On a very muddy football field, a 110kg linebacker tackles an 85kg halfback. Immediately before the collision, the linebacker is

slipping with a velocity of 8.8m/s north and the halfback is sliding with a velocity of 7.2m/s east.
A. What is the magnitude of the velocity at which the two players move together immediately after the collision?

B.What is the direction of this velocity ?

Answer:

A. the magnitude of the velocity at which the two players move together immediately after the collision is 7.9m/s

B. The direction of this velocity is due north as the linebacker since he has obviously has more momentum

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the inelastic collision

Given data

Mass of linebacker m1= 110kg

Mass of halfbacker m2= 85kg

Velocity of linebacker v1= 8.8m/s

Velocity of halfbacker v2= 7.2m/s

Applying the principle of conservation of momentum for inelastic collision we have

m1v1 +m2v2= (m1+m2)v

Where v is the common velocity after impact

Substituting our data into the expression we have

110*8.5+85*7.2= (110+85)v

935+612=195v

1547=195v

v=1547/195

v=7.9m/s

Momentum of linebacker after impact = 110*7.9= 869Ns

Momentum of halfbacker after impact = 85*7.9= 671.5Ns

the direction after impact is due north since the linebacker has greater momentum

Calculate the speed of an object having momentum 7.25 x 10^5 kg.m/s and mass 0.285 kg. Answer in units of m/s.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

speed is 25.43 85 x 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

momentum = 7.25 x 10^5 kg.m/s

mass = 0.285 kg

to find out

speed

solution

we have given mass and momentum so

to find speed we apply here momentum formula that is

momentum = mass × speed ...................1

put here all value and find speed

speed = momentum / mass

speed = 7.25 x 10^5 / 0.285

speed = 2543859.649

so speed is 25.43 85 x 10^5 m/s

To overcome an object's inertia, it must be acted upon by __________.

Nastasia [14]

Correct answer choice is :

C) Force

Explanation:

In physics, a force is any cooperation that, when unrestricted, will vary the motion of an object. A force can create an object with mass to alter its velocity to accelerate. Force can also be defined intuitively as a push or a pull. A force acting on an object may create the object to alter shape, to start moving, to stop moving, to stimulate or decelerate. When two objects communicate with each other they exert a force on each other, the forces are just in size but different in direction.

What is the force of lift and its applications

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction.[1] It contrasts with the drag force, which is the component of the force parallel to the flow direction. Lift conventionally acts in an upward direction in order to counter the force of gravity, but it can act in any direction at right angles to the flow.

If the surrounding fluid is air, the force is called an aerodynamic force. In water or any other liquid, it is called a hydrodynamic force.

Dynamic lift is distinguished from other kinds of lift in fluids. Aerostatic lift or buoyancy, in which an internal fluid is lighter than the surrounding fluid, does not require movement and is used by balloons, blimps, dirigibles, boats, and submarines. Planing lift, in which only the lower portion of the body is immersed in a liquid flow, is used by motorboats, surfboards, and water-skis.

A 85.0kg man and a 65, 0kg woman are riding a Ferris wheel with a radius of 20.0m. What is the Ferris wheels tangential velocity

zvonat [6]

Answer:

The Ferris wheel's tangential (linear) velocity if the net centripetal force on the woman is 115 N is <u>3.92 m/s</u>.

Explanation:

Let's use <u>Newton's 2nd Law</u> to help solve this problem.

F = ma

The force acting on the Ferris wheel is the centripetal force, given in the problem: $F_c=115 \ \text{N}$ .

The mass "m" is the <u>sum</u> of the man and woman's masses: $85+65= 150 \ \text{kg}$ .

The acceleration is the centripetal acceleration of the Ferris wheel: $a_c=\displaystyle \frac{v^2}{r}$ .

Let's write an equation and solve for "v", the tangential (linear) acceleration.

$\displaystyle 115=m(\frac{v^2}{r} )$
$\displaystyle 115 = (85+65)(\frac{v^2}{20})$
$\displaystyle 115=150(\frac{v^2}{20} )$
$.766667=\displaystyle(\frac{v^2}{20} )$
$15.\overline{3}=v^2$
$v=3.9158$

The Ferris wheel's tangential velocity is 3.92 m/s.
