A40-kg soccer player going through the air at 4m/s collides with a 60-kg player who is headed toward her at 3m/s, in the air. what is the speed and direction of the entangled players? explain how to do it

The entangled players would move with a speed of 0.2 m/s in the direction direction of the motion of second soccer player.

Explanation:

From law of conservation of momentum,

Initial momentum of the closed system  = final momentum of the closed system

Since, no external force is acting on the players, total momentum would be conserved.

m₁u₁+m₂u₂=(m₁+m₂)v

where, m₁ is the mass of one soccer player = 40 kg

u₁ is its initial velocity before collision = 4 m/s

m₂ is the mass of the other soccer player = 60 kg

u₂ is the initial velocity before collision = - 3 m/s (∵opposite direction)

After collision, the two players get entangled and hence move with the same final velocity v.

40 kg × 4 m/s - 60 kg × 3 m/s = (40 kg + 60 kg ) v

160  kg m/s - 180 kg m/s = 100 kg v

v = -0.2 m/s

Hence, the entangled players would move with a speed of 0.2 m/s in the direction direction of the motion of second soccer player.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
