    Did I Make a Calculation Error in the Elastic Collision of Two Football Players?

    Homework Statement A collision occurs between two football players. Player 1 has mass of 75 kg and a velocity of 6 m/s. Player 2 has mass of 150 kg and a velocity of -3 m/s (meaning going in an opposite direction). Assuming an ELASTIC collision, what is the final velocity of player 2...

    Solve Biomechanical Question: Modulus of Elasticity (E) in MPa

    Homework Statement A tendon starts off with an initial length of 10 cm and a cross-sectional area of 0.1 cm^2. A force of 100 N is applied, which stretches the ligament to a new length of 11 cm. What is the Modulus of Elasticity (E) for this ligament (in MPa)? Homework Equations Stress...
