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.

masha68 [24]

Answer:

5694000 min

Explanation:

Let's suppose the average American watches 4 hours of TV every day. First, we will calculate how many minutes they watch per day. We will use the conversion factor 1 h = 60 min.

(4 h/day) × (60 min/1 h) = 240 min/day

They watch 240 minutes of TV per day. Now, let's calculate how many minutes they watch per year. We will use the conversion factor 1 year = 365 day.

240 min/day × (365 day/year) = 87600 min/year

They watch 87600 min/year. Finally, let's calculate how many minutes they spend watching TV in 65 years.

87600 min/year × 65 year = 5694000 min
