- An unwary football player collides head-on with a padded goalpost while running at 7.2 m/s and comes to a full stop after compressing the padding and his body by 0.28 m. Take the direction of the player’s initial velocity as positive Assuming constant acceleration, calculate his acceleration during the collision, in meters per second squared. How long does the collision last in seconds?arrow_forwardDae-hyun, a man of mass 72 kg, steps from a table 92 cm to the floor below. Assume that his velocity is zero as he leaves the table. As he lands, he bends his knees so that he decelerates to a final speed of zero over a distance of 35 cm. (a) What is Dae-hyun's speed just as he starts to hit the floor? Type your answer here (b) As he decelerates, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on him by the floor?

- In Michael Johnson's world-record 400 mm sprint, he ran the first 100 mm in 11.20 ss; then he reached the 200 mm mark after a total time of 21.32 ss had elapsed, reached the 300 mm mark after 31.76 ss, and finished in 43.18 ss. During what 100 mm segment was his speed the highest?arrow_forwardA 50.0-g Super Ball traveling at 25.5 m/s bounces off a brick wall and rebounds at 20.5 m/s. A high-speed camera records this event.

At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly beginsflying from engine A towards engine B at 33 kilometers per hour . The instant it touchesB, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collideand the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, a) what is the total distance the fly flew? b) the time it took till it was eliminated and c) the average velocity of the fly? how can i find this pleasearrow_forward
