Answers:

a) -2.54 m/s

b) -2351.25 J

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the <u>Conservation of Momentum principle</u>, which establishes that the initial momentum p_{o} must be equal to the final momentum p_{f}:  

p_{o}=p_{f} (1)  

Where:  

p_{o}=m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o} (2)  

p_{f}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f} (3)

m_{1}=110 kg is the mass of the first football player

V{o}=-7 m/s is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)

m_{2}=75 kg  is the mass of the second football player

U_{o}=4 m/s is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)

V_{f} is the final velocity of both football players

With this in mind, let's begin with the answers:

a) Velocity of the players just after the tackle

Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):

m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f} (4)  

Isolating V_{f}:

V_{f}=\frac{m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}}{m_{1} + m_{2}} (5)

V_{f}=\frac{(110 kg)(-7 m/s) + (75 kg) (4 m/s)}{110 kg + 75 kg} (6)

V_{f}=-2.54 m/s (7) The negative sign indicates the direction of the final velocity, to the south

b) Decrease in kinetic energy of the 110kg player

The change in Kinetic energy \Delta K is defined as:

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{f}^{2} - \frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{o}^{2} (8)

Simplifying:

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}(V_{f}^{2} - V_{o}^{2}) (9)

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} 110 kg((-2.5 m/s)^{2} - (-7 m/s)^{2}) (10)

Finally:

\Delta K=-2351.25 J (10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision

You are holding a positive charge and there are positive charges of equal magnitude 1 mm to your north and 1 mm to your east. Wh
lara [203]

If I hold a positive charge in my hand and there are positive charges of equal magnitude 1 mm to your north and 1 mm to your east then the direction of the force on the charge I am holding is towards the north-east direction.

Reasoning:

It is given that there is a positive charge in my hand. There are two more positive charges with the same magnitude. One is 1 mm far towards the east, and the other one is 1 mm far towards the north. It is required to find the direction of the force acting on the charge in my hand.

Let the magnitude of the charge in my hand is Q, and the magnitude of the other charges is q.

Thus the electric force applied on the charge in my hand due to each other is,

F=\frac{kQq}{r^2}

Here k is the Coulomb constant, and r is the distance between the charges.

It is also known that the force on a positive charge due to another positive charge is acted outwards.

Thus, the force on the charge due to the charge on the east is,

\vec{F_1}=\frac{kQq}{( 10^{-3}\text{ m})^2}\hat{i}

And the force on the charge due to the charge on the north is,

\vec{F_2}=\frac{kQq}{( 10^{-3}\text{ m})^2}\hat{j}

As the forces are equal in magnitude and one is perpendicular to the other, thus the net force will be acted at an angle of 45^\circ from the north or from the north direction.

Thus the net force is acting in the north-east direction.

You accidentally slide a glass of milk off a table that is 0.9 m tall. How long does it take the milk to hit the ground.
labwork [276]

Fine, lets do a retry of this.

Δd = -0.9m

v₁ = 0

v₂ = ?

a = -9.8 m/s²

Δt = ?

We can use the following kinematic equation and solve for Δt.

                             Δd = v₁Δt + 0.5(a)(Δt)²

                             Δd = 0.5(a)(Δt)²

                           2Δd = a(Δt)²

                     √2Δd/a = Δt

√2(-0.9m)/(-9.8 m/s²) = Δt

0.<u>4</u>28571428574048 = Δt

Therefore, it takes 0.4 seconds for the glass to hit the ground, or 0.43s as you said (even though I don't believe it follows significant digit rules)
