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
The electric field at one corner of a square is 1614217 N/C.
Explanation:
The distance between x and y direction diagonals.
As per the given details the distance between diagonals is calculated as
0.5² + 0.5² = c² => c = 0.707 m
Charge to the right: In x direction
In order to find the electric charge towards x direction
we use e = kq/r² formula
As 'k' is coulomb's constant it's value is 9 x N m²/C²
e = (9 x )(250 x
) / (0.5)²
e = 9 x N/C
Charge diagonal:
e = kq/r²
e = [(9 x )(250 x
) / (0.707)²] cos 45
e = 225000√2 N/C
X direction sum = 1218198 N/C.
Similarly as shown in x direction the charge is same for y direction also
Charge below: For y direction
e = kq/r²
e = (9 x )(250 x
) / (0.5)²
e = 9 x N/C
Charge diagonal:
e = kq/r²
e = [(9 x )(250 x
) / (0.5)²] sin 45
e = 159099 N/C
Y direction sum = 1059099 N/C
Resultant electric field strength:
1218198 ² + 1059099² = e²
e = 1614217 N/C [45 degrees below the horizontal]
