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 :)

Once again we have a skier on an inclined plane. The skier has mass M and starts from rest. Her speed at the bottom of the slope
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

v = 31.3 m / s

Explanation:

The law of the conservation of stable energy that if there are no frictional forces mechanical energy is conserved throughout the point.

Let's look for mechanical energy at two points, the highest where the body is at rest and the lowest where at the bottom of the plane

Highest point

       Em₀ = U = m g y

Lowest point

     Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

As there is no friction, mechanical energy is conserved

       Em₀ = Em_{f}

       m g y = ½ m v²

       v = √ 2 g y

Where we can use trigonometry to find and

       sin 30 = y / L

       y = L sin 30

Let's replace

      v = RA (2 g L sin 30)

Let's calculate

      v = RA (2 9.8 100.0 sin30)

      v = 31.3 m / s

A physics teacher performing an outdoor demonstration suddenly falls from rest off a high cliff and simultaneously shouts help.
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

H = 532 m

Explanation:

When teacher falls into the cliff then she shout for Help at the same time

so here we know that sound will go down and reflect back up

so here in 3 s distance traveled by the sound

d = vt

d = 340 \times 3

d = 1020 m

now in the same time the distance that teacher will fall down is given as

d_1 = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

d_1 = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(3^2)

d_1 = 44.1 m

now total distance traveled by teacher and sound in 3 s

d_{total} = d + d_1

d_{total} = 1020 + 44.1

this total distance must be equal to twice the height of the cliff

2H = 1064.1 m

H = 532 m

A straight fin is made from copper (k = 388 W/m-K) and is 0.5 cm in diameter and 30 cm long. The temperature at the base of the
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The rate of transfer of heat is 0.119 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the fin, D = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m

Length of the fin, l =30 cm = 0.3 m

Base temperature, T_{b} = 75^{\circ}C

Air temperature, T_{infty} = 20^{\circ}

k = 388 W/mK

h = 20\ W/m^{2}K

Now,

Perimeter of the fin, p = \pi D = 0.005\pi \ m

Cross-sectional area of the fin, A = \frac{\pi}{4}D^{2}

A = \frac{\pi}{4}(0.5\times 10^{-2})^{2} = 6.25\times 10^{- 6}\pi \ m^{2}

To calculate the heat transfer rate:

Q_{f} = \sqrt{hkpA}tanh(ml)(T_{b} - T_{infty})

where

m = \sqrt{\frac{hp}{kA}} = \sqrt{\frac{20\times 0.005\pi}{388\times 6.25\times 10^{- 6}\pi}} = 41.237

Now,

Q_{f} = \sqrt{20\times 388\times 0.005\pi\times 6.25\times 10^{- 6}\pi}tanh(41.237\times 0.3)(75 - 20) = 0.119\ W
