on a very muddy football field, a 120 kg linebacker tackles an 75 kg halfback. immediately before the collision, the linebacker

is slipping with a velocity of 8.6 m/s north and the halfback is sliding with a velocity of 7.4 m/s east.

B4 the tackle: 

<span>The linebacker's momentum = 115 x 8.5 = 977.5 kg m/s north </span>

<span>and the halfback's momentum = 89 x 6.7 = 596.3 kg m/s east </span>


<span>After the tackle they move together with a momentum equal to the vector sum of their separate momentums b4 the tackle </span>

<span>The vector triangle is right angled: </span>

<span>magnitude of final momentum = √(977.5² + 596.3²) = 1145.034 kg m/s </span>

<span>so (115 + 89)v(f) = 1145.034 ←←[b/c p = mv] </span>

<span>v(f) = 5.6 m/s (to 2 sig figs) </span>


<span>direction of v(f) is the same as the direction of the final momentum </span>

<span>so direction of v(f) = arctan (596.3 / 977.5) = N 31° E (to 2 sig figs) </span>


<span>so the velocity of the two players after the tackle is 5.6 m/s in the direction N 31° E </span>




<span>btw ... The direction can be given heaps of different ways ... N 31° E is probably the easiest way to express it when using the vector triangle to find it</span>

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons in it. If the atom has 20 electrons in it, explain what type of charge it has and how you can t
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation.

Explanation:

The atom has a nucleus, where the protons and neutrons, which are the subatomic particles with the highest mass, are located. Practically all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.Protons have a positive electrical charge, while neutrons have no charge.

Electrons move around the nucleus with other negatively charged particles.

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons and 20 electrons in it.  That is, there are 6 more protons than electrons. As mentioned, protons are positively charged. So <u><em>the iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation</em></u>.

qaws [65]

Answer: through digested food

Explanation: cells get their sugar molecules from the food that is taken in by an organism. The food taken in is digested by the stomach into base materials like sugar, fatty acids and amino acids. These base materials are circulated through the blood till they get to the cells where they are needed.
