Answer:
a) 19.4 m/s
b) 19 m/s
Explanation:
a) In the given question,
the potential energy at the initial point = Ui = 0
the potential energy at the final point = Uf = mgh
the kinetic energy at the initial point = Ki = 1/2 mv₀².
the kinetic energy at the final point = Kf = 0
work done by air= Ea= fh = 0.262 N
Now, using the law of conservation of energy
initial energy= final energy
Ki +Ui = Kf + Uf +Ea
1/2 mv₀² + 0 = 0 + mgh + fh
1/2 mv₀² = mgh + fh
h = v₀²/ 2g (1 +f/w)
calculate m
m= w/g = 5.29 /9.8
= 0.54 kg
h = 20 ²/ (2 x9.80) x (1 0.265/5.29)
h = 19.4 m.
b) 1/2 mv² + 2fh = 1/2 mv₀²
Vg = 19 m/s
Answers:
a) -2.54 m/s
b) -2351.25 J
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the <u>Conservation of Momentum principle</u>, which establishes that the initial momentum
must be equal to the final momentum
:
(1)
Where:
(2)
(3)
is the mass of the first football player
is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)
is the mass of the second football player
is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)
is the final velocity of both football players
With this in mind, let's begin with the answers:
a) Velocity of the players just after the tackle
Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):
(4)
Isolating
:
(5)
(6)
(7) The negative sign indicates the direction of the final velocity, to the south
b) Decrease in kinetic energy of the 110kg player
The change in Kinetic energy
is defined as:
(8)
Simplifying:
(9)
(10)
Finally:
(10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision
Because mass does not change from place to place but weight does change from place to place... why? because weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in an object. mars has less gravitational force so an object will weigh less than it really weighs there
<em>Another key factor that determines a star's colour is its temperature. As stars become hotter, the overall radiated energy increases, and the peak of the curve changes to shorter wavelengths. To put it another way, when a star heats up, the light it produces moves toward the blue end of the spectrum.</em>
