A 71.5 kg football player is gliding across very smooth ice at 2.00 m/s . He throws a 0.470 kg football straight forward. What i

s the player's speed afterward if the ball is thrown at 12.5 m/s relative to the ground? Express your answer with the appropriate units

Answer:

The player's speed is 1.93 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of football = 71.5 kg

Speed = 2.00 m/s

Mass of football = 0.470 Kg

Speed = 12.5 m/s

We need to calculate the initial momentum of the football player and ball

P_{i}=(m+m_{b})v_{i}

Put the value into the formula

P_{i}=(71.5+0.470)\times2.00

P_{i}=143.94\ kg-m/s

We need to calculate the final momentum of the system

P_{f}=mv+m_{b}v_{b}

Put the value into the formula

P_{f}=71.5\times v+0.470\times12.5

P_{f}=71.5\times v+5.875

We need to calculate the relative to the ground

Using conservation of momentum

P_{i}=P_{f}

Put the value into the formula

143.94=71.5\times v+5.875

v=\dfrac{143.94-5.875}{71.5}

v=1.93\ m/s

Hence, The player's speed is 1.93 m/s.

Suppose we have a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it trie
sammy [17]

Answer:

2.64 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it tries to get lunch. An unsuspecting 100 kilogram blue fin tuna is minding its own business swimming to the left at a speed of 0.5 meters traveled each second. GULP! After the great "yellow" shark "collides" with the blue fin tuna

Momentum = MV

Momentum of the yellow shark before collision = 600 × 3 = 1800 kgm/s

Momentum of the tun final before collision = 100 × 0.5 = 50 kgm/s

Total momentum before collision = 1800 + 50 = 1850 kgm/s

Let's assume that they move together after collision. Then,

1850 = ( 600 + 100 ) V

1850 = 700V

V = 1850 / 700

V = 2.64285 m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the shark after collision is 2.64 m/ s approximately

The position of a particle moving along the x axis varies in time according to the expression x = 4t 2, where x is in meters and
Pie

Answer:

a) X = 17.64 m

b) X = 17.64 + 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t

c) Velocity = lim(∆t→0)⁡〖∆X/∆t〗 = 16.8 m/s

Explanation:

a) The position at t = 2.10s is:  

                 X = 4t^2

                 X = 4(2.10)^2

                 X = 17.64 m

b) The position at t = 2.10 + ∆t s  will be:

                 X = 4(2.10 + ∆t)^2

                 X = 17.64 + 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t  m

c) ∆X is the difference between position at t = 2.10s and t = 2.10 + ∆t so,

                 ∆X= 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t

Divide by ∆t on both sides:  

                ∆X/∆t =  4∆t + 16.8

 Taking the limit as ∆t approaches to zero we get:  

              Velocity =lim(∆t→0)⁡〖∆X/∆t〗 = 4(0) + 16.8

              Velocity = 16.8 m/s

Region that contains the majority of molecules in the atmosphere
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Trophosphere

Explanation:

The troposphere is the atmospheric layer closest to the planet and is characterized because contains the largest percentage of the mass of the total atmosphere.

On special characteristic is that in this layer the temperature and water vapor content decrease a lot respect to the altitude. Also on this layer the Water vapor is important in order to regulate the air temperature since on this zone we have absorption of the solar energy.

The troposphere contains almost all the water vapor in the atmosphere. And specially on the tropics we have an accumulation of the water vapour.

All weather phenomena occur within the troposphere. Tropos means "change" and Troposphere means "region of mixing".

Above this layer, we have the tropopause, ranges in height from 5 miles near the poles up to 11 miles above the equator. And the height depends of the seasons, with an special characteristic: the is highest height occurs in the summer and lowest height occurs in the winter.

The troposphere contains almost 75% of the mass of the entire atmosphere. The air on this layer is composed by 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% is made of argon, water vapor, and carbon dioxide.

So for this reason this is the Region that contains the majority of molecules in the atmosphere.
