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

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C

direction is Horizontal

Explanation:

As we know that the string is horizontal here

so the tension force in the string is due to electrostatic force on it

now we will have

F = qE

so here the force is tension force on it

F = 6.57 \times 10^{-2} N

Q = 6.80 \times 10^3 C

now we have

6.57 \times 10^{-2} = (6.80 \times 10^3)E

E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C

direction is Horizontal

A car of mass 1500 kg is negotiating a flat circular curve of radius 50 m with a speed of 20 m/s.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The source of centripetal force on the car is  (3) the static friction force.

b. ac = v²/R = (20²)/50 = 8 m/s²

c.  Fc = m(ac) = 1500(8) = 12 kN

d. μ = Fc/N = Fc/mg = 12000 / 1500(9.8) = 0.8163... ≈ 0.82
