I assume L=120 yards as the length of the football field.

1) The average speed is given by the total distance covered by the player divided by the time taken.
The total distance covered to go from one goal line to the other and then back to the 40-yards line is
S=120y+(120-40)y=120y+80y=200 y
And the time taken is t=22.4 s, so the average speed of the player is
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{200 y}{22.4 s}=8.93 y/s

2) The find the average velocity, we should also consider the direction (and the sign) of the velocity.
In the the first part of the motion, the player goes from one goal line to the other one, so he covers 120 y. However, in the second part of the motion he goes back by 80 y. Therefore, the net displacement of the player is
S=120 y-80 y=40 y
and so, the average velocity is
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{40 y}{22.4 s}= 1.79 y/s

List an example of each of the four classes polymers that living things make and use
slamgirl [31]


The four classes of polymers are:

1. Nucleic acids.  Examples are DNA and RNA

2. Protein. Examples are enzymes and hemoglobin

3. Carbohydrates. Examples as starch and glycogen

4. Lipids. Examples are triglycerides and phospholipids

The building blocks of nucleic acids are called bases and there are four types known as Guanine, Adenine, Thymine and Cytosine.

The building blocks of carbohydrates are glucose molecules.

The building blocks of protein are amino acids.

The building blocks of lipids are a combination of fatty acids and glycerol.

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Ben's average speed was twice Debby's average speed.

Explanation:

Ben covered a total distance of 16 miles (10+4+2) and Debby covered 8 miles (3+2+2+1) which is half of what Ben covered. As they both reached the place in the same amount of time it tells us Ben was faster.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

minimum mass of the neutron star = 1.624 × 10^30 kg

Explanation:

For  a material to remain on the surface of a rapidly rotating neuron star, the magnitude oĺf the gravitational acceleration on the material must be equal to the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the rotating neuron star.

This can be represented by the explanations in the attached document.

minimum mass of the neutron star = 1.624 × 10^30 kg
