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.

4 0

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 .

Answer:

The horse father from the center has a greater tangential speed. Although both horses complete one circle in the same time period, the one farther from the center covers a greater distance during that same period.

. Consider the equation =0+0+02/2+03/6+04/24+5/120, where s is a length and t is a time. What are the dimensions and SI units of
Olegator [25]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

s=s_0+v_0t+\frac{a_0t^2}{2}+ \frac{j_0t^3}{6}+\frac{S_0t^4}{24}+\frac{ct^5}{120}

Solving (a): Units and dimension of s_0

From the question, we understand that:

s \to L --- length

t \to T --- time

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

s=s_0

Rewrite as:

s_0=s

This implies that s_0 has the same unit and dimension as s

Hence:

s_0 \to L --- dimension

s_o \to Length (meters, kilometers, etc.)

Solving (b): Units and dimension of v_0

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

s=v_0t

Rewrite as:

v_0t = s

Make v_0 the subject

v_0 = \frac{s}{t}

Replace s and t with their units

v_0 = \frac{L}{T}

v_0 = LT^{-1}

Hence:

v_0 \to LT^{-1} --- dimension

v_0 \to m/s --- unit

Solving (c): Units and dimension of a_0

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

s=\frac{a_0t^2}{2}

Rewrite as:

\frac{a_0t^2}{2} = s_0

Make a_0 the subject

a_0 = \frac{2s_0}{t^2}

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

a_0 = \frac{L}{T^2}\\

a_0 = LT^{-2

Hence:

a_0 = LT^{-2 --- dimension

a_0 \to m/s^2 --- acceleration

Solving (d): Units and dimension of j_0

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

s=\frac{j_0t^3}{6}

Rewrite as:

\frac{j_0t^3}{6} = s

Make j_0 the subject

j_0 = \frac{6s}{t^3}

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

j_0 = \frac{L}{T^3}

j_0 = LT^{-3}

Hence:

j_0 = LT^{-3} --- dimension

j_0 \to m/s^3 --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of s_0

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

s=\frac{S_0t^4}{24}

Rewrite as:

\frac{S_0t^4}{24} = s

Make S_0 the subject

S_0 = \frac{24s}{t^4}

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

S_0 = \frac{L}{T^4}

S_0 = LT^{-4

Hence:

S_0 = LT^{-4 --- dimension

S_0 \to m/s^4 --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of c

Ignore other terms of the equation, we have:

s=\frac{ct^5}{120}

Rewrite as:

\frac{ct^5}{120} = s

Make c the subject

c = \frac{120s}{t^5}

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

c = \frac{L}{T^5}

c = LT^{-5}

Hence:

c \to LT^{-5} --- dimension

c \to m/s^5 --- units

Kepler’s third law can be used to derive the relation between the orbital period, P (measured in days), and the semimajor axis,
NikAS [45]
Kepler's 3rd law is given as
P² = kA³
where
P = period, days
A = semimajor axis, AU
k = constant

Given:
P = 687 days
A = 1.52 AU

Therefore
k = P²/A³ = 687²/1.52³ = 1.3439 x 10⁵ days²/AU³

Answer:  1.3439 x 10⁵ (days²/AU³)

A solid cylinder has a mass of 5 kg and radius of 2 m and is fixed so that it is able to rotate freely around its center without
kari74 [83]

Answer:

0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of angular momentum,

angular momentum before impact = angular momentum after impact

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = angular momentum of bullet = + 9 kgm²/s (it is positive since the bullet tends to rotate in a clockwise direction from left to right)

L₂ = angular momentum of cylinder and angular momentum of bullet after collision.

L₂ = (I₁ + I₂)ω where I₁ = rotational inertia of cylinder = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder = 5 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2 m, I₂ = rotational inertia of bullet about axis of cylinder after collision = mR² where m = mass of bullet = 0.02 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2m and ω = angular velocity of system after collision

So,

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = (I₁ + I₂)ω

ω = L₁/(I₁ + I₂)

ω = L₁/(1/2MR² + mR²)

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(1/2 × 5 kg + 0.02 kg)(2 m)²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.5 kg + 0.02 kg)(4 m²)

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.52 kg)(4 m²)

ω = +9 kgm²/s/10.08 kgm²

ω = + 0.893 rad/s

The angular velocity of the cylinder bullet system is 0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction-since it is positive.
