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 0.200-m uniform bar has a mass of 0.795 kg and is released from rest in the vertical position, as the drawing indicates. The s

aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

Since, the rod is present in vertical position and the spring is unrestrained.

So, initial potential energy stored in the spring is $U_{s}$ = 0

And, initial potential gravitational potential energy of the rod is $U_{g} = \frac{mgL}{2}$ .

It is given that,

mass of the bar = 0.795 kg

g = 9.8 $m/s^{2}$

L = length of the rod = 0.2 m

Initial total energy T = $\frac{mgL}{2}$

Now, when the rod is in horizontal position then final total energy will be as follows.

T = $\frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + I \omega^{2}$

where, I = moment of inertia of the rod about the end = $\frac{mL^{2}}{3}$

Also, $\omega = \frac{\nu}{L}$

where, $\nu$ = speed of the tip of the rod

x = spring extension

The initial unstrained length is $x_{o}$ = 0.1 m

Therefore, final length will be calculated as follows.

x' = $\sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}}$ m

Then, x = $x' - x_{o}$

x = $\sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}}$ m - 0.1 m

= 0.1236 m

k = 25 N/m

So, according to the law of conservation of energy

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1 \times mL^{2}}{2 \times 3}(\frac{\nu}{L})^{2}$

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}$

$\frac{0.795 kg \times 9.8 \times 0.2 m}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 27 N/m \times (0.1236)^{2} + \frac{1}{6} \times 0.795 \times v^{2}$

v = 2.079 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that tangential speed with which end A strikes the horizontal surface is 2.079 m/s.

adoni [48]

Answer:

Juno scientific payload includes:

A gravity/radio science system (Gravity Science)
A six-wavelength microwave radiometer for atmospheric sounding and composition (MWR)
A vector magnetometer (MAG)
Plasma and energetic particle detectors (JADE and JEDI)
A radio/plasma wave experiment (Waves)
An ultraviolet imager/spectrometer (UVS)
An infrared imager/spectrometer (JIRAM)

Explanation:

Each mission of NASA has a specific set of instruments that it uses to perform scientific experiments on the desired heavenly body. In case of Juno, the mission for Jupiter has a series of instruments that would study domains of gravitational forces, magnetic effect, particle detection, radiation detection, UV/IR imaging, and plasma experiments.
