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.

What is a convex lens?​
Leona [35]

<em>The convex lens is a lens that converges rays of light that convey parallel to its principal axis (i.e. converges the incident rays towards the principal axis) which is relatively thick across the middle and thin at the lower and upper edges. The edges are curved outward rather than inward.</em>

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m2 of power per unit area. A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagati
Margaret [11]

Answer:

P=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m² of power per unit area.

A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

We need to find the radiation pressure on it. It is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{2I}{c}

Where

c is speed of light

Putting all the values, we get :

P=\dfrac{2\times 38.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\\=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

So, the radiation pressure is 2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2.

As a physics instructor hurries to the bus stop, her bus passes her, stops ahead, and begins loading passengers. She runs at 6.0
Alika [10]

velocity of the physics instructor with respect to bus

v = 6 m/s

acceleration of the bus is given as

a = 2 m/s^2

acceleration of instructor with respect to bus is given as

a = -2 m/s^2

now the maximum distance that instructor will move with respect to bus is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 6^2 = 2(-2)(d)

-36 = - 4 d

d = 9 m

so the position of the instructor with respect to door is exceed by

\delta x = 9 - 6 = 3 m

so it will be moved maximum by 3 m distance
