On a touchdown attempt, 95.00 kg running back runs toward the end zone at 3.750 m/s. A 113.0 kg line-backer moving at 5.380 m/s

meets the runner in a head-on collision. If the two players stick together, a) what is their velocity immediately after collision? b) What is the kinetic energy of the system just before the collision and a moment after the collision?

Answer:

(a) 1.21 m/s

(b) 2303.33 J, 152.27 J

Explanation:

m1 = 95 kg, u1 = - 3.750 m/s, m2 = 113 kg, u2 = 5.38 m/s

(a) Let their velocity after striking is v.

By use of conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v

- 95 x 3.75 + 113 x 5.38 = (95 + 113) x v

v = ( - 356.25 + 607.94) / 208 = 1.21 m /s

(b) Kinetic energy before collision = 1/2 m1 x u1^2 + 1/2 m2 x u2^2

                                               = 0.5 ( 95 x 3.750 x 3.750 + 113 x 5.38 x 5.38)

                                               = 0.5 (1335.94 + 3270.7) = 2303.33 J

Kinetic energy after collision = 1/2 (m1 + m2) v^2                

                                                = 0.5 (95 + 113) x 1.21 x 1.21 = 152.27 J

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2, towards the Earth. Rain falling from an altitude of 9,000 m would fall for about 1
Anna [14]

Answer:

the final speed of the rain is 541 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

height of fall of the rain, h = 9,000 m

time of the rain fall, t = 1.5 minutes = 90 s

Determine the initial velocity of the rain, as follows;

h = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\9000 = 90u +  \frac{1}{2} (9.8)(90)^2\\\\9000 = 90u + 39690\\\\90u = -30690\\\\u = \frac{-30690}{90} \\\\u = -341 \ m/s

The final speed of the rain is calculated as;

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = (-341)^2 + 2(9.8\times 9000)\\\\v^2 = 292681\\\\v = \sqrt{292681} \\\\v = 541 \ m/s

Therefore, the final speed of the rain is 541 m/s.
