Dafna11 [192]

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 p_{o} must be equal to the final momentum p_{f}:  

p_{o}=p_{f} (1)  

Where:  

p_{o}=m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o} (2)  

p_{f}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f} (3)

m_{1}=110 kg is the mass of the first football player

V{o}=-7 m/s is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)

m_{2}=75 kg  is the mass of the second football player

U_{o}=4 m/s is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)

V_{f} 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):

m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f} (4)  

Isolating V_{f}:

V_{f}=\frac{m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}}{m_{1} + m_{2}} (5)

V_{f}=\frac{(110 kg)(-7 m/s) + (75 kg) (4 m/s)}{110 kg + 75 kg} (6)

V_{f}=-2.54 m/s (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 \Delta K is defined as:

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{f}^{2} - \frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{o}^{2} (8)

Simplifying:

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}(V_{f}^{2} - V_{o}^{2}) (9)

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} 110 kg((-2.5 m/s)^{2} - (-7 m/s)^{2}) (10)

Finally:

\Delta K=-2351.25 J (10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision

valentinak56 [21]

Answer: Alfred Wegener provided some of the important points that supported the theory of continental drift. They are as follows-

  1. The continents were once all attached together, and this can be proved by studying the coastlines of some of the continents that perfectly matches with one another.
  2. The appearance of similar rock types and similar fossils (including both animals and plants) has also contributed much information that continents were once all together.
