Question

4) A football player starts at the 40-yard line, and runs to the 25-yard line in 2 seconds.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a). Their speed during that run is 10 m/s.

(b). Their velocity is 6.86 m/s

(c). The final position is at 8.91 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

A football player starts at the 40-yard line, and runs to the 25-yard line in 2 seconds.

Suppose, the distance between 40 yard line and 25 yard line is 20 yard.

(a). We need to calculate their speed during that run

Using formula of speed

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

Where. d = distance

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{18.288}{2}$

$v=10\ m/s$during that run

(b). We need to calculate their velocity

Using formula of speed

$v=\dfrac{\Delta d}{\Delta t}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{22.86-36.58}{2}$

$v=-6.86\ m/s$

Negative sign shows the direction of motion.

(c). If they kept running at that velocity for another 1.3 seconds,

We need to calculate the final position

Using formula of position

$d=vt$

Put the value into the formula

$d=6.86\times1.3$

$d=8.91\ m$

Hence, (a). Their speed during that run is 10 m/s.

(b). Their velocity is 6.86 m/s

(c). The final position is at 8.91 m.
