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

In the process of peppering the question with those forty (40 !) un-necessary quotation marks, you neglected to actually show us the illustration.  So we have no information to describe the adjacent positions, and we're not able to come up with any answer to the question.

A projectile is shot on level ground with a
erastova [34]

Answer:

time rising = 34 / 9.8 = 3.47 sec

total time in air = 2 * 3.47 sec = 6.94 sec

(time rising must equal time falling)

R = 17 m/s * 6.94 s = 118 m

Can also use range formula

R = v^2 sin (2 theta) / g

tan theta = 34 / 17 = 2

theta = 63.4 deg

2 theta = 126.9 deg

sin 126.9 = .8

v^2 = 17^2 + 34^2 = 1445 m^2/s^2

R = 1445 * .8 / 9.8 = 118 m    agreeing with answer found above
