Answer:
Unbalanced forces change the motion of an object. If an object is at rest and an unbalanced force pushes or pulls the object, it will move. Unbalanced forces can also change the speed or direction of an object that is already in motion.
Answers:
a) -2.54 m/s
b) -2351.25 J
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the <u>Conservation of Momentum principle</u>, which establishes that the initial momentum 
must be equal to the final momentum 
:
(1)
Where:
(2)
(3)
is the mass of the first football player
is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)
is the mass of the second football player
is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)
is the final velocity of both football players
With this in mind, let's begin with the answers:
a) Velocity of the players just after the tackle
Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):
(4)
Isolating :
(5)
(6)
(7) The negative sign indicates the direction of the final velocity, to the south
b) Decrease in kinetic energy of the 110kg player
The change in Kinetic energy 
is defined as:
(8)
Simplifying:
(9)
(10)
Finally:
(10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision
By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that
<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0
where <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and <em>w</em> = weight of the object. Hence <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 196 N, where <em>m</em> = 20 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².
The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of <u>static</u> friction <em>µ</em> is such that
80 N = <em>µ</em> (196 N) → <em>µ</em> = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408
Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of <u>kinetic</u> friction <em>ν</em> is
40 N = <em>ν</em> (196 N) → <em>ν</em> = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204
And so the closest answer is C.
(Note: <em>µ</em> and <em>ν</em> are the Greek letters mu and nu)
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) Time period T = 2 s
Angular velocity ω = 2π / T
= 2π / 2 = 3.14 rad /s
Initial moment of inertia I₁ = 200 + mr²
= 200 + 25 x 2.5²
=356.25
Final moment of inertia
I₂ = 200 + 25 X 1.5 X 1.5
= 256.25
b ) We apply law of conservation of momentum
I₁ X ω₁ = I₂ X ω₂
ω₂ = I₁ X ω₁ / I₂
Putting the values
ω₂ = 4.365 rad s⁻¹
c ) Increase in rotational kinetic energy
=1/2 I₂ X ω₂² - 1/2 I₁ X ω₁²
.5 X 256.25 X 4.365² - .5 X 356.25 X 3.14²
= 684.95 J
This energy comes from work done against the centripetal pseudo -force.
