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

Latent heat of fusion refers to which changes of state?
raketka [301]

The latent heat of fusion refers to the solid to liquid or liquid to solid states.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is known that the inter conversion process from the states of solid to liquid is referred as fusion. So, for these conversions, the external energy in the heat form should be supplied to solid.

This external energy should be greater than the latent heat of solid in order to successfully break the bonds to form liquid. So the change in the enthalpy of the reaction while conversion from solids to liquids are termed as latent heats of fusion.

Even the inter-conversion from liquid to solid state will undergo change in enthalpy where the heat will be released and that is termed as latent heats of solidification. It is found that latent heat of solidification is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction with the latent heats of fusion.

A thin, light wire 75.2 cm long having a circular cross section 0.560 mm in diameter has a 25.2 kg weight attached to it, causin
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The stress is calculated as 1.003\times 10^{9}\ Pa

Solution:

As per the question:

Length of the wire, l = 75.2 cm = 0.752 m

Diameter of the circular cross-section, d = 0.560 mm = 0.560\times 10^{- 3}\ m

Mass of the weight attached, m = 25.2 kg

Elongation in the wire, \Delta l = 1.10\ mm = 1.10\times 10^{- 3}\ m

Now,

The stress in the wire is given by:

Stress,\ \sigma = \frac{Force,\ F}{Area,\ A}          (1)

Now,

Force is due to the weight of the attached weight:

F = mg = 25.2\times 9.8 = 246.96\ N

Cross  sectional Area, A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2} = \pi (\frac{0.560\times 10^{- 3}}{2})^{2} = 2.46\times 10^{- 7}\ m^{2}

Using these values in eqn (1):

\sigma = \frac{246.96}{2.46\times 10^{- 7}} = 1.003\times 10^{9}\ Pa

Hi guys! pls help I asked this question almost 2 times and still didn't receive my answers.....Thanks in advance..
rjkz [21]

Answer:

1. Lateral inversion is a phenomenon in which left appears to be right and vice versa. It is due to direction that light follows when it strikes a reflecting surface, generally a mirror.

These are the letters which don't show lateral inversion A,H,O,T,U

2. USES OF CONCAVE MIRROR

They are used as shaving mirrors to see a larger image of the face.

Dentists use concave mirrors to view large images of the teeth of the patients.

USES OF CONVEX MIRROR

It is is used as a rear view mirror in vehicles.

It is used as a vigilance mirror.

Consider the following neutral electron configurations in which n has a constant value. Which configuration would belong to the
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

he configuration with the highest electronic affinity is 2s2 2p5

Explanation:

Electronic affinity is the variation of energy when we add an electron to a neutral atom to form an ion

When an electron is added, it must occupy a space is the sub-level of the atom, giving more stability when it approaches the configuration of a complete shell with eight electrons (noble gas), so the affinity must increase when moving in a period Group VIII noble gases)

Let's examine the given settings

In this case, when adding an electron, 2s2 is very far from a complete level configuration, so its affinity must be small.

2s2 2p2 when adding an electro the one has a little more affinity, but is still a long way from a full shell, it would be missing 3 electrons

2s2 2sp5 this is the atom with the highest electronic affinity, since i = that when adding an electron the ion has the configuration of a noble gas. This is the most stable on the list

2s2 2p6 already has a full shell making it very difficult to insert an electron into this atom.

In summary, the configuration with the highest electronic affinity is 2s2 2p5
