In a football game, the running back takes a handoff and begins running toward midfield at 3.21 yards/s . As he moves through hi

s linemen, he accelerates at a rate of 1.71 yards/s^2 to a velocity of 7.54 yards/s before he is tackled. How far did he run after he got the ball?

Given Information:

Initial speed = u = 3.21 yards/s

Acceleration = α  = 1.71 yards/s²

Final speed = v = 7.54 yards/s

Required Information:

Distance = s = ?

Answer:

Distance = s = 13.61

Explanation:

We are given the speeds and acceleration of the runner and we want to find out how much distance he covered before being tackled.

We know from the equations of motion,

v² = u² + 2αs

Where u is the initial speed of the runner, v is the final speed of the runner, α is the acceleration of the runner and s is the distance traveled by the runner.

Re-arranging the above equation for distance yields,

2αs = v² - u²

s = (v² - u²)/2α

s = (7.54² - 3.21²)/2×1.71

s = 46.55/3.42

s = 13.61 yards

Therefore, the runner traveled a distance of 13.61 yards before being tackled.

Calculate the acceleration using the formula acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity)/time
kari74 [83]

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. In most acceleration problems:

the given parameters will be;

   Initial velocity

   final velocity

   time.

Using the equation below:

  Acceleration  = \frac{Final velocity  -   initial velocity}{time}

 

one can solve for acceleration. The unit is usually in m/s²

The mohorovicic discontinuity marks the change in rock density between the core and the mantle. mantle and crust. asthenosphere
lions [1.4K]

The transition zone between the crust and mantle is called as mohorovicic discontinuity.

The mohorovicic discontinuity was discovered by Andrija Mohorovicic in the year of 1909. The Moho lies at the depth of 35km beneath the continents and 8km beneath the oceanic crust. The Moho separates both the continental crust and the oceanic crust from underlying mantle. The Moho lies almost entirely within the lithosphere, only beneath the Mid Oceanic Ridge does it define lithosphere and asthenosphere boundary. Immediate above the Moho velocity of the P wave is 6km/sec and just below the Moho it becomes 8km/sec. Moho is characterised by up to 500km thick.

The Mohorovicic Discontinuity marks the lower limit of Earth's crust. It occurs at an average depth of about 8 kilometers beneath the ocean basins and 32 kilometers beneath continental surfaces. Mohorovicic was able to use his discovery to study thickness variations of the crust.

Mohorovicic discontinuity is the layer which is between the earth's crust and mantle. It's density ranges from 3.3 to 3.7.

Which change decreases the resistance of a piece
nika2105 [10]

Explanation :

We know that the resistance of the wire is given by :

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}

Where

\rho is the resistivity

l is the length of the wire

A is the area of the wire.

Another factor on which the resistance of wire depends is temperature. It is given by :

R=R_{ref}[1+\alpha (T-T_{ref})]

So, it is clear that the resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the temperature. It we want to decrease the resistance of the piece, its temperature should be decreased.

So, the correct option is (3) " decreasing the wire’s temperature ".

How does a galvanometer use a magnetic field to indicate the strength of an electric current?
Lynna [10]
It consists of a coil in a constant magnetic field.  The current in the coil is the current being measured, and changes the magnetic moment of the coil (given by IA where I is current and A is loop area).  This coil's magnetic moment feels a torque in this external magnetic field that moves a needle that tells the observer what the current must be, since the external field is known by the designers of the galvanometer.
