In a football game, one team kicks off to the other. At the moment the receiver catches the ball, he is 40 yards from the neares

t tackler. The receiver runs left to right at a speed of 10 yards per second (10 y/s). The tackler runs right to left at a speed of 6 yards per second.
How long does it take before they collide? _____

How far does the receiver go? _____________________

Answer:

Part a)

$\delta t = 2.5 s$

Part b)

$d = 25 yards$

Explanation:

Speed of the receiver is 10 yards per second towards right

Speed of the tackler is 6 yards per second towards left

So here we have net relative speed of the two towards each other is given as

$v_{12} = v_1 - v_2$

$v_{12} = 10 - (-6) = 16 yards/s$

now we know that the distance between receiver and tackler initially is 40 Yards

Part a)

so the time taken by two to collide is given as

$\delta t = \frac{\Delta x}{v}$

$\delta t = \frac{40}{16}$

$\delta t = 2.5 s$

Part b)

Distance moved by the receiver in t = 2.5 s

$d = vt$

$d = 10 (2.5)$

$d = 25 yards$

A 78.5-kg man floats in freshwater with 3.2% of his volume above water when his lungs are empty, and 4.85% of his volume above w

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

A) V_air = 1.295 L

B) Volume is not reasonable

Explanation:

A) Let;

m be total mass of the man

m_p be the mass of the man that pulled out of the water because of the buoyant force that pulled out of the lung

m_3 be the mass above the water with the empty lung

m_5 be the mass above the water with full lung

F_b be the buoyant force due to the air in the lung

V_a be the volume of air inside man's lungs

w_p be the weight that the buoyant force opposes as a result of the air.

Now, we are given;

m = 78.5 kg

m_3 = 3.2% × 78.5 = 2.512 kg

m_5 = 4.85% × 78.5 = 3.80725 kg

Now, m_p = m_5 - m_3

m_p = 3.80725 - 2.512

m_p = 1.29525 kg

From archimedes principle, we have the formula for buoyant force as;

F_b = (m_displaced water)g = (ρ_water × V_air × g)

Where ρ_water is density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Thus;

F_b = w_p = 1.29525 × 9.81

F_b = 12.7064 N

As earlier said,

F_b = (ρ_water × V_air × g)

Thus;

V_air = F_b/(ρ_water × × g)

V_air = 12.7064/(1000 × 9.81)

V_air = 1.295 × 10^(-3) m³

We want to convert to litres;

1 m³ = 1000 L

Thus;

V_air = 1.295 × 10^(-3) × 1000

V_air = 1.295 L

B) From research, the average lung capacity of an adult human being is 6 litres of air.

Thus, the calculated lung volume is not reasonable

Which of the following is the best example of a primary circular reaction?

olga55 [171]

Primary Circular Reactions (1-4 months): This substage involves coordinating sensation and new schemas. For example, a child may suck his or her thumb by accident and then later intentionally repeat the action. These actions are repeated because the infant finds them pleasurable.

An ice cube of mass 50.0 g can slide without friction up and down a 25.0 degree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring

lozanna [386]

Answer:

0.6 m

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed it stores potential energy. This energy is:

Ep = 1/2 * k * x^2

Being x the distance it compressed/stretched.

When the spring bounces the ice cube back it will transfer that energy to the cube, it will raise up the slope, reaching a high point where it will have a speed of zero and a potential energy equal to what the spring gave it.

The potential energy of the ice cube is:

Ep = m * g * h

This is vertical height and is related to the distance up the slope by:

sin(a) = h/d

h = sin(a) * d

Replacing:

Ep = m * g * sin(a) * d

Equating both potential energies:

1/2 * k * x^2 = m * g * sin(a) * d

d = (1/2 * k * x^2) / (m * g * sin(a))

d= (1/2 * 25 * 0.1^2) / (0.05 * 9.81 * sin(25)) = 0.6 m

An object is placed in front of a convex mirror with a radius of curvature of magnitude 10 cm. The mirror produces an image that

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

u = - 20 cm

m = $\frac{1}{5}$

Given:

Radius of curvature, R = 10 cm

image distance, v = 4 cm

Solution:

Focal length of the convex mirror, f:

f = $\frac{R}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5 cm$

Using Lens' maker formula:

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}$

Substitute the given values in the above formula:

$\frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{4}$

u = - 20 cm

where

u = object distance

Now, magnification is the ratio of image distance to the object distance:

magnification, m = $\frac{|v|}{|u|}$

magnification, m = $\frac{|4|}{|-20|}$

m = $\frac{4}{20}$

m = $\frac{1}{5}$

Wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are __________________ the wavelengths of reradiated heat. question 2 options: faster th

MArishka [77]

I think that the wavelengths of an incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of reradiated heat. This is because the incoming solar radiation to the surface of the earth is in the utraviolet (short) to near infrared (long) wavelength bands. After absorption has taken place, surfaces reradiate heat energy back to the atmosphere at long wavelength infrared.
