Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the football player, m = 92 kg

Velocity of player, v = 5 m/s

Time taken, t = 10 s

(1) We need to find the original kinetic energy of the player. It is given by :

k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

k=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2

k = 1150  J

In two significant figure, k=1.2\times 10^3\ J

(2) We know that work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Work done per unit time is called power of the player. We need to find the average power required to stop him. So, his final velocity v = 0

i.e. P=\dfrac{W}{t}=\dfrac{\Delta K}{t}

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2}{10\ s}

P = 115 watts

In two significant figures, P=1.2\times 10^2\ Watts

Hence, this is the required solution.

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we know that

v_0 = 660 m/s

M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

m = 5 \times 10^9 kg

r = 4 \times 10^9 m

R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m

now from above formula

GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2

now plug in all data

2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2

v = 7934.2 m/s

For each of the following, describe the relationship as directly or inversely proportional:
Maksim231197 [3]
The relationships can best be described as follows:
As frequency increases, wavelength decreases. <span>The greater the </span>energy<span>, the larger the frequency </span>and<span> the shorter (smaller) the </span>wavelength<span>. </span>

<span>a) wavelength vs. frequency = inversely proportional
b) wavelength vs. energy = inversely proportional
c) frequency vs. energy = directly proportional

Hope this answers the questions. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.</span>

If a current is two amps and the resistance is 3 ohms, how much voltage was needed?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

6 V

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage in the circuit

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know the current, I=2 A, and the resistance, R=3 \Omega, therefore we can find the voltage in the circuit:

V=RI=(3 \Omega )(2 A)=6 V
