Answer:

a.  v=3.11mls, 29.4^{0}

b.   K.E =-697.8J

Explanation:

To calculate the values in the  question, a deep understanding of perfect inelastic collision is important.

When two bodies undergo inelastic collision, two important parameters must be well understood i.e

Momentum: the momentum is always conserved in perfectly inelastic collision. i.e the total momentum after collision is the sum of the individual momentum before collision

Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is not conserved due to dissipative force.

a.To calculate the velocity, we first find the total momentum before collision

Momentum of player 1 p_{1} =mv=95kg*5m/s\\p_{1} =475kgm/s\\

Momentum of player 2 p_{2} =mv=90kg*3m/s\\p_{1} =270kgm/s\\

Hence the total momentum p_{12}=p_{1}+p_{2}\\

Note, since the direction of movement before collision is due south and  due north respectively we have to represent the velocity using the rectangular coordinate

Hence  p_{12}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v=p_{1}i+p_{2}j\\

(95+90)v=475i+270j\\

v=2.57i+1.45j\\

solving for the resultant velocity, we have

v=\sqrt{2.75^{2} +1.45^{2}}\\ v=3.11mls

To calculate the direction of movement, we have

\alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{v_{j} }{v_{i}}\\  \alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{1.45}{2.57}\\\alpha =29.4^{0}

b. to calculate the decrease in total kinetic energy, before collision, the total kinetic was

K.E_{initial} =\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}.\\K.E_{initial} =((1/2)*95*5^{2})+((1/2)*90*3^{2})\\K.E_{initial} =1187.5+405\\K.E_{initial} =1592.5J\\

And the final kinetic energy after collision is

K.E_{final} =\frac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2} )v^{2}\\  K.E_{final} =\frac{1}{2}(95+90)* 3.11^{2}\\ K.E_{final} =894.7J

The decrease in Kinetic energy is

K.E =K.E_{final}- K.E_{initial}=894.7-1592.5

K.E =-697.8J

The negative sign indicate a decrease in Kinetic energy

An artist wants to create a metal sculpture using a mold so that his artwork can be readily mass produced. He wants his sculptur
lukranit [14]

Answer:NO

Explanation:

No the mold should not be of the same size as that of sculpture because the material from which molds is made may shrink or expand depending upon its properties .

For example grey cast iron shrinks on cooling.

We need to make mold bigger in general so that if there is a need of finishing it can be done easily without altering the size of sculpture.

Consider three drinking glasses. All three have thesame area base, and all three are filled to the same depth withwater. Glass A
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.  All three have equal non-zero pressure

Explanation:

Pressure is the relationship between the force and the area of ​​a body, when the bodies are liquid the formula that

         P = rho g h

Where rho is the density and h the height of the liquid

We see that for this expression the pressure does not depend on the shape of the container, but on its height, as the three vessels have the same height, the pressure at the bottom is the same.

The correct answer is C   All three have equal non-zero pressure
