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}

How do you do this? I know that the Density equation is D=m/v but these are in kilograms and Liters...so do I convert it to gram
BARSIC [14]

Explanation:

The problem doesn't specify that the units have to be g/mL, so you can calculate the density in kg/L without converting the mass or volume.

Just make sure that either way, you write the units.

the SI and CGS unit of force are newton and dyne respectively haow many dynes are equal to one newton​
Triss [41]

Answer:

For example, the CGS unit of force is the dyne, which is defined as 1 g⋅cm/s2, so the SI unit of force, the newton (1 kg⋅m/s2), is equal to 100000 dynes.

MrRa [10]

Answer:

18.6012339739 A

Explanation:

\mu_0 = Vacuum permeability = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m

L = Length of wire = 55 cm

N = Number of turns = 4000

I = Current

Magnetic field is given by

B=\dfrac{\mu_0NI}{L}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{BL}{\mu_0N}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{0.17\times 0.55}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 4000}\\\Rightarrow I=18.6012339739\ A

The current necessary to produce this field is 18.6012339739 A
