If you were to apply a force of 15N to a medicine ball with a mass of 10kg, what would its acceleration be

One of the equations for force is:  Force = mass × acceleration.

The force and mass are given and so:

F=15N

m=10kg

By plugging in these values we obtain:

F=ma\\\\15=10(a)\\

\frac{15}{10}=\frac{10(a)}{10}\\\\a=\frac{15}{10}=1.5m/s^2

So the acceleration is a=1.5m/s^2

A .71-kg billiard ball moving at 2.5 m/s in the x-direction strikes a stationary ball of the same mass. After the collision, the
Finger [1]

After the collision, the momentum didn't change, so the total momentum in x and y are the same as the initial.

The x component was calculated by subtracting the initial momentum (total) minus the momentum of the first ball after the collision

In the y component, as at the beginning, the total momentum was 0 in this axis, the sum of both the first and struck ball has to be the same in opposite directions. In other words, both have the same magnitude but in opposite directions

\begin{gathered} Py=0.71kg\cdot2.17\cdot sin(30) \\ Py=0.77kg\cdot m/s \end{gathered}

This is for both balls after the collision, but one goes in a positive and the other in a negative direction.

A cannon tilted upward at 30° fires a cannonball with a speed of 100 m/s. At that instant, what is the component of the cannonba
Sonja [21]

Answer:

the cannonball’s velocity parallel to the ground is 86.6m/S

Explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem remember that in a parabolic movement the horizontal component X of the velocity of the cannonball is constant while the vertical one varies with constant acceleration.

For this case we must draw the velocity triangle and find the component in X(see atached image).

V= Initial velocity=100M/S

cos30=\frac{Vx}{V}

V= Initial velocity=100M/S

Vx=cannonball’s velocity parallel to the ground

Solving for Vx

Vx=Vcos30

Vx=(100m/S)(cos30)=86.6m/s

the cannonball’s velocity parallel to the ground is 86.6m/S
