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}

Which of the following statements is/are true?Check all that apply.a. A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

a). A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

TRUE

Because there is no energy loss in presence of conservative forces so energy conversion in two ways are possible.

b). A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

TRUE

negative gradient of potential energy is equal to conservative force

F = -\frac{dU}{dr}

c). A non-conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

FALSE

here energy is lost against non-conservative forces

d). The work done by a conservative force depends on the path taken.

FALSE

work done by conservative force is independent of path

e). The work done by a non-conservative force depends on the path taken.

TRUE

work done by non conservative forces depends on path.

f). A potential energy function can be specified for a non-conservative force.

FALSE

It is not defined for non conservative forces
