On a very muddy football field, a 110kg linebacker tackles an 85kg halfback. Immediately before the collision, the linebacker is

Alchen [17]

Using conservation of energy and momentum you can solve this question. M_l = mass of linebacker
M_ h = mass of halfback
V_l = velocity of linebacker
V_h = velocity of halfback

So for conservation of momentum,
rho = mv

M_l x V_li + M_h x V_hi = M_l x V_lf + M_h x V_hf

For conservation of energy (kinetic)
E_k = 1/2mv^2/ 1/2mV_li^2 + 1/2mV_{hi}^2 = 1/2mV_{lf}^2 + 1/2mV_{hf}^2

Where i and h stand for initial and final values.
We are already told the masses, \[M_l = 110kg\] \[M_h = 85kg\] and the final velocities \[V_{fi} = 8.5ms^{-1}\] and \[V_{ih} = 7.2ms^{-1}

Who exerts more pressure? a) A girl of 50 kg, wearing heels with an area of 1 cm2. b) An elephant of 4000 kg with foot area of 2

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The girl exerts more pressure.

Explanation:

Pressure can be defined as the force exerted normally or perpendicularly per unit area.

i.e P = F/A

Girls

Area of the heel = 1cm² = 10^(-4) m²

Force = mg = 50 × 10 = 500N
