Force exerted on the ball by the bat can be calculated according to newtons second law,
Force = mass × acceleration
Given mass of the ball = 5kg
Acceleration of the ball = 2m/s²
Force exerted on the ball= 5×2
Force exerted on the ball by the bat = 10N
If the force of 10N is applied on the ball by the bat in the forward direction, the reaction force of the ball on the bat will also be 10N but in the opposite direction (backward) to the direction of the bat according to newton's third law which states that actions and reaction are equal and opposite.
The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.
Explanation:
From Hydrostatics we find that the pressure difference between extremes of the water column is defined by the following formula, which is a particular case of the Bernoulli's Principle ():
(1)
, - Total pressures at the bottom and at the top, measured in pascals.
- Density of the water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.
- Height difference of the step, measured in meters.
If we know that , , and , then the pressure at the top of the step is:
The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.
It's D. By "net" they mean the overall force the object experiences, so sum all the force vectors, those in a negative direction (eg friction) should be subtracted.
