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

Suppose that you have been chosen for a space mission to a distant planet. Due to the length of time you'll be away from Earth y
Contact [7]

Answer:

I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.

Explanation:

Since time dilates in moving objects, we use the formula t = t₀/√(1 - β²) where t = time in space vehicle, t₀ = time on earth = 9 hours and β = v/c where v = speed of space vehicle = 0.8c.

So, t = t₀/√(1 - β²)

t = 9/√(1 - (v/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8c/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.64)

= 9/√0.36

= 9/0.6

= 15 hr

So, according to a timer on the space vehicle, I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.
