Answer:

The initial speed of the linebacker just before the collision was 4.6 m/s.

Explanation:

Mass of OSU linebacker, m = 110 kg

Mass of UM quarterback, m' = 85 kg

Just after they collide, they are momentarily stuck together, the common speed is, V = 2.6 m/s

Initial speed of quarterback is 0 as it was at rest initially, u' = 0

Let u was the initial speed of the linebacker just before the collision. As they struck together, the momentum remains conserved. So,

mu+m'u'=(m+m')V\\\\mu=(m+m')V\\\\u=\dfrac{(m+m')V}{m}\\\\u=\dfrac{(110+85)\times 2.6}{110}\\\\u=4.6\ m/s

So, the initial speed of the linebacker just before the collision was 4.6 m/s.

An 80-kgkg quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43-kgkg football horizontally at 15 m/sm/s . How f
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

V = 0.0806 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass quarterback = 80 kg

mass football = 0.43 kg

velocity = 15 m/s

solution

we consider here momentum conservation is in horizontal direction.

so that here no initial momentum of the quarterback

so that final momentum of the system will be 0

so we can say

M(quarterback) ×  V = m(football) × v (football)   ........................1

put here value we get

80 ×  V  = 0.43  × 15

V = 0.0806 m/s

A ball is shot from the ground into the air. At a height of 8.8 m, the velocity is observed to be
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

h = 10.4 m

R = 22.48 m

v= 16,2 m/s , α = 61.7°, below the horizontal

v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)

Explanation:

The ball describes a parabolic path, and the equations of the movement are:

Equation of the uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) :

x = vx*t  :

Equations of the uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward   (vertical ).

y = (v₀y)*t - (1/2)*g*t² Equation (2)

vfy² = v₀y² -2gy Equation (3)

vfy = v₀y -gt Equation (4)

Where:  

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity  in m  

y: vertical position in meters (m)  

v₀y: initial  vertical velocity  in m/s  

vfy: final  vertical velocity  in m/s  

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Known data

y= 8.8 m

v = ( (7.7)i + (5.7)j  ) m/s : vx= 7.7 m/s , vy= 5.7 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

Calculation of the  initial  vertical velocity ( v₀y)

We apply Equation (3) with the known data

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y

(5.7)² = (v₀y)²- (2)*(9.8)*(8.8)

(5.7)²+ 172.48 =  (v₀y)²

v_{oy} = \sqrt{(5.7)^{2}+ 172.48 }

v₀y = 14.3 m/s

Calculation of the maximum height  the ball rise (h)

In the maximum height vfy=0

We apply the Equation (3) :

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y

0 = (14.3)² - 2*98*h

h = (14.3)² / 19.6

h = 10.4 m

Calculation of the time it takes for the ball to the maximum height

We apply the Equation (4) :

vfy = v₀y -gt

0 = v₀y -gt

gt = v₀y

t = v₀y/g

t = 14.3/9.8

t= 1.46 s

Flight time = 2t = 2.92 s

Total horizontal distance traveled by the ball  (R)

We replace data in the equation (1)

x =vx*t    vx= 7.7 m/s , t =2.92 s  (Flight time)

R = (7.7)* (2.92) = 22.48 m

Velocity of the ball (magnitude (v) and direction (α)) the instant before it hits the ground

vx = 7.7 m/s

vy = v₀y -gt = 14.3 - 9.8* (2.92) = -14.3 m/s

v= \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}  }

v= \sqrt{(7.7)^{2}+ (-14.3)^{2}  }

v= 16,2 m/s

\alpha = tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x} })

\alpha = tan^{-1} (\frac{-14.3 }{7.7 })

α = -61.7°

α = 61.7°, below the horizontal

i- j components of the v

v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)

A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. At one instant, its electric field has a magnitude of 9.6 V/m and points eastwar
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The values is  B  = 3.2 *10^{-8} \  T

The  direction is out of the plane

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  magnitude of the electric field is  E  =  9.6 \  V/m

 

The  magnitude of the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

       B  = \frac{E}{c}

where c is the speed of light with value

      B  = \frac{ 9.6}{3.0 *10^{8}}

     B  = 3.2 *10^{-8} \  T

Given that the direction off the electromagnetic wave( c ) is  northward(y-plane ) and  the electric field(E) is eastward(x-plane ) then the magnetic field will be acting in the out of the page  (z-plane  )

A 2-kg wheel rolls down the road with a linear speed of 15m/s. Find its trwansitional and rotational kinetic energies.​
Elza [17]

Answer:

The translational kinetic energy is 225 J

The rotational kinetic energy is 225 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the wheel, m = 2-kg

linear speed of the wheel, v = 15 m/s

Transnational kinetic energy is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂MV²

where;

M is mass of the moving object

V is the velocity of the object

E =  ¹/₂ x 2 x (15)²

E = 225 J

Rotational kinetic energy is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂Iω²

where;

I is moment of inertia

ω is angular velocity

E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} *mr^2*(\frac{v}{r})^2\\\\E =  \frac{1}{2} *mr^2*\frac{v^2}{r^2} \\\\E =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2

E =  ¹/₂ x 2 x (15)²

E = 225 J

Thus, the translational kinetic energy is equal to rotational kinetic energy

A 3.00 μF capacitor is charged to 480 V and a 4.00 μF capacitor is charged to 500 V . Part A These capacitors are then disconnec
pogonyaev

Q before connected = Q after connected C1V1+C2V2 = (C1+C2) V

C1= 3×10^-6 F

V1= 480v

C2= 4×10^-6 F

V2= 500v

(3×10^-6)×(480) + (4×10^-6)×(500) = (3×10^-6 + 4×10^-6) × V

Simplifying the above, we get:

( 1440× 10^-6) + (2000 ×10^-6) = (7 × 10^-6) × V.

Further simplified as:

3440 × 10^-6 = 7 × 10^-6 × V

Making V the subject

V = 491.43volts

Therefore the potential difference across each capacitor is 491.43v
