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}

<h2>The temperature of the air is 66.8° C</h2>

Explanation:

From the Newton's  velocity of sound relationship , the velocity of sound is directly proportional to the square root of temperature .

In this case The velocity of sound = frequency x wavelength

= 798 x 0.48 = 383 m/sec

Suppose the temperature at this time = T K

Thus 383 ∝ \sqrt{T}                       I

The velocity of sound is 329 m/s at 273 K ( given )

Thus 329 ∝ \sqrt{273}                   II

Dividing I by II , we have

\frac{383}{329} = \sqrt{\frac{T}{273} }

or \frac{T}{273} = 1.25

and T = 339.8 K  = 66.8° C

A vat of nitrogen at its boiling point (-196 degrees C) absorbs 384000 J of heat. How much mass of nitrogen burns off? (Unit = k
masya89 [10]

Answer:

1.92 kg of nitrogen.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Heat absorbed (Q) = 384000 J

Note: Heat of vaporisation (ΔHv) of nitrogen = 5600 J/mol

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of nitrogen that absorbed 384000 J.

This is illustrated below:

Q = mol·ΔHv

384000 = mole of N2 x 5600

Divide both side by 5600

Mole of N2 = 384000/5600

Mole of N2 = 68.57 moles

Next, we shall convert 68.57 moles of nitrogen, N2 to grams.

This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of N2 = 2 x 14 = 28 g/mol.

Mole of N2 = 68.57 moles.

Mass of N2 =..?

Mole = mass /molar mass

68.57 = mass of N2 /28

Cross multiply

Mass of N2 = 68.57 x 28

Mass of N2 = 1919.96 g

Finally, we shall convert 1919.96 g to kilograms.

This can be achieved as shown below:

1000g = 1 kg

Therefore,

1919.96 g = 1919.96/1000 = 1.92 kg.

Therefore, 1.92 kg of nitrogen were burned off.

Radio telescopes beam radio waves into space. To calculate the speed of the radio waves in space, which information, if any, is
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

No more information is needed

Explanation:

Radio waves are electromagnetic energy, lower frequency forms of this type of energy that includes light and cosmic rays on the high frequency end that we are able to detect. So in free space (vacuum), radio waves travel at their fastest velocity, the “speed of light”. The reason for the quotation marks is because when light or radio waves are propagating through matter, we observe them traveling more slowly.
