A rugby player of mass 75 kg, running east at 8.0 m/s, tackles another player of mass 90 kg who is running directly towards him

at 5.0 m/s. If the two players cling together after the tackle, what will be their common velocity?

You can use the formula:
(m1 + m2)vf = m1vi
m1 = mass of first rugby player (75 kg)
m2 = mass of second rugby player (90)
vf = their final velocity
vi = the initial velocity 

(m1 + m2)vf = m1vi
(75 + 90)vf = (75)(8.0)
165(vf) = 600
        vf = 3.64 m/s

hope this helps :)

The magnetic field in a solenoid is . A circular wire of radius 8 cm is concentric with a solenoid of radius 2 cm and length d =
defon

Answer:

6.03 mV

Explanation:

length of solenoid, L = 2 m, N = 12000, di/dt = 40 A/s,

Magnetic field due to solenoid

B = μ0 n i = μ0 N i / L

dB/dt = μ0 N / L x di / dt

dB /dt = (4 x 3.14 x 10^-7 x 12000 x 40) / 2 = 0.3 T/s

Induced emf, e = rate of change of magnetic flux

e = dΦ / dt = A x dB / dt

e = 3.14 x 0.08 x 0.08 x 0.3 = 6.03 x 10^-3 V = 6.03 mV

<h2>Weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth is 80.38 pounds</h2>

Explanation:

Given that gravitational force, F, between an object and the Earth is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the object and the center of the Earth.

             F=\frac{k}{r^2}

Where F is gravitational force  between an object and the Earth, r is the distance from the object and the center of the Earth and k is a constant.

Radius of Earth = 4000 miles

In case 1 an astronaut weighs 209 pounds on the surface of the Earth,

              209=\frac{k}{4000^2}\\\\k=3.344\times 10^9

Now we need to find weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth    

              r = 4000 + 2450 = 6450 miles

               F=\frac{k}{6450^2}\\\\F=\frac{3.344\times 10^9}{6450^2}=80.38pounds

Weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth is 80.38 pounds

Elevator is accelerating upward 3.5 M/S2 and has a mass of 300 KG. The force of gravity is 2940 N. What is the tension force pul
forsale [732]

Answer:

T = 3990 N

Explanation:

The free body diagram for the elevator consists of a tension force pointing up, and its weight pointing down. So the elevator's net force is:

F = T - 2940N

ad at the same time, using Newton's second law, we have that this net force should equal the elevator's mass (300 kg) times its acceleration (a):

T - 2940N = 300kg (3.5m/s^2)

then

T = 2940 N + 1050 N

T = 3990 N
