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

v

=

,  

m

=

, and  

v

The momentum of Bruce (

m

) before the collision is given by

(

(

→

p

=

Similarly, the momentum of Biff (

m

) before the collision is given by

→

p

=

(

)

(

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

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

720

k

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

720

k

g

m

s

. We are given the final velocity of Biff (

) and asked to find the final velocity of Bruce.

Using our known values:

(

∴

Bruce is knocked backwards at

A moving sidewalk 95 m in length carries passengers at a speed of 0.53 m/s. One passenger has a normal walking speed of 1.24 m/s
Archy [21]

Answer:

a) t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) t = 54 s

c) t = 49 s

Explanation:

a) The equation for the position of an object moving in a straight line at constan speed is:

x = x0 + v * t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

In this case, the origin of our reference system is at the begining of the sidewalk.

a) To calculate the time the passenger travels on the sidewalk without wlaking, we can use the equation for the position, using as speed the speed of the sidewalk:

x = x0 + v * t

95 m = 0m + 0. 53 m/s * t

t = 95 m/ 0.53 m/s

t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) Now, the speed of the passenger will be her walking speed plus the speed of th sidewalk (0.53 m/s + 1.24 m/s = 1.77 m/s)

t = 95 m/ 1.77 m/s = 54 s

c) In this case, the passenger is located 95 m from the begining of the sidewalk, then, x0 = 95 m and the final position will be x = 0. She walks in an opposite direction to the movement of the sidewalk, towards the origin of the system of reference ( the begining of the sidewalk). Then, her speed will be negative ( v = 0.53 m/s - 2*(1.24 m/s) = -1.95 m/s. Then:

0 m = 95 m -1.95 m/s * t

t = -95 m / -1.95 m/s = 49 s

Imagine a string of holiday lights, with many bulbs connected to each other by wires. One bulb burns out, causing the bulbs next
FinnZ [79.3K]

C. Series

Consider resistors in a circuit - if all the resistors in the circuit are in series and one of the resistors fails then no current can flow thru the circuit,

If the resistors are in parallel then then each resistor experiences the same voltage drop regardless of whether or not any resistor in particular is carrying current.

The main difference between a chest and a bounce pass is what?
snow_lady [41]

Answer: The main difference between the three is the mode of transmission. The chest pass is straight through the air towards your teammate. While the bounce pass is directed toward the ground and then at your teammate. Finally, the overhead pass is projected high in the air to avoid defenders.
