Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the tackler, m₁ = 120 kg
Velocity of tackler, u₁ = 3 m/s
Mass, m₂ = 91 kg
Velocity, u₂ = -7.5 m/s
We need to find the mutual velocity immediately the collision. It is the case of inelastic collision such that,


v = -1.5 m/s
Hence, their mutual velocity after the collision is 1.5 m/s and it is moving in the same direction as the halfback was moving initially. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply law of conservation of momentum to know velocity after collision . Let it be v .
total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision
15 x 1.5 - 12 x .75 = ( 15 + 12 ) v
v = .5 m /s
kinetic energy before collision
1/2 x 15 x 1.5² + 1/2 x 12 x .75²
= 16.875 + 3.375
= 20.25 J
kinetic energy after collision
= 1/2 x ( 15 + 12 ) x .5²
= 3.375 J
Loss of energy = 16.875 J
This energy appear as heat and sound energy that is produced during collision .
Answer:
How does a Van de Graaff generator works?
A Van de Graaff generator pulls electrons from the Earth, moves them along a belt and stores them on the large sphere. These electrons repel each other and try to get as far away from each other as possible, spreading out on the surface of the sphere. ... It provides a convenient path for electrons to move to the ground.

Answer:
Part a)

Direction of force is along the motion of charge
Part b)

direction of electric field is along the direction of motion
Explanation:
Part a)
As we know that the change in electric potential energy is equal to the work done by electric field


now from the equation of work done we know that



Direction of force is along the motion of charge
Part b)
As we know the relation between electrostatic force and electric field given as



direction of electric field is along the direction of motion
I believe the answer is up and down :)
