A 110 kg quarterback is running the ball downfield at 4.5 m/s in the positive direction when he is tackled head-on by a 150 kg l

inebacker moving at -3.8 m/s. Assume the collision is completely inelastic. What is the velocity of the players just after the tackle?

Answer:

v_f=-0.29\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of momentum, states that if the sum of the forces acting on a system is null, the initial total momentum of the system before a collision equals the final total momentum of the system after the collision. The collision is completely inelastic, which means that the players remain stick to each other after the collision:

p_i=p_f\\m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f\\v_f=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\v_f=\frac{(110kg)4.5\frac{m}{s}+150kg(-3.8\frac{m}{s})}{(110kg+150kg)}\\v_f=-0.29\frac{m}{s}

I was in Anchorage Alaska during the Summer Solstice. The sun rose around 3am and set around 1 am the next day-- almost 24 hours
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Daylight hours would be shorter.

Explanation:

If there were no tilt of the axis at all, every place on the planet except the north and south poles would have 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night every day of the year.

At a 10° tilt, the arctic circle and antarctic circles would be a little less than half the distance from the poles as they are today.

What is deceleration?????<br><br>Have a nice day​
Rufina [12.5K]
Deceleration—the ability to slow down and control force production—is often ignored during training; but deceleration technique is critical for most sports. Speed is often the factor that separates the elite from the average athlete. Credit source is stack.com have a nice day! I told you it was from the internet in case you couldn’t use the internet Hope this helped :)!

At a particular instant, a hot air balloon is 100 m in the air and descending at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s. at this exact inst
rewona [7]

Answer:

86.4 m  horizontal from landing spot

Explanation:

Find out how long before the ball hits the ground

 vertical speed  of ball = -2  m/s     gravity = - 9.81 m/s^2

find time to hit ground from 100 m  

          ( height will be<u> zero</u> when it hits the ground)

<u>0 </u>=  100  - 2 t  - 1/2 ( 9.81) t^2

        use Quadratic Formula to find t = 4.32 seconds

              horizontal speed of ball = 20 m/s  

in 4.32 seconds it will travel horizontally   20  m/s * 4.32 s = 86.4 m
