A football wide receiver rushes 16 m straight down the playing field in 2.9 s (in the positive direction). He is then hit and pu

shed 2.5 m straight backwards in 1.65 s. He breaks the tackle and runs straight forward another 24 m in 5.2 s.
Part (a) Calculate the wide receiver's average velocity in the horizontal direction during the first interval, in meters per second.

Part (b) Calculate the wide receiver's average velocity in the horizontal direction during the second interval, in meters per second.

Part (c) Calculate the wide receiver's average velocity in the horizontal direction during the third interval, in meters per second.

Part (d) Calculate the wide receiver's average velocity in the horizontal direction for the entire motion, in meters per second

Answer:

a) v1 = 5.52m/s

b) v2 = -1.52m/s

c) v3 = 4.62m/s

d) vt = 3.85m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the football wide receiver is his displacement per unit time.

Velocity v = (displacement d)/time t

v = d/t .....1

For each of the cases, equation 1 would be used to calculate the velocity.

a) v1 = d1/t1

d1= 16m

t1 = 2.9s

v1 = 16m/2.9s

v1 = 5.52m/s

b) v2 = d2/t2

d2 = -2.5m

t2 = 1.65s

v2 = -2.5/1.65

v2 = -1.52m/s

c) v3 = d3/t3

d3 = 24m

t3 = 5.2s

v3 = 24/5.2

v3 = 4.62m/s

d) vt = dt/tt

dt = 16m - 2.5m + 24m = 37.5m

tt = 2.9 + 1.65 + 5.2 = 9.75s

vt = 37.5/9.75

vt = 3.85m/s

A 0.25 kg ball is suspended from a light 0.65 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 31° with the vertical. Let U = 0 w
steposvetlana [31]

Explanation:

a) The height of the ball h with respect to the reference line is

h = L - L\cos{31°} = L(1 - \cos{31°})

so its initial gravitational potential energy U_0 is

U = mgh = mgL(1 - \cos{31°})

\:\:\:\:\:=(0.25\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31})

\:\:\:\:\:=0.23\:\text{J}

b) To find the speed of the ball at the reference point, let's use the conservation law of energy:

\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0 \Rightarrow K_0 + U_0 = K + U

We know that the initial kinetic energy K_0, as well as its final gravitational potential energy U are zero so we can write the conservation law as

mgL(1 - \cos{31°}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Note that the mass gets cancelled out and then we solve for the velocity v as

v = \sqrt{2gL(1 - \cos{31°})}

\:\:\:\:\:= \sqrt{2(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31°})}

\:\:\:\:\:= 1.3\:\text{m/s}

What are the three subatomic particles that make up an atom
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Proton, neutron, electron

Explanation:

The atom consists of a nucleus, where almost all the mass is concentrated, and electrons orbiting around the nucleus.

The nucleus consists of two types of particles:

- Proton: it has a mass of 1.6726\cdot 10^{-27} kg, and a positive electric charge of +e (1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)

- Neutron: it has a mass of 1.6749 \cdot 10^{-27}kg, and it has no electric charge

The third particle that makes an atom is the electron, that orbit around the nucleus:

- Electron: it has a mass of 9.1094\cdot 10^{-31}kg, and it has a negative electric charge of -e (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)

The three branches of science are ____, earth, and physical
Rom4ik [11]
The three branches of science are life, earth, and physical science.
Life science deals with living organisms, so, biology is the most important of these sciences, although there are many.
Earth science deals with Planet Earth, studying its atmosphere, lithosphere, etc.
Physical science studies the inorganic world.

Sati [7]
Alright, to begin with. The unit of Force is in Newtons. Meaning the first two options are out of the answers. Now in order to find the force. You will need to take the mass and multiply that by the acceleration. Which will give you 26.75 Newtons.
