A football player with a mass of 88 kg and a speed of 2.0 m/s collides head-on with a player from the opposing team whose mass i

s 120 kg. The players stick together and are at rest after the collision. Find the speed of the second player, assuming the speed of light is 3.0 m/s.

Answer:

Speed of another player, v₂ = 1.47 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of football player, m₁ = 88 kg

Speed of player, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of player of opposing team, m₂ = 120 kg

The players stick together and are at rest after the collision. It shows an example of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V is the final velocity after collision. Here, V = 0 as both players comes to rest after collision.

v_2=-\dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_2}

v_2=-\dfrac{88\ kg\times 2\ m/s}{120\ kg}

v_2=-1.47\ m/s

So, the speed of another player is 1.47 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A person rides a Ferris wheel that turns with constant angular velocity. Her weight is 549.0 N. At the top of the ride her appar
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that the angular velocity is constant.

The actual weight is W = 549N

The ride apparent weight is

W' = 1.5N

Apparent weight at the top of the ride?

Using newton second law of motion

ΣF = m•ar

ar is the radial acceleration

N — W = —m•ar

N = W —m•ar

N = mg —m•ar

N = m(g—ar)

The apparent weight is equal to the normal

W'(top) = N = m(g—ar)

W'(top) = m(g—ar)

W'(top) = mg —m•ar

We know that the actual weight is

W=mg

Also, the apparent weight is

W' = m•ar

Then

W'(top) = Actual weight - apparent

W'(top) = 549—1.5

W'(top) = 547.5 N

Aleks [24]

Answer:

a. 1.64 m/s²

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the square of tangential velocity divided by the radius.

a = v²/r

First, convert km/h to m/s.

30.0 km/h (1000 m/km) (1 h / 3600 s) = 8.33 m/s

Find the acceleration.

a = (8.33 m/s)² / (42.4 m)

a = 1.64 m/s²
