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.

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.

9. ¿Por qué no es lo mismo distancia que desplazamiento?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

What force must the worker exert to get the box moving &amp; what force must the worker exert to accelerate the box at 0.1 meter
photoshop1234 [79]

Since static friction is the minimum force required to just start the motion of a stationary object.

Here if we need to start an object from rest then we required F = 700 N

So for the first part of the above problem Force will be F = 700 N

Now if the box is already moving then we will have to use kinetic friction force between box and floor

now we can write the equation of net force as

F - F_k = m*a

here

F_k = kinetic friction = 220 N

m = mass = 500 kg

a = acceleration = 0.1 m/s^2

now we will have

F - 220 = 500* 0.1

F = 220 + 50 = 270 N

Two masses of size m and 4m are connected by a massless thread and are strung over a frictionless pulley of radius R and moment-
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl

Explanation:

Given two masses: m and 4m.

Since the pulley is frictionless and the thread is massless, the energy here is linked to the two masses.

Total kinetic energy of entire system = decrease in gravitational potential energy of the system.

Therefore, we have :

ΔKE = Δp

ΔKE = 4mgl - mgl

= 3 mgl

Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl
