Question

when a stationary rugby ball is kicked, it is contact with a player's about for 0.05 s. during this short time, the ball accelerates at 600m/s/s.calculate the speed at which the ball leaves the player's boot​

Answer 1

30 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

v = u+at................ Equation 1

Where v = final speed of the ball, u = initial speed of the ball, a = acceleration, t = time.

From the question,

Given: u = 0 m/s (stationary), a = 600 m/s², t = 0.05 s

Substitute these values into equation 5

v = 0+(600×0.05)

v = 30 m/s

Hence the speed at which the ball leaves the player's boot is 30 m/s
