Running at 1.55 m/s, Bruce, the 40.0 kg quarterback, collides with Biff, the 90.0 kg tackle, who is traveling at 7.0 m/s in the

other direction. Upon collision, Biff continues to travel forward at 1.0 m/s. How fast is Bruce knocked backward?

Answer:Bruce is knocked backwards at  

14

m

s

.

Explanation:

This is a problem of momentum (

→

p

) conservation, where

→

p

=

m

→

v

and because momentum is always conserved, in a collision:

→

p

f

=

→

p

i

We are given that  

m

=

45

k

g

,  

v

=

2

m

s

,  

m

2

=

90

k

g

, and  

v

2

=

7

m

s

The momentum of Bruce (

m

) before the collision is given by

→

p

=

m

v

→

p

=

(

45

k

g

)

(

2

m

s

)

→

p

1

=

90

k

g

m

s

Similarly, the momentum of Biff (

m

2

) before the collision is given by

→

p

2

=

(

90

k

g

)

(

m

s

)

=

630

k

g

m

The total linear momentum before the collision is the sum of the momentums of each of the football players.

=

k

Because momentum is conserved, we know that given a momentum of  

720

k

g

m

s

before the collision, the momentum after the collision will also be  

720

k

g

m

s

. We are given the final velocity of Biff (

v

=

1

m

s

) and asked to find the final velocity of Bruce.

Solve for

Using our known values:

v

f

(

(

∴

Bruce is knocked backwards at  

14

m

The Surface Pressure at Leh, Ladakh is 800 mb. Now, assuming that Leh is at an altitude of 3500 m and every 100 m increase in he
Basile [38]

We have that the sea level pressure for Leh area is 1150mb mathematically given as

Ps= 1150 mb

<h3> Sea level pressure</h3>

Question Parameters:

Ladakh is 800 mb.

<u>assuming </u>that Leh is at an altitude of 3500 m and every 100 m

increase in height with respect to sea level corresponds to 10 mb pressure,

Generally, for 3500m the pressure change will be 350 mb.

Therefore,  here for the sea level <em>pressure</em> we need to add,

Ps=800+350

Ps= 1150 mb

wite a paragraph explaining the difference between things that have matter and things that don't have matter.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: Matter is how much space or opacity an object takes up. In short anything that take up space. Things like balls, trees, and even people are all made of matter. Mass is how much matter a object has. Air also has mass also, even though we can't see it. Things like cars, buildings, even planets have mass.

Explanation: Paragraphs are sometimes 4-6 sentences.
