The mass of the quarterback is 61.2 kg.

Explanation:

mass of the football player = m1 = 102 kg

mass of the quarterback = m2 = ?

velocity of the football player = v1 = 8 m/s

According to the law of conservation of momentum:

The total momentum of a system before and after the collision remains constant. Assuming the situation as an isolated system which is not affected by any external factors, we have:

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁+m₂)V

Here, we need to find m₂.

We assume that the quarterback is standing still when he is attacked by the football player so v₂ = 0 m/s

After the collision both of them fall to the ground with a velocity of 5 m/s so V = 5 m/s

$102(8) + m2(0) = (102 + m2)(5)\\816 + 0 = (102 + m2)(5)\\816/5 = 102 + m2\\163.2 - 102 = m2\\m2 = 61.2 kg$

The vapor pressure of diethyl ether (ether) is 463.57 mm Hg at 25°C. How many grams of chlorophyll, C55H72MgN4O5, a nonvolatile,

mixer [17]

Answer:

29.4855 grams of chlorophyll

Explanation:

From Raoult's law

Mole fraction of solvent = vapor pressure of solution ÷ vapor pressure of solvent = 457.45 mmHg ÷ 463.57 mmHg = 0.987

Mass of solvent (diethyl ether) = 187.4 g

MW of diethyl ether (C2H5OC2H5) = 74 g/mol

Number of moles of solvent = mass/MW = 187.4/74 = 2.532 mol

Let the moles of solute (chlorophyll) be y

Total moles of solution = moles of solute + moles of solvent = (y + 2.532) mol

Mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent/total moles of solution

0.987 = 2.532/(y + 2.532)

y + 2.532 = 2.532/0.987

y + 2.532 = 2.565

y = 2.565 - 2.532 = 0.033

Moles of solute (chlorophyll) = 0.033 mol

Mass of chlorophyll = moles of chlorophyll × MW = 0.033 × 893.5 = 29.4855 grams

How are scientists monitoring and studying the effects on the herring?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:In the decades prior to 1993 there was a robust Pacific herring population in Prince William Sound (PWS). Not only are these forage fish a key link in the complex food web of PWS, but they supported a lucrative early-season commercial fishery that brought the communities of the Sound to life each spring. By 1994, that fishery was closed and only briefly reopened for two years in the late 1990s. The current, approximately 10,000-ton biomass, is tiny compared to the peak value of 130,000 tons or the long-term average prior to the collapse of around 65,000 ton.

Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor by the boy standing on both feet if the weight of the boy is 40kg. Assume that the a

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

P = 1333.33 N

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by the boy on the floor can be calculated by the following equation:

$P = \frac{F}{A}$

where,

P = Pressure exerted by the boy = ?

F = Force Applied = Weight of Boy = 40 kg = 40 N (since 1 kg = 1N)

A = Area of application of force = 2(Area of one show) = 2(6 cm x 25 cm)

A = 2(0.06 m x 0.25 m) = 0.03 m²

Therefore,

$P = \frac{40\ N}{0.03\ m^2}\\\\$
