Their velocity afterward is  v=3.467 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the first football player= 91.5 kg

Initial velocity of the football player 3.73 m/s

Mass of second football player=63.56 kg

Initial velocity of the second football player=3.09 m/s

To find:

Final velocity of both players=?

Solution:

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

Initial momentum =final momentum

mathematically represented as  

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2...........................(1)

where

u_1=intial velocity of the football player

u_2 = inital velocity of second football player

v_1=finall velocity of the  first football player

v_2=final velocity of second football player

after tackling , both the football players moves with the same velocity,

so v_1=v_2=v

Hence equation (1) becomes

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

now substituting the values,

v=\frac{(91.5\times+3.73)+(63.5\times3.09)}{(91.5+63.5)}v=\frac{(341.29+196.210)}{155}

v=\frac{537.5}{155}

v=3.467 m/s

Under what conditions can an object have forces acting on it, but its motion does not change ?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: An object at rest has zero velocity - and (in the absence of an unbalanced force) will remain with a zero velocity. Such an object will not change its state of motion.

Calculate the fraction of methyl isonitrile molecules that have an energy of 160.0 kJ or greater at 510 K .
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}

Explanation:

E_a = Activation energy = 160 kJ

T = Temperature = 510 K

R = Universal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

The fraction of energy is given by

f=e^{-\dfrac{E_a}{RT}}\\\Rightarrow f=e^{-\dfrac{160000}{8.314\times 510}}\\\Rightarrow f=4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}

The fraction of energy is 4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}

Una pelota de béisbol de 142g de masa, luego de ser arrojada por el pitcher lleva una velocidad de 90mph. Luego de ser bateada s
V125BC [204]

Answer:

a)    I = 13.38 kg m / s, b)    F = 1,373 10³ N

Explanation:

The impulse is given by the relation

          I = ∫ F dt = Δp

          I = p_f -p₀

          I = m (v_f - v₀)

take the ball's exit direction as positive, whereby the ball velocities

v₀ = -90mph, the final velocity v_f = + 54 m / s

Let's reduce the units to

         I = 0.142 [54- (-40.23) ]

      the SI system

        v₀ = - 90 mph (1609.34 m / 1 mile) (1h / 3600 s = -40.23 m / s

        m = 142 g (1kg / 1000) = 0.142 kg

we calculate  

          I = 0.142 [54- (-40) ]

          I = 13.38 kg m / s

b) let's use the definition of momentum

         I = ∫ F .dt

         I = F ∫ dt

         F = I / t

         F = 13.38 / 0.008

         F = 1,373 10³ N
