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
Any student who states that tectonic plates are too massive to move doesn't understand how much heat exists in the center of the earth. This heat is capable of moving the most massive of plates.
The sun's energy is refferd to solor energy
The number of significant digits to the answer of the following problem is four.
<h3>What are the significant digits?</h3>
The number of digits rounded to the approximate integer values are called the significant digits.
The following problem is
(2.49303 g) * (2.59 g) / (7.492 g) =
On solving we get
= 0.86184566204
The answer is approximated to 0.86185
Thus, the significant digits must be four.
