Define momentum in terms of football.

1 answer:

7 0

The law of conservation of momentum basically means that energy is always conserved and never lost when a collision happens.

Using the formula p=mv ...
Player A would have a momentum of 220 N•S
Player B would have a momentum of 0 because he is not moving

After the collision, the total momentum is still 220 N•S because energy is never lost, but now player A is at 0 and player B took his momentum. Think about it this way, if you bumped into something that wasn’t moving, it would fall and you most likely wouldn’t keep moving.

Elastic collisions are where the objects bounce each other and in inelastic collisions they stick together. I don’t watch much football but if you do this should make sense.
If the players fall down together (they tackle each other and fall? I think) it should be inelastic.

Sorry if this was long and confusing but I really hope this helps! ☺️

Answer:

Comparison Microscope

Explanation:

The Comparison Microscope allows for comparison between two objects or samples by placing them side by side.

It is primarily used in criminology for ballistics which makes it ideal to find out if bullets, shells, or cartridge cases were fired from a specific weapon.

According to a college survey, 22% of all students work full time. find the mean for the number of 3) students who work full tim

Assuming that the students worldwide are being considered, because of the extremely large population, this can be considered as a binomial distribution. A normal distribution is used most usually as a fair approximation of the binomial. The mean is the expectation, therefore:<span>
E[x] = np = (16)(0.22) = 3.52

If you pull horizontally on a desk with a force of 150 N and the desk doesn't move, the friction force must be 150 N. Now if you

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The friction force is 250 N

Explanation:

The desk is moving at constant velocity. This means that its acceleration is zero: a = 0. Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the desk is equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

$\sum F=ma$

In this case, we know that the acceleration is zero: a = 0, so also the resultant of the forces must be zero:

$\sum F = 0$ (1)

We are only interested in the forces acting along the horizontal direction, since it is the direction of motion. There are two forces acting in this direction:

- the pull, forward, F = 250 N

- the friction force, backward, $F_f$
