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

6. A lumberjack is standing on a log floating on a lake. She starts from rest, then runs along the log to the end, when she jump
scoray [572]

Answer:

a) -3.267 m/s

b) 2.227 m/s

Explanation:

As per the conservation of momentum

m1v1 + m2v2=0

m1= mass of log

m2 = mass of lumber jack

v1 = velocity of log

v2 = velocity of lumber jack

a) Velocity of first log

-\frac{70*7}{150} = -3.267 m/s

b) m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3

Velocity of log

= \frac{70*7}{150+70} \\2.227

A woman exerts a horizontal force of 4 pounds on a box as she pushes it up a ramp that is 10 feet long and inclined at an angle
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Explanation:

given,

Horizontal force = 4 lb

distance of push, d = 10 ft

angle of ramp, θ = 30°

Work done on the box = ?

We know,

W = F.d cos θ

W = 4 x 10 x cos 30°

W = 40 x 0.8660

W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Hence, work done on the box is equal to W = 34.64 ft-lbs

How should the student use the data collected and the known quantities from the experiment to determine the initial total mechan
fiasKO [112]

It should be noted that the student should use K = 1/2mv² with the initial speed of the block for one trial.

<h3>Method of using the data collected.</h3>

From the complete information, the student wants to use the data collected and the known quantities from the experiment to determine the initial total mechanical energy of the block-ramp-Earth system for all trials in the experiment.

In this case, it's important to use K = 1/2mv² with the block's initial speed for one trial due to the fact that the initial speed is the same in all the trials.
