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

Light travels 186 000 miles per second.how many miles dose light travel in one year
Troyanec [42]

       (186,000 mi/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (365 da/yr)

  =   (186,000 x 3,600 x 24 x 365)  mi/yr

  =      5,865,696,000,000  miles per year  (rounded to the nearest million miles)

The phase change in which a substance changes from a gas directly to a solid is
vlabodo [156]
<span>Condensation is the change of the substance from liquid to solid phase. Example of this is the formation of ice. Vaporization is the change of substance from liquid to gas phase. Example of this is the boiling of water. Deposition is the change of a substance from gas to solid phase. Example of this is the formation of ice on a winter day. Sublimation is the change of a substance from solid to gas phase. Example of this is dry ice. The answer is letter C.</span>

A mass-spring system has k = 56.8 N/m and m = 0.46 kg.
andriy [413]

Answer:

A. \omega=11.1121\ rad.s^{-1}

B. f=1.7685\ Hz

C. T=0.5654\ s

Explanation:

Given:

  • spring constant, k=56.8\ N.m^{-1}
  • mass attached, m=0.46\ kg

A)

for a spring-mass system the frequency is given as:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{56.8}{0.46}}

\omega=11.1121\ rad.s^{-1}

B)

frequency is given as:

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}

f=\frac{11.1121}{2\pi}

f=1.7685\ Hz

C)

Time period of a simple harmonic motion is given as:

T=\frac{1}{f}

T=0.5654\ s
