A football player runs from his own goal line to the opposing team's goal line, returning to his forty-yard line, all in 22.4 s.
1 answer:
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
And the time taken is t=22.4 s, so the average speed of the player is
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
and so, the average velocity is

Which of the following are characteristics of noble gases?
✅
- An inert gas is one that does not undergo chemical reactions. The noble gases have complete outer shells, so they have no tendency to lose, gain, or share electrons. This is why they are said to be inert.
✅
- Noble gases are the least reactive of all elements. This is because they already have the desired eight total 's' and 'p' electrons in their outermost (highest) energy level.
