A 98-kg fullback, running at 5.0 m/s, attempts to dive directly across the goal line for a touchdown. Just as he reaches the lin

e, he is met head-on in midair by two 68-kg linebackers both moving in the direction opposite the fullback. One is moving at 2.0 m/s, the other at 4.0 m/s. They all become entangled as one mass.
(a) Sketch the event, identifying "before" and "after" situations. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.) This answer has not been graded yet.
(b) What is the velocity of the football players after the collision? (Take the positive direction to be the initial direction of the fullback.) m/s
(c) Does the fullback score a touchdown?
Yes

Answer:

(a) Explained below

(b) v_f=0.35\ m/s

(c) Yes

Explanation:

<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum</u>

The total linear momentum of a system of particles or objects is conserved unless an external force is acting on the system. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and velocity v is P=mv. If there is a system of bodies, then the total linear momentum is the sum of the individual momentums

P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...+m_nv_n

When objects collide and join together, the only final mass is the sum of all masses, all traveling at the same speed.

Our m_1=98\ kg fullback runs at v_1=5\ m/s. Two two 68-kg linebackers attempt to stop him, one at -2.0 m/s and the other at -4.0 m/s. The negative value is because the run against the positive direction, taken in the direction of the fullback.

(a) Before the event, there is a total linear momentum, computed as the sum of the momentums of each player as shown

p_1=m_1v_1=(98)(5)=490 Kg\ m/s

p_2=m_2v_2=(68)(-4)=-272 kg\ m/s

p_3=m_3v_3=(68)(-2)=-136 kg\ m/s

p_t=p_1+p_2+p_3=390-272-136=82\ kg\ m/s

After the collision, all the players keep joined in one single mass of.

m_t=98+68+68=234\ kg

They will move at a speed which will be computed below

(b) The final momentum of the system is

p_f=m_tv_f=82\ kg\ m/s

Since the linear momentum is conserved, the final speed v_f is common to all of the players. Let's solve to find it

\displaystyle v_f=\frac{p_f}{m_t}

\displaystyle v_f=\frac{82}{234}

v_f=0.35\ m/s

(c) Since the final speed of the players is positive, it means the touchdown was actually scored, the fullback moved forward across the goal line, the positive reference.

Highest fluid potential energy: answer A
Because the fluid is pushed upwards and potential energy is function of height. Since point A is the highest, there is the highest potential energy.

highest fluid pressure: answer C
This is because it is at the bottom where you have a hydrostatic pressure component

increasing fluid speed: answer B
This is because the section of the pipe is smaller and in order to have the same fluid flow rate the speed must increase

Answer:

The load that can be lifted is equal to the weight W = F2A1/A2

Explanation:

According to Pascal principle which states that the pressure applied to a liquid confined in a container will be transmitted equally to all other parts of the container.

Since pressure = Force/Area

The force F2 applied at one end of the piston will generate a pressure of F2/A2. This pressure generated will be transmitted to the other end of the piston of area A1 to lift the load through a distance.

The piston where the load is will experience an upward force F1 which is equal to Pressure × Area.

The pressure experienced by the load is applied by force F2.

Force on the load = (Pressure exerted by Force F2) × Area at the larger end A1

Force on the load = F2/A2 × A1

Since the load experiences a weight W

The weight will be equal to the force on the load which is to be lifted i.e W =Force on the load.

W = F2A1/A2

The load that can be lifted is equal to the weight W = F2A1/A2
