A 75 kg ball carrier is running to the right at 6.5 m/s. An 80 kg defender is chasing the ball carrier running at 7.0 m/s. The d

efender catches the ball carrier in a completely inelastic collision. What was the kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle?

Answer:

3,544.375Joules

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion, It is expressed as;

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

m is the mass of the body

v is the velocity

For the ball carrier;

KE = 1/2(75)(6.5)²

KE = 3168.75/2

KE = 1584.375Joules

For the defender;

KE = 1/2(80)(7)²

KE = 3920/2

KE = 1960Joules

The kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle = KE for the carrier + KE for the defender

kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle= 1584.375+1960 = 3,544.375Joules

Which of the following examples could this free body diagram describe? (Check all that apply)
boyakko [2]

Answer:

A car accelerating to the right

Explanation:

The free-body diagram shows all the forces acting on an object. The length of each arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force represented by that arrow.

In this free-body diagram, we see that there are 4 forces acting on the object, in 4 different directions. We also see that the two vertical forces are equal so they are balanced, while the force to the rigth is larger than the force to the left: this means that there is a net force to the right, so the object is accelerating to the right.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A car accelerating to the right

A metallic sheet has a large number of slits, 5.0 mm wide and 20 cm apart, and is used as a diffraction grating for microwaves.
san4es73 [151]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the principle of superposition and constructive interference, that is to say everything that refers to an overlap of two or more equal frequency waves, which when interfering create a new pattern of waves of greater intensity (amplitude) whose cusp is the antinode.

Mathematically its definition can be given as:

d sin\theta =m\lambda

Where

d = Width of the slit

\theta = Angle between the beam and the source

m = Order (any integer) which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum, at this case 1 (maximum respect the wavelength)

Since the point of the theta angle for which the diffraction becomes maximum will be when it is worth one then we have to:

\lambda = d

\lambda = 20cm = 20*10^{-2}m

Applying the given relation of frequency, speed and wavelength then we will have that the frequency would be:

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Here the velocity is equal to the speed of light and the wavelength to the value previously found.

f = \frac{3*10^8}{0.2}

f = 1.5Ghz

Therefore the smallest microwave frequency for which only the central maximum occurs is 1.5Ghz

What happens to light waves at the interface between different media?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Refractive motion is the impact of a light wave that travels from medium to medium in an angle away from normal, where the direction of light varies. Light is refracted when it crosses the air-to-glass interface and moves slower.

A light wave from a star has a frequency of 6.67 * 100 Hz and a wavelength of 4.50 x 10 to the power of -7 m.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

speed =wavelenght x frequency

v=4.5 x 10 to the -7 x 667=0.3 x 10 to the -4 m/s

speed= distance/time

time=distance/speed

t=4 x 10 to the 16/0.3 x 10 to the -4=13.33 x 10 to the 20 seconds
