A football player runs at 8m/s and plows into a 80kg referee standing on the field causing the referee to fly forward at 5m/s. I

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

Picture a long, straight corridor running east-west, with a water fountain located somewhere along it. Starting from the west en
Brut [27]

Answer:

The corridor's distance is "90 m".

Explanation:

  • She heads in the east directions but creates the first pause, meaning she crosses the distance 'x' in step 1.
  • Now, provided that perhaps the distance by her to another fountain or waterfall just after the first stop is twice as far away she traveled.
  • Because she moved the distance of 'x,' then, therefore, her distance towards the fountain of '2x.' She casually strolls and once again pauses 60 m beyond her stop.
  • The gap about her to the waterfall during that time approximately twice the distance and her to the eastern end of the hallway.
  • Assume her gap from either the east end of the platform seems to be 'y' at either the second stop, after which '2y' may become the distance between the 2nd pause and the waterfall.

Now,

⇒  2x + 2y = 60

⇒  x + y = 30

The total distance of the corridor will be:

=  x + 2x + 2y + y

=  3\times (x + y)

=  3\times 30

=  90 \ m

A mover brings a box up the stairs in 10 seconds. If he applied a force of 20 N over a distance 10 m on the box, calculate the p
Softa [21]

Answer:

20 Watts

Explanation:

Work = force × distance

W = (20 N) (10 m)

W = 200 Joules

Power = work / time

P = 200 J / 10 s

P = 20 Watts

Define these terms about speed and state their units<br> speed​<br>distance covered<br>time taken
Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. It is a scalar quantity with magnitude both no direction.

  Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

The unit is m/s or km/hr or mile/hr

Distance covered is simply the length of the path traveled.

 The unit is m or km or miles

Time taken is the duration of an event.

  The unit is seconds or minutes or hour.
