The topic here is momentum.

When a collision is said to be elastic, it means that the colliding objects now travel at their own new, indivual and distinct velocities, often in different directions.

So we write that as,

(mass of football player x velocity of football player) + (mass of referee x velocity of referee) = (mass of football player x velocity of football player) + (mass of referee x velocity of referee)

(M × 8) + (80 × 0) = (M× 0) + (80 × 5)

8M = 400

M = 50 kg

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal.

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 112 feet tall with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The
nordsb [41]

Answer:

t=6.96s

Explanation:

From this exercise, our knowable variables are <u>hight and initial velocity </u>

v_{oy}=96ft/s

y_{o}=112ft

To find how much time does the <u>ball strike the ground</u>, we need to know that the final position of the ball is y=0ft

y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

0=112ft+(96ft/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(32.2ft/s^{2})t^{2}

Solving for t using quadratic formula

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

a=-\frac{1}{2} (32.2)\\b=96\\c=112

t=-0.999s or t=6.96s

<u><em>Since time can't be negative the answer is t=6.96s</em></u>

List the three main things necessary to build an electromagnet.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Electromagnets are special types of magnets that are made by passing current through coils of wire. To make an electromagnet, the minimum requirements are:

1. A nail (usually made of iron, steel or zinc)

2. Dry cell batteries

3. Wire (Usually copper wire)

Other things could be:

1. Electric tape to hold both ends of the wire properly at the battery terminals.

2. Scissors to cut the wire into desired length.

3. Iron fillings for testing purposes.
