A football player carrying the ball runs straight ahead at the line of scrimmage and directly into a wall of defensive linemen.

The ball carrier has an initial speed of 7.36 m/s and is stopped in a time interval of 0.180 s. Find the magnitude and direction of his average acceleration.

solution:

we have the following formula for average acceleration\\a_{ave}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}\\=\frac{0-(7.36)}{0.180}\\=-40.88m/s^2\\

Now the direction of this signed acceleration is towards in the direction of travel of the ball carrier.

But as this acceleration is negative we could just as validly state that the acceleration is 40.88m/s^2in the opposite direction to the ball carrier's travel.

Although both are valid, the latter statement is probably the answer you are expected to give .

amid [387]

Answer:

Explanation:

Galaxies are in constant motion with respect to each other . For example Andromeda galaxy is approaching our galaxy ( milky way ) at about 110 km /s . So we will observe blue shift in the spectrum of radiation coming from  this galaxy . In this way, we can distinguish between radiation coming from our galaxy and that coming from other galaxy . Spectrum of radiation coming from other galaxy must  have either red or blue  shift .

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a. dW = ∫pEsinθdθ  b. W = p.E

Explanation:

a. We know torque τ = p × E = pEsinθ where θ is the angle between p and E

Let the torque τ rotate the dipole by an amount dθ. So, the workdone dW = ∫τdθ = ∫pEsinθdθ

b. So, the total work done is gotten by integrating from 90 to θ. So,

W = ∫₉₀⁰dW

= ∫₉₀⁰pEsinθdθ

= pE∫₉₀⁰sinθdθ

= pE(cosθ - cos90)

=pEcosθ

= p.E

Why are chemical processes unable to produce the same amount of energy flowing out of the sun as nuclear fusion?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the major differences between nuclear reactions and chemical reactions is that nuclear reactions involve larger amount of energy than chemical energy. <u>This is because the force between the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is much higher than the force of attraction between electrons and the positively charged nucleus, hence nuclear reactions involves/requires a larger amount of energy (because it's reactions involve the nucleus) than chemical reactions (because it's reactions involve the electrons)</u>.

Thus, during nuclear fusion, two light nuclei are bombarded against one another to produce a larger/heavier nuclei with the release of large amount of energy (because the forces between the protons and neutrons are much higher) unlike when two atoms/molecules are chemically combined together to form a new molecule with the rearrangement of electrons in the valence shells of the participating molecules.
