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 .

Stop lamps must be visible within____ to the rear
Charra [1.4K]
The answer is 300 feet. The stop lamp or lamps on the rear of a vehicle must show a red light that is set in motion upon application of the service or foot brake and, in a vehicle manufactured or assembled on or after January 1, 1964, must be visible from a distance of not less than 300 feet to the rear in normal sunlight. Take note, if the vehicle is manufactured or assembled January 1, 1964, the stop lamp or lamps must be visible from a distance of not less than 100 feet. Also, the stop lamp may be combined with one or more other rear lamps.

Can you please tell me what this is
Anna [14]

Answer:

200000 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg

Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

Kinetic energy is simply defined as the energy possess by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

KE = ½mv²

Where

KE => is the kinetic energy.

m =>is the mass of the object

V => it the velocity of the object.

With the above formula, we can obtain the kinetic energy of the roller coaster as follow:

Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg

Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 1000 × 20²

KE = 500 × 400

KE = 200000 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 J.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for relative velocity

= \frac{v_1+v_2}{1+\frac{v_1v_2}{c^2} }

= (.54 + .82 )c/ 1+ \frac{.54 \times.82}{1}

= 1.36 c / 1.4428

= .94 c

β = .94
