The original kinetic energy of the player and the average power is required to stop him are 1200 J and 1200 W respectively.
What is Kinetic Energy ?
The energy possessed by a body in motion is known as Kinetic Energy. The S. I unit is Joule.
Given that an 87-kg football player traveling 5.2 m/s is stopped in 1.0 s by a tackler. The given parameters are;
The original kinetic energy of the player can be calculated by using the formula K.E = 1/2m[tex]v^{2}[/tex]
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
K.E = 1/2 x 87 x [tex]5.2^{2}[/tex]
K.E = 1176.24
K.E = 1200 J
Power is the rate at which work is done.
Work done = energy
The average power is required to stop him can be calculated by using the formula P = E/t
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
P = 1200/1
P = 1200 W
Therefore, the original kinetic energy of the player and the average power is required to stop him are 1200 J and 1200 W respectively.
