Weight is a force caused by gravity. The weight of an object is the gravitational force between the object and the Earth. The more mass the object has the greater its weight will be.
Answer: Force applied by trampoline = 778.5 N
<em>Note: The question is incomplete.</em>
<em>The complete question is : What force does a trampoline have to apply to a 45.0 kg gymnast to accelerate her straight up at 7.50 m/s^2? note that the answer is independent of the velocity of the gymnast. She can be moving either up or down or be stationary.
</em>
Explanation:
The total required the trampoline by the trampoline = net force accelerating the gymnast upwards + force of gravity on her.
= (m * a) + (m * g)
= m ( a + g)
= 45 kg ( 7.50 * 9.80) m/s²
Force applied by trampoline = 778.5 N
Yo sup??
since the collision is elastic therefore we can say that the two balls will then move in opposite direction.
If ball 1 was moving from east to west then after collision it will move from west to east
and if ball 2 was moving from west to east then it will start moving from east to west.
Hope this helps.
