valkas [14]

Complete Question:

Football player A has a mass of 110 kg, and he is running down the field with a velocity of 2 m/s. Football player B has a mass of 120 kg and is stationary. What is the total momentum after the collision?

Answer:

Total momentum = 220 Kgm/s.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

For footballer A

Mass, M1 = 110kg

Velocity, V1 = 2m/s

For footballer B

Mass, M1 = 120kg

Velocity, V1 = 0m/s since he's stationary.

To find the total momentum;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

a. To find the momentum of A;

Momentum \; A = 110 * 2

Momentum A = 220 Kgm/s.

b. To find the momentum of B;

Momentum \; B = 120 * 0

Momentum B = 0 Kgm/s.

c. To find the total momentum of the two persons;

Total \; momentum = Momentum \; A + Momentum \; B

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Total \; momentum = 220 + 0

<em>Total momentum = 220 Kgm/s. </em>

Calculate the force of gravity between a comet with a mass of 500kg and a small asteroid with a mass of 20kg that is separated b
givi [52]

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

The equivalent gravitational force is ~

  • F  \approx1.48\times 10 {}^{ - 7}  \: \: N

\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Step\:\: By\:\:Step\:\:Explanation}}

We know that ~

\huge\boxed{\mathrm{F = \dfrac{ Gm_1m_2}{ r²}}}

where,

  • F = gravitational force

  • m_1 = mass of 1st object = 500 kg

  • m_2 = mass of 2nd object = 20kg

  • G = gravitational constant = 6.674 × {10}^ {-11}

  • r = distance between the objects = 2.12 m

Let's calculate the force ~

  • F = \dfrac{6.674   \times 10 {}^{ - 11} \times 500 \times 20}{(2.12) {}^{2} }

  • F = \dfrac{6.674  \times 10 {}^{ - 11} \times 10 {}^{4} }{4.4944}

  • F =  \dfrac{6.674}{4.4944}  \times 10 {}^{ - 7}

  • F =1.484 \times 10 {}^{ - 7}  \: \: newtons

An alpha particle (α), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elect
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Speed of the alpha particle is v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec      

Explanation:

We have given charge on alpha particle q=3.2\times 10^{-19}C

Mass of the alpha particle m=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg

Potential difference V=-3.45\times 10^{-3}volt

We have to find the speed of the alpha particle

From energy conservation we know that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

\frac{1}{2}\times 6.68\times 10^{-27}\times v^2=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 3.45\times 10^{-3}

v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec

Question 33
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The waves in the water travel faster and at a higher frequency than they travel on land.

Explanation:

The main reason why human ears can hear dolphins' vocalizations while under the water but cannot hear them well on land is because water is denser than air and air particles travel faster in denser particles.

Denser particles also ensures that the frequency of the waves move faster which in turn produces a faster and louder result.
