9. A 50 kg halfback is in the process of making a turn on a football field. The halfback makes 1/4 of a turn with a radius of 15 meters in 2.1 seconds
before being tackled. What is the net force acting on the halfback before
he is tackled?

Net force = 419.5N

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 50kg

Radius = 15m

Time = 2.1 secs

Turns = 1/4 = 0.25

In order to find the net force, we would first of all solve for the speed and acceleration of the halfback.

To find speed;

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the equation;

But the distance traveled is given by the circumference of a circle =

Since he covered 1/4th of a turn;

Substituting into the equation;

Speed, v = 11.22m/s

To find acceleration;

Where, v = 11.22m/s and r = 15m

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Acceleration, a = 8.39m/s²

To find the net force;

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

Where;

Substituting into the equation, we have;

F = 419.5N

Therefore, the net force acting upon the halfback is 419.5 Newton.

ill do it for 100, also this isnt 80 its 40

it would be kevlar ^^
