a man hits golf ball (2kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s/s what amount of force acted on the ball

Physics

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

         = (2 kg) x (20 m/s²)  =  40 newtons .

                                     
about 9 pounds .

Note:  The ball can only accelerate during the short time
that the clubface is in contact with it.  Once it leaves the
clubface, it can't accelerate any more.

Also ... that's one heckuva golf ball.  It weighs about 4.4 pounds !

A 10.2-kg mass is located at the origin, and a 4.6-kg mass is located at x = 8.1 cm. Assuming g is constant, what is the locatio
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

center of mass of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

center of gravity of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

So center of mass is same as center of gravity because value of gravity is constant here

Explanation:

Position of centre of mass is given as

r_{cm} = \frac{m_1r_1 + m_2r_2}{m_1 + m_2}

here we have

m_1 = 10.2 kg

m_2 = 4.6 kg

r_1 = (0, 0)

r_2 = (8.1cm, 0)

now we have

r_{cm} = \frac{10.2 (0,0) + 4.6 (8.1 , 0)}{10.2 + 4.6}

r_{cm} = {(37.26, 0)}{14.8}

r_{cm} = (2.52 cm, 0)

so center of mass of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

now for center of gravity we can use

r_g_{cm} = \frac{m_1gr_1 + m_2gr_2}{m_1g + m_2g}

here we have

m_1 = 10.2 kg

m_2 = 4.6 kg

r_1 = (0, 0)

r_2 = (8.1cm, 0)

now we have

r_g_{cm} = \frac{10.2(9.8) (0,0) + 4.6(9.8) (8.1 , 0)}{10.2(9.8) + 4.6(9.8)}

r_g_{cm} = {(37.26, 0)}{14.8}

r_g_{cm} = (2.52 cm, 0)

So center of mass is same as center of gravity because value of gravity is constant here

The direction of deflection of an electron beam in a magnetic field can be determined by which of the following?
amid [387]

Answer:

Right Hand Rule

Explanation:

When a charged particle travels in a magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude is given by:

F=qvBsin\theta

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field strength

\theta is the angle between the directions of v and B

The direction of the force can be determined by using the Right Hand Rule, as follows:

- index finger: this should be put in the direction of the velocity

- middle finger: this should be put in the direction of the magnetic field

- thumb: this will give the direction of the force -> however, for a negative charge (as the electron) the direction must be reversed, so it will be opposite.

A bungee jumper of mass m = 65 kg jumps from a bridge.
yawa3891 [41]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply energy conservation.

By definition we know that kinetic energy is equal to potential energy, therefore

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where,

m = mass

g = gravitaty constat

v = velocity

h = height

Re-arrange to find h,

h=\frac{v^2}{2g}

Replacing with our values

h=\frac{26^2}{2*9.8}

h = 34.498\approx 34.5m

Therefore the correct answer is C.
