Given:
The initial speed of the football is: vi = 0 m/s (as initially, the football is at rest)
The final speed of the football is: vf = 13 m/s
The time for which the football accelerates is: t = 0.24 s
The mass of the football is: m = 0.49 kg
To find:
The force exerted on the ball
Explanation:
The acceleration of the ball can be determined by using the following equation.
[tex]a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}[/tex]Substituting the values in the above equation, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{13\text{ m/s}-0\text{ m/s}}{0.24\text{ s}} \\ \\ a=\frac{13\text{ m/s}}{0.24\text{ s}} \\ \\ a=54.17\text{ m/s}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]The force exerted by the punter on the ball can be determined by using Newton's second law of motion.
According to Newton's second law of motion,
[tex]F=ma[/tex]Substituting the values in the above equation, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} F=0.49\text{ kg}\times54.17\text{ m/s}^2 \\ \\ F=26.54\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer:
The force exerted by the punter on the ball is 26.54 Newtons (N).
