Two football players collide head-on in midair while trying to catch a thrown football. The first player is 98.5 kg and has an i

nitial velocity of 6.05 m/s, while the second player is 119 kg and has an initial velocity of −3.50 m/s. What is their velocity (in m/s) just after impact if they cling together? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Answer:

v_f=0.825m/s

Explanation:

We must use conservation of linear momentum before and after the collision, p_i=p_f

Before the collision we have:

p_i=p_1+p_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where these are the masses are initial velocities of both players.

After the collision we have:

p_f=(m_1+m_2)v_f

since they clong together, acting as one body.

This means we have:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f

Or:

v_f=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

Which for our values is:

v_f=\frac{(98.5kg)(6.05m/s)+(119kg)(-3.5m/s)}{(98.5kg)+(119kg)}=0.825m/s

What are two situational examples of unbalanced forces?
polet [3.4K]

An example of a balanced force is two cards leaning against each other and not falling over, or two football players blocking each other but neither overpowering the other. An example of an unbalanced force is two cards leaning on each other then falling over, or two football players blocking each other, then one tackles the other.

A 3.20 kg block starts at rest and slides a distance d down a frictionless β = 30.0 ◦ incline, where it runs into a spring with
Virty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) work done by gravitational force

= mg sinθ ( d + .21)

Potential energy stored in compressed spring

= 1/2 k x²

= .5 x 431 x ( .21 )²

= 9.5

According to conservation of energy

mg sinθ ( d + .21)  = 9.5

3.2 x 9.8 x sin 30( d + .21 ) = 9.5

d = 40 cm

b )

As long as mg sin30 is greater than kx ( restoring force ) , there will be acceleration in the block.

mg sin30 = kx

3.2 x 9.8 x .5 = 431 x

x =  3.63 cm

When there is compression of 3.63 cm in the spring , block will have maximum velocity. there after its speed will start decreasing.

Which statements best describe x-rays? check all that apply. x-rays are electromagnetic waves. x-rays are longitudinal waves. x-
igor_vitrenko [27]

X ray is one of the electromagnetic waves.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, all the electromagnetic waves move with the velocity of light i.e c= 3×10^8 m/s

In case of electromagnetic waves,the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.The electromagnetic waves exhibit the property of polarisation. Hence they are transverse in nature.

Hence the best statements about X- ray will be-

1- X -rays are electromagnetic waves

2-X-rays are transverse transverse waves

3- X- rays travel at the speed of light.

By newton third law of motion, we know that if a rocket ship pushes down on the ground, the ground will push back up on the rock
Furkat [3]

We don't know that at all. The 3rd law says that the REaction is opposite and EQUAL to the action.  We don't know where that "twice as much" comes from.

What is the eaquation for acceleration ?
telo118 [61]
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. where a is acceleration, v is the final velocity of the object, u is the initial velocity of the object and t is the time that has elapsed. This equation can be rearranged to give: v = u + at.
