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}

Planet x has a mass of 4x1022 kg and a radius of 6x105 m What lise the grav ritational field strength in the surface of planet X
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

  g ≈ 7.4 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on planet XX is ...

  g = GM/r² = (6.67·10^-11 × 4·10^22)/(6·10^5)^2

  g ≈ 7.4 m/s²

Differences between looping and simersaulting​
Anika [276]
Somersaulting- for longer distances.It bends the narrow end in the direction it wants to go & takes grip with tentacles. It releases the broad end and straightens up. like this it continues. looping- for shorter distances.

When temperature decreases but actual water vapor content remains the same, what happens to relative humidity?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

d. Relative humidity increases.

Explanation:

The expression of relative humidity in terms of absolute humidity, absolute pressure and saturation pression at measured temperature is:

\phi = \frac{\omega \cdot P}{(0.622+\omega)\cdot P_{sat}}

When temperature decreases, the saturation pressure decreases also and, consequently, relative humidity increases. Therefore, the right answer is option D.
