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

An elevator is being lowered at steadily decreasing speed by a steel cable attached to an electric motor. There is no air resist
shtirl [24]

Answer:

F = W + ma  a> 0

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

 we assume the upward direction as positive

          F - W = m a

          F = W + ma

          F = m (g + a)

In this case they indicate that the speed is less and less as it goes down, therefore the acceleration must be opposite to the speed, that is, the acceleration is upwards, consequently it is positive

               

We can see that since a> 0 the force F must have greater than the weight of the elevator

A model rocket blasts off from the ground, rising straight upward with a constant acceleration that has a magnitude of 86.0 m/s2
Harman [31]
<span>When the fuel  of the rocket is consumed, the acceleration would be zero. However, at this phase the rocket would still be going up until all the forces of gravity would dominate and change the direction of the rocket. We need to calculate two distances, one from the ground until the point where the fuel is consumed and from that point to the point where the gravity would change the direction. 

Given:
a = 86 m/s^2 
t = 1.7 s

Solution:

d = vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2) 
d = (0) (1.7) + 0.5 (86) (1.7)^2 
d = 124.27 m 

vf = vi + at 
vf = 0 + 86 (1.7) 
vf = 146.2 m/s (velocity when the fuel is consumed completely) 

Then, we calculate the time it takes until it reaches the maximum height.
vf = vi + at 
0 = 146.2 + (-9.8) (t) 
t = 14.92 s

Then, the second distance
d= vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2) 
d = 146.2 (14.92) + 0.5 (-9.8) (14.92^2) 
d = 1090.53  m

Then, we determine the maximum altitude:
 d1 + d2 = 124.27 m + 1090.53 m = 1214.8 m</span>

A net force of 125 n is applied to a certain object. as a result, the object accelerates with an acceleration of 24.0 m/s2. the
pantera1 [17]
Newton's second law states that Fnet = ma, where Fnet is the net force applied, m is the mass of the object, and a is the object's acceleration. You have the values for Fnet and a, so you simply use this equation to solve for m, mass.
