A football player, with a mass of 69.0 kg, slides on the ground after being knocked down. At the start of the slide, the player

moves at a speed of 3.70 m/s before coming to rest. The coefficient of friction between the player and the ground is 0.700.
a) Find the change in mechanical energy of the player (in J) from the start of the slide to when he comes to rest.
b) How far (in m) does the player slide?

Answer:

(a) -472.305  J

(b) 1 m

Explanation:

(a)

Change in mechanical energy equals change in kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is given by0.5mv^{2}

Initial kinetic energy is 0.5\times 69\times 3.7^{2}=472.305 J

Since he finally comes to rest, final kinetic energy is zero because the final velocity is zero

Change in kinetic energy is given by final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy hence

0-472.305  J=-472.305  J

(b)

From fundamental kinematic equation

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

Where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, a is acceleration, s is distance

Making s the subject we obtain

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2a} but a=\mu g hence

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2\mu g}=\frac {0^{2}-3.7^{2}}{-2*0.7*9.81}=0.996796272\approx 1 m

When a gun is fired at the shooting range, the gun recoils (moves backward). Explain this using the law of conservation of momen
12345 [234]
The total momentum is unchanged according to the law of conservation of momentum. When the gun is fired, the bullet gains a high velocity forward (positive velocity), and that velocity multiplied by its mass is the momentum the bullet gains. Therefore, the gun must gain a momentum backwards to cancel out that momentum forward, so the gun recoils back with a negative velocity.

The sound intensity at a distance 2.00 m from a sound source is 5.00 Find the total sound energy emitted by the source in each s
notka56 [123]

Answer:

     P = 251, 3 W

Explanation:

The intensity is defined as the power emitted per unit area

           I = P / A

Since sound is distributed in all directions spherical shape, the area of ​​a sphere is

           A = 4π r²

let's clear the power and replace

         P = I A

         P = I (4π r²)

let's calculate

         P = 5.00 (4π 2²)

         P = 251, 3 W
