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 :)

andrew-mc [135]
In fresh water sound waves travel at 1497m/s at 25 degrees, I'll assume that's the characteristics of the water.

If it's 0.01s then you need to divide the speed by 100 to get the, 14.97, however it gets there and back in that time so you need to halve it.

In the 2016 Olympics in Rio, after the 50 mm freestyle competition, a problem with the pool was found. In lane 1 there was a gen
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Explanation:

still water speed is 50 m / 25.0 s = 2.00 m/s or 200 cm/s

In lane 1 the effective speed would be 201.2 cm/s

5000 cm / 201.2 cm/s = 24.85 s

The change is 25.00 - 24.85 = 0.15 s decrease in time

In lane 8, the effective speed would be 198.8 cm/s

5000 cm / 198.8 cm/s = 25.15 s

The change is 25.00 - 25.15 = 0.15 s increase in time

ladessa [460]

Answer:

"the force of attraction between two objects"

Explanation:

According to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, gravity is a force of attraction acting between objects that possess mass. The fact that we only observe gravitational attraction (as opposed to repulsion) makes gravity unique among the known forces.
