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! ☺️

An 1,840 W toaster, a 1,460 W electric frying pan, and a 50 W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15 A, 120 V circuit. (T

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Power drawn by toaster $P_1=1840\ W$

Power drawn by Electric fan $P_2=1460\ W$

Power drawn by lamp $P_3=50\ W$

Voltage applied $V=120\ V$

If appliances are applied in parallel then Voltage applied is same

Power is given by $P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

Resistance of toaster $R_1=\frac{120^2}{1840}=7.82\ \Omega$

Resistance of electric Fan $R_2=\frac{120^2}{1460}=9.86\ \Omega$

Resistance of toaster $R_3=\frac{120^2}{50}=288\ \Omega$

Current is given by

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

$I_1=\frac{120}{7.82}=15.34\ A$

$I_2=\frac{120}{9.86}=12.17\ A$

$I_3=\frac{120}{288}=0.416\ A$

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

142.296 Nm.

Explanation:

Torque: This is the force that tend to cause a body to rotate or twist. The S.I unit of torque is Nm.

From the question,

T = F×r.................... Equation 1

Where T = Torque, F = Force, r = radius of the circle.

Note: F is the weight of the bicyclist.

Then,

F = W = mg............... Equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

T = mgr................... Equation 3

Given: m = 88 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², r = 0.33/2 m

T = 88(9.8)(0.33)/2

T = 142.296 Nm.

Andrew [12]

Answer: Speeding Up

Explanation:

Force is proportional to the acceleration of an object. The greater the force, the more acceleration will be produced.

When the force on the tire is equal to the weight of the car, the car is reaching a stability as a result of increase in motion.

But when the force of the load on the tire is quite large(most likely several times the weight of the car) and is directed forward, then, the car is at high speed.
