Sure! Here is the transcribed text suitable for an educational website: --- 13. **Two 100-kg football players** wearing regulation helmets collide helmet to helmet while each is moving directly at each other at 10.0 m/s and come to a near instantaneous stop. The area of contact at each helmet is 0.06 m², and the helmets are each designed to provide a crumple zone of 0.25 m. What is the maximum stress experienced on each player? (Ans: 4.0 x 10^6 N/m²) 14. **A designer of football helmets** has two options for increasing the safety of helmets but, for economic reasons, can implement only one. One option is to double the area of contact in a helmet-to-helmet collision. The other is to double the crumple distance experienced in a helmet-to-helmet collision. Which will be more effective in reducing the maximum stress? (Hint: solve the previous exercise first.) 15. **A soccer player heads a wet 0.5-kg soccer ball moving directly toward him by striking it with his forehead. Assume the player initially moves his head by 0.05 m to meet the ball.** --- The text is focused on the study of forces and stresses involved in sports collisions, specifically related to football helmet impacts and soccer ball heading.
