That should be the Grasslands ?
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
Answer:
Explanation:
Givens
vi = 10 m/s
a = 1.5 m/s^2
d = 600 m
vf = ?
Formula
vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d
Solution
vf^2 = 10^2 + 2*1.5 * 600
vf^2 = 100 + 1800
vf^2 = 1900
sqrt(vf^2) = sqrt(1900)
vf = 43.59 m/s
Answer:
1.) U = 39.2 m/s
2.) t = 4s
Explanation: Given that the
height H = 78.4m
The projectile is fired vertically upwards under the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2
Let's assume that the maximum height = 78.4m. And at maximum height, final velocity V = 0
Velocity of projections can be achieved by using the formula
V^2 = U^2 - 2gH
g will be negative as the object is moving against the gravity
0 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 78.4
U^2 = 1536.64
U = sqrt( 1536.64 )
U = 39.2 m/s
The time it takes to reach its highest point can be calculated by using the formula;
V = U - gt
Where V = 0
Substitute U and t into the formula
0 = 39.2 - 9.8 × t
9.8t = 39.2
t = 39.2/9.8
t = 4 seconds.
