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

Assuming a roughly spherical shape and a density of 4000 kg/m3, estimate the diameter of an asteroid having the average mass of

vredina [299]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Density of asteroid, $\rho=4000\ kg/m^3$

Mass of asteroid, $m=10^{17}\ kg$

We need to find the diameter of the asteroid. The formula of density is given by:

$\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}$

V is the volume of spherical shaped asteroid, $V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$r^3=\dfrac{3M}{4\pi \rho}$

$r^3=\dfrac{3\times 10^{17}\ kg}{4\pi \times 4000\ kg/m^3}$

$r^3=\sqrt{5.96\times 10^{12}}$

r = 2441311.12 m

Diameter = 2 × radius

d = 4882622.24 m

or

$d=4.88\times 10^6\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Carole is very tired and makes coffee. why would newton say that she must use her hand to put up the cup

Marat540 [252]

<span>newton say that she must use her hand to put up the cup because the work is equal to force times it distance, that is in the same direction of the force applied. if carole used her hand to put up the cup, then he is not applying any work because the displacement is not in the same direction of the force</span>

Use evidence to explain why glass refracted more light than air or water

agasfer [191]

Explanation:

The refraction is the change in the direction of light while travelling from the one medium to another due to having different speeds in different mediums.

To determine how much light gets refracted, it depends on the density of substance and the wavelength and the angle at which light enters the substance.

Light travels more slowly in denser medium than the rarer medium. The refractive index of glass is more than water or air. Light gets refracted more in this. When the light travels from rarer to denser then the light will get bend towards the normal. When the light travels from denser to rarer then the light will get bend away from the normal.

Glass is more denser than air or water. Water is more denser than the air. When light travels from air to glass then the light gets bends towards the normal. When the light travels from glass to the air then light gets bends away from the normal.

Therefore, the light gets refracted more in the glass than air to water.

A proton has a speed of 3.50 Ã 105 m/s when at a point where the potential is +100 V. Later, itâs at a point where the potential

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

(a). The change in the protons electric potential is 0.639 kV.

(b). The change in the potential energy of the proton is $1.022\times10^{-16}\ J$

(c). The work done on the proton is $-8\times10^{-18}\ J$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed $v= 3.50\times10^{5}\ m/s$

Initial potential V=100 V

Final potential = 150 V

(a). We need to calculate the change in the protons electric potential

Potential energy of the proton is

$U=qV=eV$

Using conservation of energy

$K_{i}+U_{i}=K_{f}+U_{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2+eV_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2+eV_{f}$

$]\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2-]\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2=e(V_{f}-V_{i})$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2-]\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2=e\Delta V$

$\Delta V=\dfrac{m(v_{i}^2-v_{f}^2)}{2e}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta V=\dfrac{1.67\times10^{-27}(3.50\times10^{5}-0)^2}{2\times1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$\Delta V=639.2=0.639\ kV$

(b). We need to calculate the change in the potential energy of the proton

Using formula of potential energy

$\Delta U=q\Delta V$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta U=1.6\times10^{-19}\times639.2$

$\Delta U=1.022\times10^{-16}\ J$

(c). We need to calculate the work done on the proton

Using formula of work done

$\Delta U=-W$

$W=q(V_{2}-V_{1})$

$W=-1.6\times10^{-19}(150-100)$

$W=-8\times10^{-18}\ J$

Hence, (a). The change in the protons electric potential is 0.639 kV.

(b). The change in the potential energy of the proton is $1.022\times10^{-16}\ J$

(c). The work done on the proton is $-8\times10^{-18}\ J$ .
