<span><u>Answer </u>
The mass of 220 lb football has less than 288 lb football. So, it will be easier to move it since it will require less force. The heavy football will have a bigger momentum. Since 288 lb has more weight than 220 lb, it will have bigger inertia making it difficult for the players to stop it.
This makes it easier to tackle 220 lb football than 288 lb football.

There are several scientific aspects that require to be comprehended beforehand;

Force = mass * acceleration

Weight = mass * gravity (10m/s)

Momentum = mass * velocity

Inertia is a property of mass which is the tendency of an object to remain at constant velocity unless acted upon by an outside force.

Based on these formulae, it is evident that if the 220lb player and 288lb player are moving at the same velocity, the 288lb player has more inertia and momentum than the 22olb. Therefore, it would require more force (hence energy) to change the direction or the speed (in tackling) of the player with 288lb compared with what would be required on the 220lb player.

A 0.45-m metal rod moves 0.11 m in a direction that is perpendicular to a 0.80-T magnetic field in an elapsed time of 0.036 s. A
Gwar [14]

Answer:

1.1 V

Explanation:

L = 0.45 m

d = 0.11 m

B = 0.80 T

t = 0.036 s

Let e be the emf.

e = B v L

e = 0.80 x 0.11 x 0.45 / 0.036 = 1.1 V

A force of 30 N stretches a very light ideal spring 0.73 m from equilibrium. What is the force constant (spring constant) of the
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = k*n

F = 30N

k = ???

N = 0.73 M

F = k* N

30N = k * 0.73

k = 30N / 0.73

k = 41.1
