A rugby player runs with the ball directly toward his opponent's goal, along the positive direction of an x axis. He can legally
pass the ball to a teammate as long as the ball's velocity relative to the field does not have a positive x component. Suppose the player runs at speed 3.5 m/s relative to the field while he passes the ball with velocity
v⃗ BP
relative to himself. If
v⃗ BP
has magnitude 6.0 m/s, what is the smallest angle it can have for the pass to be legal?

Explanation: Velocity is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. Two measurements are needed to determine velocity. Displacement and time. Displacement includes a direction, so velocity also includes a direction. Speed with direction. Velocity can be an average velocity or an instantaneous velocity. Units for velocity are the same as for speed: m/s, km/h, and mph. Delta x(Δx) is the symbol used for displacement. Delta (Δ) means to "change in." Δx means to "change in position." Δx is calculated by final position minus initial position. Velocity formula: → v=Δx/t as a fraction.
v=Δx/t
<em><u>Final answer is 30.</u></em>
