Answer:

d = 10 inch

Explanation:

The farthest distance between the centers, is along the diagonal of the rectangle. Therefore, we need to calculate the diagonal of the rectangle, but counting the fact that we have both circles.

So if, one side is 12 inch, and the other is 14 inch, we can use the Pitagoras theorem which is:

d = √(a²) + (b)²

Where a and b, are the lenght of the rectangle, but without the lenght  of the diameter of both circles.

With this, the expression is this:

d = √(14 - 6)² + (12 - 6)²

d = √64+36

d = √100

d = 10 inches

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.16 kg travels at a velocity of 40 m/s toward a goalkeeper. The goalkeeper has a mass of 120 kg an
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass of a body and its velocity.

Given the mass of the puck m1 = 0.16kg

velocity of the puck v1 = 40m/s

Given the mass of the goalkeeper m2 = 120kg

velocity of the goalkeeper v2= 0m/s (goal keeper at rest)

The total momentum of the goalkeeper and puck after the puck is caught by the goalkeeper is expressed as:

m1v1 + m2v2 (their momentum will be added since they collide)

= 0.16(40) + 120(0)

= 0.16(40) + 0

= 6.4kgm/s

Let us calculate their common velocity using the conservation of momentum formula;

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

6.4 = (0.16+120)v

6.4 = 120.16v

v = 6.4/120.16

v = 0.053m/s

Hence after collision, both objects move at a velocity of 0.053m/s

Momentum of the puck after collision = m1v

Momentum of the puck after collision = 0.16*0.053m/s

Momentum of the puck after collision = 0.0085kgm/s

Momentum of the keeper after collision = m2v

Momentum of the keeper after collision = 120*0.053m/s

Momentum of the keeper after collision = 6.36kgm/s

From the calculation above, it can be seen that the keeper has the greater momentum after the puck was caught since the momentum of the keeper after collision is greater than that of the puck
