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)

How do i find the number of leptons in an atom??

Serjik [45]

Answer:

In particle physics, a lepton is an elementary particle of half-integer spin (spin 1⁄2) that does not undergo strong interactions.[1] Two main classes of leptons exist: charged leptons (also known as the electron-like leptons or muons), and neutral leptons (better known as neutrinos). Charged leptons can combine with other particles to form various composite particles such as atoms and positronium, while neutrinos rarely interact with anything, and are consequently rarely observed. The best known of all leptons is the electron.

You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from

Phoenix [80]

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches

A tennis ball, 0.314kg, is accelerated at a rate of 164m/s2 when hit by a professional tennis player. What force does the player

Colt1911 [192]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

= (0.314 kg) x (164 m/s²)

= 51.5 newtons

(about 11.6 pounds).

Notice that the ball is only accelerating while it's in contact with the racket. The instant the ball loses contact with the racket, it stops accelerating, and sails off in a straight line at whatever speed it had when it left the strings.
