If a distance penalty, enforced from a specific spot between the goal lines would place the ball more than half the distance to the offender's goal line, the penalty is half the distance from that spot to the goal line. This general rule supercedes any other general or specific rule with regard to enforcement of penalties. An exception would be intentional grounding, which is penalized at the spot of the foul if that spot is more than 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

I got this information from The Chicago Tribune September 20, 2005 Column, Ask Jerry Markbreit.

What is work and how can be determine?

Work is the exertion of energy to accomplish a task or goal. It can be determined by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance over which the force is applied in the direction of the force. The formula for work is work = force x distance x cosine(theta), where theta is the angle between the force and the direction of motion.


How does the work you get out of a pulley compare with the work you put into it?

The WORK is the same. Work = force times distance. If the pulley allows you to pull half as hard, you will have to pull over twice the distance (length of rope), making the same total work. (Ignoring friction; you would actually have to do slightly more work to overcome the friction in the pulley.)


If force is work divided by distance then distance is force divided by work?

I usually start with the definition of work: Work = force * distance so... Force = work / distance Distance = work / force So, no. You had it backwards.


What is triathlon's swimming length?

It depends on what the Triathlon is...Sprint Distance is usually a swim of about a half mile (0.47). Olympic or International Distance is a swim of about one mile (0.93). Then there is the half-Ironman (70.3) or Long Distance Triathlon as they are sometimes referred to which has a swim of 1.2 miles. Then the ultimate Triathlon that many work toward which is the full Ironman distance and that has a swim of 2.4 miles.


Why most there be a distance of 15 inches from the center of the toilet and a shower or wall?

Is it true that will achieve after setting the goal and work it out?

When you decide to take a trip, you decide your destination and map out the route you will take to get there. This is how it is with a goal. If you set your goal (destination) and decide how you are going to reach that goal (route), and work to get there, you will achieve that goal.

If your friend pushes a lawn mower four times as far as you do while exerting only half the force which one of you does more work?

You friend would be doing twice as much work as you. Work=Force x Distance. Therefore, if he's doing .5 force x 4 distance, his work is 2, while yours would only be 1 (1 force x 1 distance).


What does work divided by force equal?

Work divided by force equals distance. This equation is based on the formula for work, which is work = force x distance. By rearranging the formula, you get distance = work/force.
