Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Speed = 116 ÷ 29
Speed = 4

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

= (116 meters) / (29 seconds)

= (116/29) (meters per second)

= 4 meters per second (4 m/s)

A 95kg fullback (football player for those not into sports) moving south with a speed of 5.0 m/s has a perfectly inelastic colli

Lunna [17]

Answer:

a. $v=3.11mls$ , $29.4^{0}$

b. $K.E =-697.8J$

Explanation:

To calculate the values in the question, a deep understanding of perfect inelastic collision is important.

When two bodies undergo inelastic collision, two important parameters must be well understood i.e

Momentum: the momentum is always conserved in perfectly inelastic collision. i.e the total momentum after collision is the sum of the individual momentum before collision

Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is not conserved due to dissipative force.

a.To calculate the velocity, we first find the total momentum before collision

Momentum of player 1 $p_{1} =mv=95kg*5m/s\\p_{1} =475kgm/s\\$

Momentum of player 2 $p_{2} =mv=90kg*3m/s\\p_{1} =270kgm/s\\$

Hence the total momentum $p_{12}=p_{1}+p_{2}\\$

Note, since the direction of movement before collision is due south and due north respectively we have to represent the velocity using the rectangular coordinate

Hence $p_{12}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v=p_{1}i+p_{2}j\\$

$(95+90)v=475i+270j\\$

$v=2.57i+1.45j\\$

solving for the resultant velocity, we have

$v=\sqrt{2.75^{2} +1.45^{2}}\\ v=3.11mls$

To calculate the direction of movement, we have

$\alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{v_{j} }{v_{i}}\\ \alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{1.45}{2.57}\\\alpha =29.4^{0}$

b. to calculate the decrease in total kinetic energy, before collision, the total kinetic was

$K.E_{initial} =\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}.\\K.E_{initial} =((1/2)*95*5^{2})+((1/2)*90*3^{2})\\K.E_{initial} =1187.5+405\\K.E_{initial} =1592.5J\\$

And the final kinetic energy after collision is

$K.E_{final} =\frac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2} )v^{2}\\ K.E_{final} =\frac{1}{2}(95+90)* 3.11^{2}\\ K.E_{final} =894.7J$

The decrease in Kinetic energy is

$K.E =K.E_{final}- K.E_{initial}=894.7-1592.5$

$K.E =-697.8J$

The negative sign indicate a decrease in Kinetic energy

A particle with mass 1.81×10−3 kg and a charge of 1.22×10−8 C has, at a given instant, a velocity v⃗ =(3.00×104m/s)j^. What are

slava [35]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle is $a= 0.3296\ \hat{k}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass $m = 1.81\times10^{-3}\ kg$

Velocity $v = (3.00\times10^{4}\ m/s)j$

Charge $q = 1.22\times10^{-8}\ C$

Magnetic field $B= (1.63\hat{i}+0.980\hat{j})\ T$

We need to calculate the acceleration of the particle

Formula of the acceleration is defined as

$F = ma=q(v\times B)$

$a =\dfrac{q(v\times B)}{m}$

We need to calculate the value of $v\times B$

$v\times B=(3.00\times10^{4}\ m/s)j\times(1.63\hat{i}+0.980\hat{j})$

$v\times B=4.89\times10^{4}$

Now, put the all values into the acceleration 's formula

$a =\dfrac{1.22\times10^{-8}\times(-4.89\times10^{4}\hat{k})}{1.81\times10^{-3}}$

$a= -0.3296\ \hat{k}\ m/s^2$

Negative sign shows the opposite direction.

Hence, The magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle is $a= 0.3296\ \hat{k}\ m/s^2$

You push very hard on a heavy desk, trying to move it. You do work on the desk:

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that work done is given by

$W=F.d=Fdcos\Theta$

So there are two case in which work done is zero

First case is that when force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

And other case is that when there is no displacement

So for work to be done there must have displacement, if there is no displacement then there is no work done

So option (c) will be the correct option

Answer:

D)evaluating a solution

Explanation:

In this scenario, the next logical step would be evaluating a solution. This is because Jasper and Samantha have already identified the problem/need which is that the robot needs to be able to move a 10-gram weight at least 2 meters and turn in a circle. They also designed and implemented a solution because they have already built the robot. Therefore the only step missing is to evaluate and make sure that the robot they built is able to complete the requirements.
