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

Does anyone know this?!
Valentin [98]

Answer:

2 is the numerical answer.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information and formula, it is possible for us to remember that equation for the calculation of the average kinetic energy of a gas is:

KE=\frac{3}{2} \frac{R}{N_A} T

Whereas R is the universal gas constant, NA the Avogadro's number and T the temperature.

Which means that for the given ratio, we can obtain the value as follows:

=\frac{\frac{3}{2} \frac{R}{N_A} T_1}{\frac{3}{2} \frac{R}{N_A} T_2} \\\\=\frac{T_1}{T_2} \\\\=\frac{500K}{250K} \\\\=2

Regards!
