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)

Vf = 16.67 m/s

What is the least value of an ammeter Is it 1. 0.1 2. 0.10 3. 0.2 4. 0.5

givi [52]

The least value varies depends on ammeter range. In the given question, ammeter range is not mentioned. So, the least value of an ammeter is 0.1 or 0.5 (depends on ammeter range).

Explanation:

The least value of an ammeter is the measure of the smallest number which can be observed in ammeter. So the least value will be varying depending upon its range. If we consider the range of ammeter is 30 A and the scale readings are 10 numbers, then the least value will be 30/10 = 3 A per scale.

So the least value is determined as $\frac{Range of ammeter}{No.of scales}$
