Question

A wide receiver catches the football that has 108 J of energy (work). How much force did his hands apply if he stopped it over a distance of 0.32m

Answer 1

Answer:
`337.5\ N`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Energy associated with football is
`E=108\ J`

The receiver takes 0.32 m to stop the ball

Suppose F is the force applied

`\therefore W=F\cdot d\\\text{Insert the values}\\\\\Rightarrow 108=F* 0.32\\\\\Rightarrow F=(108)/(0.32)\\\\\Rightarrow F=337.5\ N`
