Answer:

a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.

Explanation:

Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.  

Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.

The magnitude of the average force exerted on the ball by the wall is 225.469 N.

<h3>What is impulse?</h3>

The change in momentum is equal to the product of impact force applied while colliding and time for that impact.

Impulse F. t = m (Vf -Vi)

where, Vf is the final velocity and Vi is the initial velocity.

Given is a 3.42 kg steel ball strikes a massive wall at 14.3 m/s at an angle of α = 61.5° with respect to the plane of the wall. It bounces off with the same speed and angle. The ball is in contact with the wall for 0.207 s

Substitute the values into the expression, we get

Impulse = 2 x mvcosθ

Impulse= 2 x 3.42 x 14.3 x cos 61.5°

Impulse = 46.672 kg.m/s

The impact force can be written as

F.t = I

Put the given values, we have

F = 46.672 /  0.207

F = 225.469 N

Thus, the magnitude of force exerted by the wall is 225.469 N

Two football players run towards each other along a straight path in Penrith Park in the clash between the Melbourne storms and
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

a) v = 0.4799 m / s,  b)  K₀ = 1600.92 J,    K_f = 5.46 J

Explanation:

a) How the two players collide this is a momentum conservation exercise. Let's define a system formed by the two players, so that the forces during the collision are internal and also the system is isolated, so the moment is conserved.

Initial instant. Before the crash

        p₀ = m v₁ + M v₂

where m = 95 kg and his velocity is v₁ = -3.75 m / s, the other player's data is M = 111 kg with velocity v₂ = 4.10 m / s, we have selected the direction of this player as positive

Final moment. After the crash

       p_f = (m + M) v

as the system is isolated, the moment is preserved

       p₀ = p_f

       m v₁ + M v₂ = (m + M) v

       v =\frac{m v_1 + M v_2}{m+M}

let's calculate

        v = \frac{ -95 \ 3.75 \ + 111 \ 4.10}{95+111}

        v = 0.4799 m / s

b) let's find the initial kinetic energy of the system

         K₀ = ½ m v1 ^ 2 + ½ M v2 ^ 2

         K₀ = ½ 95 3.75 ^ 2 + ½ 111 4.10 ^ 2

         K₀ = 1600.92 J

the final kinetic energy

         K_f = ½ (m + M) v ^ 2

         k_f = ½ (95 + 111) 0.4799 ^ 2

         K_f = 5.46 J
