Answer:
Final velocity will be -5.33 m/sec
Explanation:
We have given mass of the rugby player m = 106 kg
Initial speed = 7.75 m/sec
Backward force [tex]F=1.85\times 10^4N[/tex]
Time is given as [tex]t=7.5\times 10^{-2}sec[/tex]
Impulse is given by impulse = force × time
So impulse [tex]=-1.85\times 10^4\times 7.5\times 10^{-2}=-1387.5N-s[/tex] ( as force is backward )
We know that impulse is given by change in momentum
So [tex]m(v_f-v_i)=-1387.5[/tex]
[tex]106\times (v_f-7.75)=-1387.5[/tex]
[tex]v_f=-5.33m/sec[/tex]
