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 p_{o} must be equal to the final momentum p_{f}:  

p_{o}=p_{f} (1)  

Where:  

p_{o}=m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o} (2)  

p_{f}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f} (3)

m_{1}=110 kg is the mass of the first football player

V{o}=-7 m/s is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)

m_{2}=75 kg  is the mass of the second football player

U_{o}=4 m/s is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)

V_{f} 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):

m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f} (4)  

Isolating V_{f}:

V_{f}=\frac{m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}}{m_{1} + m_{2}} (5)

V_{f}=\frac{(110 kg)(-7 m/s) + (75 kg) (4 m/s)}{110 kg + 75 kg} (6)

V_{f}=-2.54 m/s (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 \Delta K is defined as:

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{f}^{2} - \frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{o}^{2} (8)

Simplifying:

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}(V_{f}^{2} - V_{o}^{2}) (9)

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} 110 kg((-2.5 m/s)^{2} - (-7 m/s)^{2}) (10)

Finally:

\Delta K=-2351.25 J (10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision

Write down the effect of humidity and temperature on the speed of sound.​
finlep [7]

Answer:

The speed of sound is affected by temperature and humidity. Because it is less dense, sound passes through hot air faster than it passes through cold air. ... The attenuation of sound in air is affected by the relative humidity. Dry air absorbs far more acoustical energy than does moist air.
