By the condition of momentum conservation we can say that since there is no external force along horizontal direction so we will have

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

here we know that

m_1 = 92 kg

v_{1i} = 7.5 m/s

m_2 = 112 kg

also we know that

v_{1f} = v_{2f} = 0

now from above equation we have

92(7.5) + 112 v = 0 + 0

now we have

v = 6.16 m/s

so the speed of the other player must be 6.16 m/s

the measure of each exterior angle of a regular pentagon is ___ the measure of each exterior angle of a regular nonagon
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

(a) 72°

(b) 40°

Explanation:

PENTAGON

First, we calculate the total angles in a Pentagon using:

180(n - 2)

Where n = number of sides of the polygon, in this case, 5.

Hence, the total angle in a polygon is

180(5 - 2) = 180 * 3 = 540°

Therefore, each angle will be:

540°/5 = 108°

Because the interior angle and exterior angle form a straight line (180°), the exterior angle of a regular pentagon will be:

180 - 108 = 72°

The exterior angle of a regular Pentagon is 72°

NONAGON

First, we calculate the total angles in a Nonagon using:

180(n - 2)

Where n = number of sides of the polygon, in this case, 9.

Hence, the total angle in a polygon is

180(9 - 2) = 180 * 7 = 1260°

Therefore, each angle will be:

1260°/9 = 140°

Because the interior angle and exterior angle form a straight line (180°), the exterior angle of a regular nonagon will be:

180 - 140 = 40°

The exterior angle of a regular Nonagon is 40°
