Fred (mass 60 kg) is running with the football at a speed of 6.0 m/s when he is met head-on by brutus (mass 120 kg), who is moving at 4.0 m/s. brutus grabs fred in a tight grip, and they fall to the ground. which way do they slide and how far? the coefficient of kinetic friction between football uniforms and the ground is 0.30.

By applying the law of conservation of momentum, the distance Fred and Brutus would slide is equal to 0.0756 meters.

Given the following data:

To find the direction and how far (distance) Fred and Brutus would slide, we would use the law of conservation of momentum:

Where:

Making the subject of formula, we have:

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Therefore, they would both slide in the direction Brutus is falling due to the negative sign.

To find the distance, we would solve for the acceleration of both players by applying Newton's Second Law of Motion:

The kinetic frictional force is equal to the sum of the net force acting on both players.

Now, we can determine the distance covered by using the third equation of motion;

Distance, S = 0.0756 meters

  x = 0.0756 m

Fred moves in the direction where Brutus moves

Explanation:

This exercise is for the moment, we define the system as formed by the two players, for this system the forces in the clash are internal, so the moment is preserved

Initial. Before the crash

       p₀ = m v₀₁ - M v₀₂

Final. After the crash

        = (m + M) v

       p₀ =

       m v₀₁ –M v₀₂ = (m + M) v

       v = (m v₀₁ - M v₀₂) / (m + M)

Let's calculate

       v = (60 6 - 120 4) / (60 +120)

       v = - 120/180

       v = - 0.667 m / s

The negative sign indicates that the final speed is the direction where Brutus runs

Let's use Newton's second law to find the acceleration of the two players

       fr = (m + M) a

       fr = μ N

      N- W = 0

      N = (m + M) g

      μ (m + M) g = (m + M) a

      a = μ g

      a = 0.30 9.8

      a = 2.94 m / s²

We use kinematics to find the distance traveled, the final speed is zero

     v² = v₀² - 2 a x

     x = v₀² / 2 a

     x = 0.667² / (2 2.94)

     x = 0.0756 m

answer; the correct answer is technician a; ///100%good luck

it's when something is going so fast it makes a loud noise, breaking the sound barrier, for example: a jet makes a loud noise, not only cause of the jet but because they reached a point where they went so fast that you can year the noise from various parts, kinda like a police car, lets say the car was going   so fast that you hear the siren of the cop car right next to you, but the car is probably a mile a way, it's cos the siren was next to you a few seconds if you understand me
