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

3. While traveling in a car, why do cars that pass by appear to be moving slowly?

Evgesh-ka [11]

It is because of momentum. Velocity can change if an object changes direction since velocity depends on both the speed and direction

A tree loses water to the air by the process of transpiration at the rate of 110 g/h. This water is replaced by the upward flow

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The answer is 1.87nm/s.

Explanation:

The $110g/hr$ water loss must be replaced by $110g/hr$ of sap. 110g of sap corresponds to a volume of

$110g \div \dfrac{1040*10^3g}{1*10^6cm^3} = 106cm^3$

thus rate of sap replacement is

$106cm^3/hr = 106*10^{-6}m^3/3600s = 2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s$

The volume of sap in the vessel of length $x$ is

$V = Ax$ ,

where $A$ is the cross sectional area of the vessel.

For 2000 such vessels, the volume is

$V = 2000Ax$

taking the derivative of both sides we get:

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 2000A \dfrac{dx}{dt}$

on the left-hand-side $\dfrac{dx}{dt}$ is the velocity $v$ of the sap, and on right-hand-side $\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s$ ; therefore,

$2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s=2000Av$

and since the cross-sectional area is

$A = \pi (\dfrac{100*10^{-3}m}{2} )^2 = 7.85*10^{-3}m^2$ ;

therefore,

$2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s =2000(7.85*10^{-3}m^2)v$

solving for $v$ we get:

$v = \dfrac{2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s}{2000(7.85*10^{-3}m^2)}$

$\boxed{v =1.875*10^{-9}m/s = 1.875nm/s}$

which is the upward speed of the sap in each vessel.

The James Webb Space Telescope is positioned around 1.5 million kilometres from the Earth on the side facing away from the Sun.

Bad White [126]

The angular velocity depends on the length of the orbit and the orbital

speed of the telescope.

Response:

First question:

The angular velocity of the telescope is approximately <u>0.199 rad/s</u>

Second question:

The telescope should accelerates away by approximately F = <u>0.0005·m </u>

Third question:

<u>The pulling force between the Earth and the satellite</u>

<h3>What equations can be used to calculate the velocity and forces acting on the telescope?</h3>

The distance of the James Webb telescope from the Sun = 1.5 million kilometers from Earth on the side facing away from the Sun

The orbital velocity of the telescope = The Earth's orbital velocity

First question:

$Angular \ velocity = \mathbf{\dfrac{Angle \ turned}{Time \ taken}}$

The orbital velocity of the Earth = 29.8 km/s

The distance between the Earth and the Sun = 148.27 million km

The radius of the orbit of the telescope = 148.27 + 1.5 = 149.77

Radius of the orbit, r = 149.77 million kilometer from the Sun

The length of the orbit of the James Webb telescope = 2 × π × r

Which gives;

r = 2 × π × 149.77 million kilometers ≈ 941.03 million kilometers

Therefore;

$Angular \ velocity = \dfrac{29.8}{941.03}\times 2 \times \pi \approx 0.199$

The angular velocity of the telescope, ω ≈ <u>0.199 rad/s</u>

Second question:

Centrifugal force force, $F_{\omega}$ = m·ω²·r

Which gives;

$F_{\omega} = m \cdot \dfrac{28,500^2 \, m^2/s^2}{149.77 \times 10^9 \, m} \approx 0.0054233 \cdot m$

$Gravitational \ force, F_G = \mathbf{G \cdot \dfrac{m_{1} \cdot m_{2}}{r^{2}}}$

Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³·kg⁻¹·s⁻²

Mass of the Sun = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg

Which gives;

$F_G = 6.67408 \times 10^{-11} \times \dfrac{1.989 \times 10^{30} \times m}{149.77 \times 10^9} \approx 0.00592 \cdot m$

Which gives;

$F_{\omega}$ < $F_G$ , therefore, the James Webb telescope has to accelerate away from the Sun

F = $\mathbf{F_{\omega}}$ - $\mathbf{F_G}$

The amount by which the telescope accelerates away is approximately 0.00592·m - 0.0054233·m ≈ <u>0.0005·m (away from the Sun)</u>

Third part:

Other forces include;

<u>The force of attraction between the Earth and the telescope </u>which can contribute to the the telescope having a stable orbit at the given speed.

Why do astronauts muscles weaken?

Pavlova-9 [17]

They work on a weightless planet, therefore they have very little muscle control since they float in space !!
