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

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: D. 0.57

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the eccentricity e of an ellipse is (assuming the moon's orbit in the shape of an ellipse):

e=\frac{r_{a}-r_{p}}{r_{a}+r_{p}}

Where:

r_{a} is the apoapsis (the longest distance between the moon and its planet)

r_{p}=0.27 r_{a} is the periapsis (the shortest distance between the moon and its planet)

Then:

e=\frac{r_{a}-0.27 r_{a}}{r_{a}+0.27 r_{a}}

e=\frac{0.73 r_{a}}{1.27 r_{a}}

e=0.57 This is the moon's orbital eccentricity

If an object has a mass of 38 kg, what is its approximate weight on earth?
klasskru [66]
38*10=380 N
To be more exact, 38 should be multiplied by 9.8 instead of 10.

Paolo says that his bicycle is hard to pedal.Mia looks at the bicycle and tells him he needs to oil the chain.explain why oiling
laila [671]

Answer:

Less friction

Explanation:

Paolo's bike is too difficult to pedal because there is too much friction in the mechanisms of the bike. To reduce friction, Paolo must oil the chain. This will make the bike run much more smoothly and allow for easier pedalling.
