During a football game, the running back changes direction from running 4.5 m/s [N] to 4.5 m/s [S] over 8 s. What is the acceler

ation of the running back during that time?

Explanation:

Take north to be positive and south to be negative.

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (-4.5 m/s − 4.5 m/s) / 8 s

a = -1.125 m/s²

The acceleration is 1.125 m/s² south.

g Can a rigid body experience any ACCELERATION when the resultant force acting on that rigid body is zero? Explain.Can a rigid b
Advocard [28]

Answer:

<em>No, a rigid body cannot experience any acceleration when the resultant force acting on the body is zero.</em>

Explanation:

If the net force on a body is zero, then it means that all the forces acting on the body are balanced and cancel out one another. This sate of equilibrium can be static equilibrium (like that of a rigid body), or dynamic equilibrium (that of a car moving with constant velocity)

For a body under this type of equilibrium,

ΣF = 0   ...1

where ΣF is the resultant force (total effective force due to all the forces acting on the body)

For a body to accelerate, there must be a force acting on it. The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied, for a constant mass of the body. The relationship between the net force and mass is given as

ΣF = ma   ...2

where m is the mass of the body

a is the acceleration of the body

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, we have

0 = ma

therefore,

a = 0

this means that<em> if the resultant force acting on a rigid body is zero, then there won't be any force available to produce acceleration on the body.</em>

A 5 kg rock is raised 28 m above the ground level. What is the change in its potential energy?
marin [14]
Let's assume that ground level is the height 0 meters. The change in potential energy is going to be gravitational potential energy, which is given by PE=mgh.
ΔPE=mgh-mgy
=mg(h-y)
=50(28-0)
=1400 J

Tom is sitting facing forward in the train as it is getting ready to leave the station. He puts a smooth ball on the train floor
Vesnalui [34]

According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to the ball is  the ball rolls backward.

<h3>What is the first law?</h3>

This means that an object at rest or in motion will remain uniformly rectilinear and tend to be in that state if the net force on it is zero.

In this case, we have to think that the ball is at rest and the train is moving with a velocity that way, the reaction of the ball will be to go in the opposite direction to the motion.

Which of the following are basic principles that apply to circuits? Choose the 2 correct answers from the choices below.
marta [7]

The basic principles that apply to circuits is that electrons must receive energy from a source, and electrons transfer energy to perform some useful function.

<h3 /><h3>What is circuit?</h3>

Individual electronic components, like resistors, transistors, are connected by metallic wires or traces by which the electric current can flow to form a circuit design.

The basic principles that apply to circuits will be;

1. Electrons must receive energy from a source.

2. Electrons transfer energy to perform some useful function.

Hence, option 1 and 2 are correct.
