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! ☺️

You wish to cool a 1.83 kg block of tin initially at 88.0°C to a temperature of 57.0°C by placing it in a container of kerosene

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.

Explanation:

The minimum boiling point of kerosene is $150\,^{\circ}C$ . According to this question, we need to determine the minimum volume of liquid such that heat received is entirely sensible, that is, with no phase change.

If we consider a steady state process and that energy interactions with surrounding are negligible, then we get the following formula by the Principle of Energy Conservation:

$\rho_{k}\cdot V_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o}) = m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T)$ (1)

Where:

$\rho_{k}$ - Density of kerosene, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$V_{k}$ - Volume of kerosene, measured in cubic meters.

$c_{k}$ , $c_{t}$ - Specific heats of the kerosene and tin, measured in joule per kilogram-Celsius.

$T_{k,o}$ , $T_{t,o}$ - Initial temperatures of kerosene and tin, measured in degrees Celsius.

$T$ - Final temperatures of the kerosene-tin system, measured in degrees Celsius.

Please notice that the block of tin is cooled at the expense of the temperature of the kerosene until thermal equilibrium is reached.

From (1), we clear the volume of kerosene:

$V_{k} = \frac{m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T)}{\rho_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o})}$

If we know that $m_{t} = 1.83\,kg$ , $c_{t} = 218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , $T_{t,o} = 88\,^{\circ}C$ , $T_{k,o} = 24.0\,^{\circ}C$ , $T = 57\,^{\circ}C$ , $c_{k} = 2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ and $\rho_{k} = 820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , then the volume of the liquid needed to accomplish this task without boiling is:

$V_{k} = \frac{(1.83\,kg)\cdot \left(218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (88\,^{\circ}C-57\,^{\circ}C)}{\left(820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (57\,^{\circ}C-24\,^{\circ}C)}$

$V_{k} = 2.273\times 10^{-4}\,m^{3}$

$V_{k} = 0.273\,L$

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.

[High Dive) above a pool of water. According to the announcer, the divers enter the water at a speed of 56 mi/h (25 m/s). (Air r

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

(a) The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b) it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/s if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s. The upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained

Explanation:

(a)

To find the final velocity $V_{f}$ for an object traveling distance h taking the initial vertical component of velocity as $V_{i}$ the kinematics equation is written as
