Answer:Bruce is knocked backwards at
14
m
s
.
Explanation:
This is a problem of momentum (
→
p
) conservation, where
→
p
=
m
→
v
and because momentum is always conserved, in a collision:
→
p
f
=
→
p
i
We are given that
m
1
=
45
k
g
,
v
1
=
2
m
s
,
m
2
=
90
k
g
, and
v
2
=
7
m
s
The momentum of Bruce (
m
1
) before the collision is given by
→
p
1
=
m
1
v
1
→
p
1
=
(
45
k
g
)
(
2
m
s
)
→
p
1
=
90
k
g
m
s
Similarly, the momentum of Biff (
m
2
) before the collision is given by
→
p
2
=
(
90
k
g
)
(
7
m
s
)
=
630
k
g
m
s
The total linear momentum before the collision is the sum of the momentums of each of the football players.

Because momentum is conserved, we know that given a momentum of
720
k
g
m
s
before the collision, the momentum after the collision will also be
720
k
g
m
s
. We are given the final velocity of Biff (
v

=
1
m
s
) and asked to find the final velocity of Bruce.

Using our known values:

(

∴
Bruce is knocked backwards at
14
m
s
.
Explanation:
<h2>
Velocity of the boat with respect to Earth is 5 m/s 56.31° north of east</h2>
Explanation:
A boat heads north in still water at 4.5 m/s directly across a river that is running east at 3.0 m/s.
Let north be positive y axis and east be positive x axis.
We have
Velocity of boat = 4.5 j m/s
Velocity of river = 3 i m/s
Velocity of the boat with respect to Earth = 3 i + 4.5 j
That is 56.31° north of east.
Velocity of the boat with respect to Earth is 5 m/s 56.31° north of east
