During a football game, a receiver has just caught a pass and is standing still. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a vel

ocity of 2.60 m/s, grabs and holds onto him so that they move off together with a velocity of 1.30 m/s. If the mass of the tackler is 122 kg, determine the mass of the receiver. Assume momentum is conserved.

Answer:

<h2>122kg</h2>

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum which states that 'the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to their sum after collision. The bodies will move together with a common velocity after collision.

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

<u>Before collision;</u>

Momentum of receiver m1u1= 0 kgm/s (since the receiver is standing still)

Momentum of the tackler

m2u2 = 2.60*122 = 317.2 kgm/s

where m2 and u2 are the mass and velocity of the tacker respectively.

Sum of momentum before collision = 0+317.2 = 317.2 kgm/s

<u>After collision</u>

Momentum of the bodies = (m1+m2)v

v = their common velocity

m1 = mass of the receiver

Momentum of the bodies = (122+m1)(1.30)

Momentum of the bodies = 158.6+1.30m1

According to the law above;

317.2 = 158.6+1.30m1

317.2-158.6 = 1.30m1

158.6 = 1.30m1

m1 = 158.6/1.30

m1 = 122kg

The mas of the receiver is 122kg

Find a parametric representation for the surface. The plane through the origin that contains the vectors i - j and j - k
boyakko [2]

Answer:

parametric representation: x = u, y = v - u ,  z = - v

Explanation:

Given vectors :

i - j ,  j - k

represent the vector equation of the plane as:

r ( u, v ) = r₀ + <em>u</em>a + vb

where:  r₀ = position vector

            u and v = real numbers

             a and b = nonparallel vectors

expressing the nonparallel vectors as :

a = i -j , b = j - k , r = ( x,y,z ) and r₀ = ( x₀, y₀, z₀ )

hence we can express vector equation of the plane as

r(u,v) = ( x₀ + u, y₀ - u + v,  z₀ - v )

Finally the parametric representation of the surface through (0,0,0) i.e. origin = 0

( x, y , z ) = ( x₀ + u,  y₀ - u + v,   z₀ - v )

x = 0 + u ,

y = 0 - u + v

z = 0 - v

∴ parametric representation: x = u, y = v - u ,  z = - v

Explain why, in terms of forces, there is a risk of head injury when diving from this height. Suggest why the high divers would
podryga [215]

Answer:

Due to lower risk of injury or damage.

Explanation:

The high divers would choose to enter the water from the feet first because there is low risk of injury. The brain is the most important part of the body which very sensitive to any small injury. Small injury to brain leads to big problems in life. High divers can reach speeds of nearly 60 mph and enters about 28m into the water in about three seconds which can damage the head region if comes in contact with the ground so this is the reason the high divers avoid of entering in the water through their heads and choose entering through their feet.
