In a football game, a receiver is standing still, having just caught a pass. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocit

y of +3.1 m/s, grabs him. The tackler holds onto the receiver, and the two move off together with a velocity of +1.6 m/s. The mass of the tackler is 115 kg. Assuming that momentum is conserved, find the mass of the receiver.

Answer:

m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg    

Explanation:

The football players collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V=1.6m/s.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision, at the initial point the receiver does not have any speed

m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}=(m_{tackler}+m_{receiver})V     (1)

We solve in order to find the receiver mass:

m_{receiver}={m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}/V}-m_{tackler}    

m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg

Molodets [167]
The answer to your question is B- They both described the inner part otherwise known as the inner core.

The inner core is hotter than the surface of the sun. The inner core is made out of iron and nickel.  The inner core is extremely hot and is the last layer.  It is a solid because of all the pressure from the other layers putting there weight onto this layer.

What tension would you need to make a middle c (261.6 hz) fundamental mode on a 1 m string (for example, on a harp)? the linear
Allisa [31]
The frequency of middle C on a string is
f = 261.6 Hz.

The given linear density is
ρ = 0.02 g/cm = (0.02 x 10⁻³ kg)/(10⁻² m)
   = 0.002 kg/m

The length of the string is L = 1 m.

Let T =  the tension in the string (N).
The velocity of the standing wave is
v= \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\rho} }

In the fundamental mode, the wavelength, λ, is equal to the length, L.
That is
Because v = fλ, therefore
\sqrt{ \frac{T}{\rho} } =f \lambda = fL \\\\ \frac{T}{\rho} = (fL)^{2} \\\\ T = \rho (fL)^{2}

From given information, obtain
T = (0.002 kg/m)*(261.6 1/s)²*(1 m)²
   = 136.87 N

Answer: 136.9 N (nearest tenth)

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

0.22 m

Explanation:

m = 0.43 kg, K = 561 N/m

Vmax = 8 m/s

Let the amplitude of the oscillations be A.

The formula for the angular frequency of oscillation sis given by

\omega  = \sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}

\omega  = \sqrt{\frac{561}{0.43}}

ω = 36.1 rad/s

The formula for the maximum velocity is given by

Vmax = ω x A

A = Vmax / ω

A = 8 / 36.1 = 0.22 m
