Answer:
20.4m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 0m/s
Distance = 53m
Time = 5.2s
Unknown:
Acceleration = ?
Solution:
This is a linear motion and we use the right motion equation;
S = ut +
at²
S is the distance
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
Insert the parameters and solve;
53 = (0x 5.2) +
x a x 5.2
53 = 2.6a
a =
= 20.4m/s²

Option b is the answer
Impulse describes the change of momentum. Since we don't know the momentum of the soccer ball before the hit, this question is hard to answer. If you assume the momentum of the ball before the hit was p = 0, then the change in momentum is just Δp = Impulse = mv.
