During a football game, a receiver has just caught a pass and is standing still. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a vel

ocity of 4.8 m/s, grabs and holds onto him so that they move off together with a velocity of 2.5 m/s. If the mass of the tackler is 100 kg, determine the mass of the receiver in kilograms. Assume momentum is conserved.

Answer:

Mass of receiver is 92 kg        

Explanation:

We have given mass of tackler m_1=100kg

Let the mass of receiver is m_2kg

When tackler moving alone velocity is v_i=4.8 m/sec

And when tackler and receiver is together velocity is v_f = 2.5 m/sec

So from conservation of momentum

m_1v_i=(m_1+m_2)v_f

100\times 4.8=(100+m_2)\times 2.5

2.5m_2+250=480

2.5m_2=230

m_2=92kg

So mass of receiver is 92 kg

The radioactive isotope U-238 has protons and neutrons.
Archy [21]

Answer:

92 protons, 146 neutrons

Explanation:

Uranium will always have the same amount of protons, because that is what defines the element. Uranium has 92 protons, meaning that the rest of the mass of the atom comes from neutrons. 238-92=146 neutrons. Hope this helps!

If I want to calculate the normal force of an object on two legs but the weight of the object is not uniform throughout, how do
RoseWind [281]

Use the right equation. To calculate the normal force of an object at an angle, you need to use the formula: N = m * g * cos (x) For this equation, N refers to the normal force, m refers to the object's mass, g refers to the acceleration of gravity, and x refers to the angle of incline.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

There are basically seven spectral types which are used for classifying the stars and it is arranged in the order of increasing temperature from the hottest temperature to the coldest division are: O, B, A, F, G, K, and M. These categories are basically divided into the sub category in the spectral where O is the hottest type and M is the coldest type.

How fast, in rpm, would a 5.6 kg, 25-cm-diameter bowling ball have to spin to have an angular momentum of 0.26 kgm2/s
solong [7]

Answer:

71 rpm

Explanation:

Given that:

Angular momentum (L) = 0.26

Diameter = 25cm = 0.25 cm

Radius, r = (d/2) = 0.125m

Mass = 5.6 kg

Moment of inertia (I) = 2mr² / 5

I = (2 * 5.6 * 0.125^2) / 5

= 0.175

= 0.175 / 5

= 0.035 kgm²

Angular speed (w) ;

w = L / I

w = 0.26 / 0.035

= 7.4285714

= 7.429 rad/s

w = (7.429 * 60/2π)

w = 445.74 / 2π rpm

w = 70.941724

Angular speed = 70.94 rpm

= 71 rpm
