An excited 92 kg football player celebrates a touchdown by carelessly running straight into the goalpost at 9.4 m/s. He bounces straight backward at 6.2 m/s. What was the change in velocity? What was the impulse of the player?

i. 15.6 m/s

ii. I = 1.44 KNs

Explanation:

The impulse, I, on a body is the product of force applied on it and the time it acts.

i.e I = F x t

Impulse is sometimes expressed as the change in momentum of a body. It is measured in Ns.

i. mass, m, of the player = 92 kg

initial velocity of the player, u = 9.4 m/s

final velocity of the player, v = 6.2 m/s

Since he bounces back on hitting the pole, then the sign of initial and final velocities are of opposite sign.

So that,

change in velocity of the player = final velocity - initial velocity

                                          = 6.2 - (-9.4)

                                         = 6.2 + 9.4

                                         = 15.6 m/s

change in velocity of the player is 15.6 m/s

ii. Impulse, I = m(v - u)

                    = 92 x 15.6

                    = 1435.2

Impulse on the player is 1.44 KNs.

i guess that visual aids present persuasive examples to what you are presenting, some factors would be theme (does it fit with the color, information, what you are presenting), size (can you see it, is it a big enough span of data/information), and overall look of the visual aid.

hope this : )

true is the correct answer
