Gravity decreases with the square of the distance, so the new force is (20)/(2*2) = 5N.

Football player 1 has a mass of 80 kg and a velocity of 2 m/s east while player 2 has a mass of 70 kg and a velocity of 3 m/s we
sukhopar [10]

The total momentum of the system is equal to 50 Kgm/s.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Mass 1 = 80 kg
  • Velocity 1 = 2 m/s east.
  • Mass 2 = 70 kg
  • Velocity 2 = 3 m/s west.

To determine the total momentum of the system:

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass \times velocity

<u>For Football player 1:</u>

Momentum = 80 \times 2

Momentum 1 = 160 Kgm/s.

<u>For Football player 2:</u>

Momentum = 70 \times 3

Momentum 1 = 210 Kgm/s.

Now, we can calculate the total momentum of the system:

Total\;momentum = momentum \;2 - momentum \;1\\\\Total\;momentum = 210-160

Total momentum = 50 Kgm/s.

<u>Note:</u> We subtracted because the football players were moving in opposite directions.

estion: Why is it important to use vector quantities and not just scalar quantities to describe the motion of an object? Vector
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Vector quantities are important in the study of motion. Some examples of vector quantities include force, velocity, acceleration, displacement, and momentum. The difference between a scalar and vector is that a vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. A quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction. The resulting motion of the aircraft in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration are also vector quantities. A vector quantity is different to a scalar quantity because a quantity that has magnitude but no particular direction is described as scalar. A quantity that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as vector.

A star is moving away from an observer at 1% of the speed of light. At what wavelength would the observer find an emission line
Ivan

Answer:

  λ = 5940 Angstroms

Explanation:

This is an exercise of the relativistic Doppler effect

        f’= f  √((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

Where the speed in between the strr and the observer is positive if they move away

Let's use the relationship

         c = λ f

         f = c /λ

We replace

              c /λ’ = c /λ  √ ((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

              λ = λ’ √ ((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

Let's calculate

             v = 0.01 c

             v = 0.01 3 10⁸

             v=  3 10⁶ m / s

             λ = 6000 √ [(1- 3 10⁶/3 10⁸) / (1+ 3 10⁶/3 10⁸)]

             λ = 6000 √ [0.99 / 1.01]

             λ = 5940 Angstroms

How to tell if a circuit is connected in.a series.or parallel?
stepladder [879]

Series circuits split the voltage of resistors, so if you see several diodes connected <em>in series </em>or all next to each other, just a complete loop, it will be in series.

Parallel circuits split the current of resistors, so if you see several diodes connected along different branches or pathways, it will be in parallel.

Voltage needed to raise current to 3.75a using 20,20,200 resistor set
Varvara68 [4.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The voltage needed is 35.7 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

Assuming that the resistors are arranged in parallel combination.

For the resistors arranged in parallel combination:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

We are given:

R_1=20\Omega\\R_2=20\Omega\\R_3=200\Omega

Using above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{200}\\\\\frac{1}{R}=\frac{10+10+1}{200}\\\\R=\frac{200}{21}=9.52\Omega

Calculating the voltage by using Ohm's law:

V=IR         .....(1)

where,

V = voltage applied

I = Current = 3.75 A

R = Resistance = 9.52\Omega

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

V=3.75\times 9.52\\\\V=35.7V

Hence, the voltage needed is 35.7 V
