Answer:
The moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases.
Explanation:
This very concept might not seem to be interesting at first, but in combination with the law of the conservation of angular momentum, it can be used to describe many fascinating physical phenomena and predict motion in a wide range of situations.
In other words, the moment of inertia for an object describes its resistance to angular acceleration, accounting for the distribution of mass around its axis of rotation.
Therefore, in the course of this action, it is said that the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases.
The one word you're looking for to fill in the blank
can be "uneven" or "non-uniform".
The equation of the graph is
Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .
The graph is a straight line that passes through the origin,
and its slope is the mass of the object being studied.
Answers:
a) -2.54 m/s
b) -2351.25 J
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the <u>Conservation of Momentum principle</u>, which establishes that the initial momentum 
must be equal to the final momentum 
:
(1)
Where:
(2)
(3)
is the mass of the first football player
is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)
is the mass of the second football player
is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)
is the final velocity of both football players
With this in mind, let's begin with the answers:
a) Velocity of the players just after the tackle
Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):
(4)
Isolating :
(5)
(6)
(7) The negative sign indicates the direction of the final velocity, to the south
b) Decrease in kinetic energy of the 110kg player
The change in Kinetic energy 
is defined as:
(8)
Simplifying:
(9)
(10)
Finally:
(10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision
F=K*X,
F=M*a
M*a=K*X
2.5*9.81=K*0.0276
24.525=K*0.0276
24.525/0.0276=K
K= 888.6 N/m ---- force constant
assuming 2.5 refers to the new extension, just divide F/ 0.025
to get
981N/m
