According to the conservation of momentum, if a small football player collides with a much larger football player, which of the

following statements will be true? a The larger football player will move, but because of his larger mass, his velocity will be much slower than the smaller player b The smaller football player will be stopped completely, his mass being not enough to move the larger one c The larger football player will have to start moving towards the smaller one as it collides if there is to be any effect d The smaller football player will experience a larger force than the larger football player

Answer:

a The larger football player will move, but because of his larger mass, his velocity will be much slower than the smaller player

Explanation:

When the collision takes two equal and opposite forces are created at the point of collision . The force created on the bigger mass will force it to accelerate and the force on moving smaller mass will force it to slow down .

Because of bigger mass , acceleration on bigger mass will be less and hence its velocity will be less .

Hence option a is the right answer.

Answer:

4.6×10^-7 m or 0.46nm

Explanation:

From

Wo= hc/λ

Where:

Wo= work function of the metal

h= planks constant

c= speed of light

λ= wavelength

λ= hc/Wo

λ= 6.6×10^-34 × 3×10^8/4.30×10^-19

λ= 4.6×10^-7 m

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Time of flight  A is greatest

Explanation:

Let u₁ , u₂, u₃ be their initial velocity and θ₁ , θ₂ and θ₃ be their angle of projection. They all achieve a common highest height of H.

So

H = u₁² sin²θ₁ /2g

H = u₂² sin²θ₂ /2g

H = u₃² sin²θ₃ /2g

On the basis of these equation we can write

u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂=u₃ sinθ₃

For maximum range we can write

D = u₁² sin2θ₁ /g

1.5 D = u₂² sin2θ₂ / g

2 D =u₃² sin2θ₃ / g

1.5 D / D = u₂² sin2θ₂ /u₁² sin2θ₁

1.5 = u₂ cosθ₂ /u₁ cosθ₁      ( since , u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂ )

u₂ cosθ₂ >u₁ cosθ₁

u₂ sinθ₂ < u₁ sinθ₁

2u₂ sinθ₂ / g < 2u₁ sinθ₁ /g

Time of flight B < Time of flight  A

Similarly we can prove

Time of flight C < Time of flight B

Hence Time of flight  A is greatest .
