Help with an Average Acceleration question during a time period

AI Thread Summary
The average acceleration of the rugby player is calculated using the formula Avg Acceleration = (v2 - v1) / (t2 - t1), resulting in an acceleration of 1.1 m/s². The initial speed is 3.69 m/s, and after 3.27 seconds, the final speed is 7.29 m/s. The calculation confirms that the answer is correct. There are no indications or doubts expressed about the accuracy of this solution. The discussion concludes with confidence in the calculated average acceleration.

If a rugby player is running at 3.69 m/s and then decides to sprint in a straight line for a ball and 3.27 seconds later is running at 7.29 m/s, what is their average acceleration during that time? Units and direction of travel are not required




Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I've used Avg Acceleration = v2-v1 / t2-t1 ... 7.29-3.69/3.27
Final answer = 1.1

Your answer is right.
Do you have any reason to think it is wrong?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
