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

If you increase the frequency of a sound wave four times what will happen to its speed
Anika [276]

Answer: The correct answer is "the speed of the wave becomes four times".

Explanation:

The relation between the speed, frequency and the wavelength is as follows:

v=f\lambda

Here, v is the speed of the wave, f is the frequency and \lambda is the wavelength.

The speed of the sound wave is directly proportional to the frequency.

In the given problem, if the speed of the sound wave is increased four times then the speed of the sound becomes four times.

Therefore, the speed of the sound wave becomes four times.

The gravitational force between two objects is represented by the variable F. If the distance is decreased by 5 what is the new
Anvisha [2.4K]

The universal law of gravitation states that:

Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

It means that if the gravitational force is F, then if the distance is decreased by 5 times, then the new gravitation force is:

F/5² = F/25
