Answer:

17.6 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by the punter on the football is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the football:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum of the football

$\Delta t=0.25 s$ is the time elapsed

The change in momentum can be written as

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the football

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the ball starts from rest)

v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity

Combining the two equations and substituting the values, we find the force exerted on the ball:

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.55)(8.0-0)}{0.25}=17.6 N$

Which describes why the sun is a renewable resource? The sun creates biomass. The sun is continuously releasing energy. The sun

Fynjy0 [20]

Renewable source means that it can never run out or run out in a long time. In this case the sun is expected to shine for about five billion years because of the high amount of hydrogen that is stored in its core. So the answer should be "The sun is continuously releasing energy". This answer is the best because there are many other renewable resources on earth that can cause pollution.

The force required to compress a non-standard spring as a function of displacement from equilibrium x is given by the equation F

UNO [17]

Answer:

The equation which define the work done by spring is w = 45 x³ - 8 x²

Explanation:

Given as :

The force is the function of distance x

I.e F(x) = a x² - b x

where

a = 45 N/m²

b = 8 N/m

Now, Wok done = Force ×displacement

I.e W = F . ds

So , W = (a x² - b x) × x

or, W = (45 x² - 8 x) × x

Or, w = 45 x³ - 8 x²

So, the equation which define the work done by spring is w = 45 x³ - 8 x²

Hence The equation which define the work done by spring is w = 45 x³ - 8 x² Answer

Compare these two collisions of a PE student with a wall.

Stolb23 [73]

1) The variable that is different in the two cases is $\Delta t$ , the duration of the collision

2) The change in momentum is the same in the two cases

3) The impulse is the same in the two cases

4) Case B will experience a greater force

Explanation:

The variable that is different in the two cases is $\Delta t$ , the duration of the collision.

In fact, in the first case the wall is padded: this means that the collision will be "softer" and therefore will last longer, so the duration of the collision, $\Delta t$ , will be larger.

In the second case instead, the wall is unpadded: this means that the collision is "harder" and so it will last less time, therefore the duration of the collision $\Delta t$ will be smaller.

The change in momentum in the two cases is the same.

In fact, the change in momentum is given by:

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where:

m is the mass of the student

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

In both cases, we have:

m = 75 kg

u = 8 m/s

v = 0 (they both comes to rest)

Therefore, the change in momentum is

$\Delta p = (75)(0-8)=-600 kg m/s$

The impulse in the two cases is the same.

In fact, impulse is defined as the product of force applied, F, and duration of the collision, $\Delta t$ :

$J=F \Delta t$

However, the force can be rewritten as product of mass (m) and acceleration (a), according to Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

So the impulse is

$J=ma\Delta t$

The acceleration can be rewritten as rate of change of velocity:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

So the impulse becomes

$J=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t = m\Delta v$

So, the impulse is equal to the change in momentum: and since in the two cases the change in momentum is the same, the impulse is the same as well.

The force in the collision is related to the impulse by

$J=F\Delta t$

where

J is the impulse

F is the force

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision

The equation can be rewritten as

$F=\frac{J}{\Delta t}$

In the two situations described in the problem (A and B), we already said that the impulse is the same (because the change in momentum is the same). However, in case A (padded wall) the time $\Delta t$ is longer, while in case B (unpadded wall) the time $\Delta t$ is shorter: since the force F is inversely proportional to the duration of the collision, this means that in case B the student will experience a greatest force compared to case A.
