Their velocity afterwards is 2.88 m/s east

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, for an isolated system (= no external force), the total momentum must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

where: in this case:

m_1 = 91.5 kg is the mass of the first player

u_1 = 2.73 m/s is the initial velocity of the first player (choosing east as positive direction)

m_2 = 63.5 kg is the mass of the second player

u_2 = 3.09 m/s is the initial velocity of the second player

v is their combined velocity afterwards

Solving for v, we find:

v = \frac{m_1 u_1+m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(91.5)(2.73)+(63.5)(3.09)}{91.5+63.5}=2.88 m/s

And the sign is positive, so the direction is east.

A fairground ride consists of a large vertical drum that spins so
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

v = 3.84 m/s

Explanation:

In order for the riders to stay pinned against the inside of the drum the frictional force on them must be equal to the centripetal force:

Centripetal\ Force = Frictional\ Force\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \mu R = \mu W\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \mu mg\\\\\frac{v^2}{r} = \mu g\\\\v = \sqrt{\mu gr}

where,

v = minimum speed = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

r = radius = 10 m

μ = coefficient of friction = 0.15

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{(0.15)(9.81\ m/s^2)(10\ m)}

<u>v = 3.84 m/s</u>

A heavy box is in the back of a truck. the truck is accelerating to the right. apply your analysis to the box.a) draw a motion d
Andru [333]

Explanation :

It is given that, a heavy box is in the back of a truck and the truck is accelerating to the right.

The description is shown in<em> figure 1</em>. Here, the forces that act on both box and the truck are the normal force, the frictional force and their weight mg.

The free body diagram is shown in <em>figure 2</em>. This shows the total forces            ( F = ma )acting on the truck. As a result, the truck will move in a forward direction.

Hence, this is the required explanation.

Reyna kicks a ball, which then rolls across a grassy field. Which is the best explanation for why the ball eventually comes to a
nataly862011 [7]

Short Answer- Friction

Explanation- There is friction between the grass and the ball. Friction is a type of force that limits motion between two surfaces that are touching. Friction is the force that one surface exerts on another with the two surfaces rubbing together.

This is the answer, hope it helps :)

An elevator cab and its load have a combined mass of 1200 kg. Find the tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

10044 N

Explanation:

The acceleration of the cab is calculated using the equation of motion:

v^2 = u^2+2as

<em>v</em> is the final velocity = 0 m/s in this question, since it is brought to rest

<em>u</em> is the initial velocity = 10 m/s

<em>a</em> is the acceleration

<em>s</em> is the distance = 35 m

a = \dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s} = \dfrac{(0 \text{ m/s})^2-(10 \text{ m/s})^2}{2\times (35\text{ m})} = -1.43\text{ m/s}^2

Since it accelerates downwards, its resultant acceleration is

a_R = g + a

<em>g</em> is the acceleration of gravity.

a_R = (9.8-1.43)\text{ m/s}^2 = 8.37\text{ m/s}^2

The tension in the cable is

T = ma_R = (1200\text{ kg})(8.37\text{ m/s}^2) = 10044 \text{ N}
