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
must be equal to the final momentum
:
(1)
Where:
(2)
(3)
is the mass of the first football player
is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)
is the mass of the second football player
is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)
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):
(4)
Isolating
:
(5)
(6)
(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
is defined as:
(8)
Simplifying:
(9)
(10)
Finally:
(10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision
Answer:
Hyoid
Explanation:
The hyoid is located in the neck area, not the limbs.
A lodestone is a naturally magnetized piece of the mineral magnetite. They are naturally occurring magnets, which can attract iron. The property of magnetism was first discovered in antiquity through lodestones.
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.
