Calculate the final velocity right after a 118 kg rugby player who is initially running at 7.45 m/s collides head-on with a padded goalpost and experiences a backward force of 17500 N for 5.50 x 10-2 s. Question Credit: OpenStax College Physics final velocity: m/s
Calculate the final velocity right after a 117-kg rugby player who is initially running at 7.55 m/s collides head-on with a padded goalpost and experiences a backward force of 1.85 times 10^4 N for 5.50 times 10^-2 s.
A 102.5-kg rugby player is initially running at 9.5 m/s in the positive direction, but collides head-on with a padded goalpost and experiences a backward force of 1.73 × 104 N for 5.4 × 10–2 s. Calculate the final velocity in the horizontal direction of the rugby player, in meters per second.
Calculate the final speed (in m/s) of a 114 kg rugby player who is initially running at 7.25 m/s but collides head-on with a padded goalpost and experiences a backward force of 1.75 ✕ 104 N for 6.50 ✕ 10−2 s.
Suppose that a 112.5 kg football player running at 8.5 m/s catches a 0.44 kg ball moving at a speed of 25 m/s with his feet off the ground, while both of them are moving horizontally. Calculate the change in kinetic energy of the system, in joules, after the player catches the ball. Calculate the change in kinetic energy of the system, in joules, in this case.
Two football players collide head-on in midair while chasing a pass. The first player has a 110 kg mass and an initial velocity of 4.10 m/s in the positive x direction, while the second player has a 125 kg mass and initial velocity of 3.40 m/s in the negative x direction. What is the x component of their velocity just after impact if they cling together? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
A 190-kg rugby player running east with a speed of 4.00 m/s tackles a 99.0-kg opponent running north with a speed of 3.90 m/s. Assume the tackle is a perfectly inelastic collision. (Assume that the +x axis points towards the east and the +y axis points towards the north.) (a) What is the velocity of the players immediately after the tackle? magnitude m/s direction ° counterclockwise from the +x axis (b) What is the amount of mechanical energy lost during...
Lineman A (m = 100kg) is travelling with a velocity of 4 m/s when he collides with Lineman B (m=90kg), who has a velocity of -4.5m/s. If momentum is conserved and Lineman B is completely stopped in his tracks, what happens to the velocity of Lineman A after the collision?
Freight trains can produce only relatively small acceleration and decelerations. (a) What is the final velocity (in m/s) of a freight train that accelerates at a rate of 0.0500 m/s2 for 8.00 min, starting with an initial velocity of 5.00 m/s? 28.0 X m/s (b) If the train can slow down at a rate of 0.450 m/s2, how long in s) will it take to come to a stop from this velocity? 62.2 XS (c) How far (in m) will...
Freight trains can produce only relatively small acceleration and decelerations. (a) What is the final velocity (in m/s) of a freight train that accelerates at a rate of 0.0700 m/s for 8.00 min, starting with an initial velocity of 4.00 m/s? m/s (b) If the train can slow down at a rate of 0.450 m/s2, how long (in s) will it take to come to a stop from this velocity?
