Answer:

Final velocity of NFL line backer is 16.67 m/s.

Explanation:

From the question, we have following data about the NFL line backer:

Initial Speed of line backer = Vi = 0 m/s (Since, he starts from rest)

Distance covered by NFL line backer = s = 100 m

Time taken by the NFL line backer to complete 100 m sprint = t = 12 s

Acceleration of NFL line backer during sprint = a

Final Velocity of NFL line backer = Vf = ?

First we need to find the acceleration of the NFL line backer. For that purpose we will use 2nd equation of motion:

s = (Vi)(t) + (0.5)at²

using values:

100 m = (0 m/s)(12 s) + (0.5)(a)(12 s)²

100 m/72 s² = a

a = 1.39 m/s²

Now, we use 1st equation of motion to find Vf:

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 0 m/s + (1.39 m/s²)(12 s)

Olenka [21]

Answer: touch the pan to the burner

Explanation:

There are three modes of heat transfer:

conduction, convection and radiation.

For conduction, the heat transfers from a hot object to a cold object when the two are in contact.

For convection there is bulk motion of fluid occurs which transfers the heat.

For heat transfer by radiation, medium is not required.

Thus, to demonstrate conduction between pan and burner, the pan must touch the burner.

Answer:

Option B

$a=19 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Given information

Radius of container, r=12cm=12/100=0.12m

Angular velocity= 2 rev/s, converted to rad/s we multiply by 2π

Angular velocity, $\omega=2*2\pi =12.56637061$

We know that speed, $v=r\omega$

Centripetal acceleration, $a=\frac {v^{2}}{r}$ and substituting $v=r\omega$ we obtain that

$a=r\omega^{2}$

Substituting \omega for 12.56637061 and r for 0.12

$a=0.12*(12.56637061)^{2}=18.94964045 m/s^{2}$

Rounded off, $a=19 m/s^{2}$
