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}

In one sentence describe how the electricity in an action potential is generated
vova2212 [387]

Due to influx of potassium ions, electricity is generated in axon of a neuron.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Axon membrane is the semi permeable membrane that is full of potassium and sodium channels. There’s also Sodium Potassium ATPase pumps. When there’s an impulse coming through the synapse, the potassium channels open. This leads to influx of sodium from outside the membrane to inside it. Then the membrane becomes positive.

Then the electricity is generated and its conducted from one part to another. After the impulse is conducted, the sodium potassium pumps come in action which transports 3 sodium inside and 2 potassium outside in consumption to an ATP.

A skydiver falls out of a plane from rest, and experiences no air resistance. Eventually, this skydiver reaches a velocity of 33
shusha [124]

Answer:

the time taken for the motion is 3.37 s

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the skydiver, u = 0

final velocity of the skydiver, v = 33 m/s

The time taken for the motion is calculated as;

v = u + gt

33 = 0 + 9.8t

33 = 9.8t

t = 33 / 9.8

t = 3.37 s

Therefore, the time taken for the motion is 3.37 s

Water flows from the bottom of a storage tank at a rate of r(t) = 300 − 6t liters per minute, where 0 ≤ t ≤ 50. Find the amount
SSSSS [86.1K]

r(t) models the water flow rate, so the total amount of water that has flowed out of the tank can be calculated by integrating r(t) with respect to time t on the interval t = [0, 35]min

∫r(t)dt, t = [0, 35]

= ∫(300-6t)dt, t = [0, 35]

= 300t-3t², t = [0, 35]

= 300(35) - 3(35)² - 300(0) + 3(0)²

= 6825 liters
