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 :

Answer: [tex]337.5\ N[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Energy associated with football is [tex]E=108\ J[/tex]

The receiver takes 0.32 m to stop the ball

Suppose F is the force applied

[tex]\therefore W=F\cdot d\\\text{Insert the values}\\\\\Rightarrow 108=F\times 0.32\\\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{108}{0.32}\\\\\Rightarrow F=337.5\ N[/tex]
