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}

Coal and other fossil fuels are considered to be "nonrenewable" sources of energy. How does the use of nonrenewable fuels affect
nignag [31]

Answer: D Although the total energy remains constant, nonrenewable fuels convert chemical energy into forms that are difficult or impossible to use again.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.300 m and carries a current
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the wires attract each other , the direction of current will be same in both the wires .

Let I be current in wire which is along x - axis

force of attraction per unit length between the two current carrying wire is given by

\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}  x \frac{2 I_1\times I_2}{d}

where I₁ and I₂ are currents in the wires and d is distance between the two

Putting the given values

285 x 10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁷ x \frac{2\times25.5\times I_2}{.3}

I₂ = 16.76 A

Current in the wire along x axis is 16.76 A

To find point where magnetic field is zero due the these wires

The point will lie between the two wires  as current is in the same direction.

Let at y = y , the neutral point lies

k 2 x  \frac{16.76}{y} = k 2 x \frac{25.5}{.3-y}

25.5y = 16.76 x .3 - 16.76y

42.26 y = 5.028

y = .119

= .12 m

1. What is the potential energy of a 5.0-kg
babymother [125]

Answer:

  C.  98 J

Explanation:

The appropriate formula is ...

  PE = mgh . . . . . m is mass; below, m is meters

  PE = (5 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m) = 98 kg·m^2/s^2

  PE = 98 J
