A 125 kg linebacker runs to the right at 2.5 m/s and an 80 kg quarterback runs to the left at 3 m/s. They collide in midair and

the linebacker holds on to the quarterback so they move off together. What is their velocity (magnitude and direction) immediately after this collision

Answer: 0.35 m/s to the right.

Explanation:

Let's define M1 and V1 as the mass and velocity of the linebacker, and define the right as the positive side.

M1 = 125kg

V1 = 2.5m/s

M2 and V2 as the velocity and mass of the quarterback.

M2 = 80kg

V2 = -3m/s

where V2 has a minus sign because the quarterback is running to the left.

We know that after the collision, both players keep stick togheter, so we can think this as an perfectly inleastic collision, where the velocity of both players can be obtained by:

v = (M1*V1 + M2*V2)/(M1 + M2) = (125kg*2.5m/s - 80kg*3m/s)/(125kg + 80kg)

v = (72.5/205) m/s = 0.35m/s

Because this velocity is positive, this means that both players are moving to the right.

zaharov [31]
Batteries always use direct current. That eliminates A and C. The other part of the answers is just asking what direct/alternating means. Alternating currents change directions moving one way then another. Direct current only moves in one direction. Therefore, the answer is D, since the current is direct and direct currents move in one direction.

A spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m is stretched 15cm. What is the force and energy associated with this stretching?
Olenka [21]
Data:
F (force) = ? (Newton)
k (<span>Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (</span>Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
F = k*x

Solving: 
F = k*x
F = 50*0.15
\boxed{\boxed{F = 7.5\:N}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Data:
E (energy) = ? (joule)
k (Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}

Solving:(Energy associated with this stretching)
E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}
E =  \frac{50*0.15^2}{2}
E =  \frac{50*0.0225}{2}
E =  \frac{1.125}{2}
\boxed{\boxed{E = 0.5625\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

qaws [65]

Answer: through digested food

Explanation: cells get their sugar molecules from the food that is taken in by an organism. The food taken in is digested by the stomach into base materials like sugar, fatty acids and amino acids. These base materials are circulated through the blood till they get to the cells where they are needed.

A 55 kg skater at rest on a frictionless rink throws a 3 kg ball, giving the ball a velocity of 8 m/s. What is the velocity of t
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The velocity will be v1 = 0.58[m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the law of conservation of the moment, which explains that the moment of a system remains constant because there are no external forces acting on it.

We have the following initial data:

m1 = mass of the skater = 55 [kg]

m2 = mass of the ball = 3 [kg]

v2 = velocity of the ball = 8 [m/s]

Therefore:

m_{1}*v_{1}+m_{2}*v_{2}=m_{1}*v_{1}+m_{2}*v_{2}\\(50*0)+(3*0)=(50*v_{1})+(3*8)\\50+3-24=50*v_{1}\\v_{1}= 0.58[m/s]
