on a very muddy football field, a 120 kg linebacker tackles an 75 kg halfback. immediately before the collision, the linebacker

is slipping with a velocity of 8.6 m/s north and the halfback is sliding with a velocity of 7.4 m/s east. What is the magnitude of the velocity at which the two players move together immediately after the collision

<u>Momentum</u> 
- a vector quantity; has both magnitude and direction
- has the same direction as object's velocity
- can be represented by components x & y.

Find linebacker momentum given m₁ = 120kg, v₁ = 8.6 m/s north
P₁ = m₁v₁
P₁ = (120)(8.6)
[ P₁ = 1032 kg·m/s ] = y-component, linebacker momentum

Find halfback momentum given m₂ = 75kg, v₂ = 7.4 m/s east
P₂ = m₂v₂
P₂ = (75)(7.4)
[ P₂ = 555 kg·m/s ] = x-component, halfback momentum

Find total momentum using x and y components.
P = √(P₁)² + (P₂)²
P = √(1032)² + (555)²
[[ P = 1171.77 kg·m/s ]] = magnitude 

!! Finally, to find the magnitude of velocity, take the divide magnitude of momentum by the total mass of the players.
P = mv
P = (m₁ + m₂)v
1171.77 = (120 + 75)v      <em>[solve for v]</em>
<em />v = 1171.77/195
v = 6.0091 ≈ 6.0 m/s

If asked to find direction, take inverse tan of x and y components.
tanθ = (y/x)
θ = tan⁻¹(1032/555)
[ θ = 61.73° north of east. ]

The magnitude of the velocity at which the two players move together immediately after the collision is approximately 6.0 m/s.

Two forces are applied on a body. One produces a force of 480-N directly forward while the other gives a 513-N force at 32.4-deg
n200080 [17]

Answer:

F = (913.14 , 274.87 )

|F| = 953.61 direction 16.71°

Explanation:

To calculate the resultant force you take into account both x and y component of the implied forces:

\Sigma F_x=480N+513Ncos(32.4\°)=913.14N\\\\\Sigma F_y=513sin(32.4\°)=274.87N

Thus, the net force over the body is:

F=(913.14N)\hat{i}+(274.87N)\hat{j}

Next, you calculate the magnitude of the force:

F=\sqrt{(913.14N)+(274.87N)^2}=953.61N

and the direction is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{274.14N}{913.14N})=16.71\°

A motorcycle is traveling along a highway at 26 m/s. How far does the motorcycle travel in 15 s?​
leva [86]
26 m/s for fifteen seconds. distance = rate times time, so distance = 26 m/s * 15 seconds. this gives you distance = 390 meters.

Three point charges are arranged along the x-axis. Charge q1 = +3.00 uC is at the origin, and charge q2= -5.00 uC is at x= 0.200
artcher [175]
We have all the charges for q1, q2, and q3. 
Since k = 8.988x10^2, and N=m^2/c^2

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)

F(2on1) = k |q1 q2| / r(the distance between the two)^2
k^ | 3x10^-6 x -5 x 10^-6 |   / (.2m)^2
F(2on1) = 3.37 N

Since F1 is 7N,

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)
7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)

Since it wil be going in the negative direction,
-7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)
F(3on1) = -10.37N

F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| / r(the distance between the two)^2 
r^2 x F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| 
r = sqrt of k |q1 q3| / F(3on1) 
= .144 m (distance between q1 and q3)
0 - .144m 

So it's located in -.144m

Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
