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

What is the primary ingredient of power yoga?
LuckyWell [14K]
The primary ingredient of power yoga was said to be heated. The heat makes the power yoga so particularly effective as a physical therapy. The heat is primarily used in shaping glasses to any figures that the person may want to. Power yoga can practically provide more space for fluids to carry the nutrients and remove toxins

Which of the following statements is accurate?
cupoosta [38]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

A

The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.

Because wavelength is the distance between the two successful crest or trough.

B) 

Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position.

Because amplitude is the measure of maximum displacement from the original position

A 1.53-kg bucket hangs on a rope wrapped around a pulley of mass 7.07 kg and radius 66 cm. This pulley is frictionless in its ax
levacccp [35]

Answer:

\alpha = 6.431\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

Explanation:

The pulley is modelled by the Newton's Laws, whose equation of equilibrium is:

\Sigma M = T \cdot R = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M \cdot R^{2}\cdot \alpha

Given that tension is equal to the weight of the bucket, the angular acceleration experimented by the pulley is:

T = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M \cdot R \cdot \alpha

m_{b}\cdot g = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M \cdot R \cdot \alpha

\alpha = \frac{2\cdot m_{b}\cdot g}{M\cdot R}

\alpha = \frac{2\cdot (1.53\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}{(7.07\,kg)\cdot (0.66\,m)}

\alpha = 6.431\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}
