Rt c if you were to hit a ping pong ball of mass 0.0029 g with the same force that caused a 0.058-g tennis ball to move with an

acceleration of 10 m/s2 , what would the acceleration a of the ping pong ball be? express your answer in meters per second squared.

F=ma
You know the acceleration and mass of the tennis ball, now you can find the force applied by substituting it into the formula. Also I am assuming you meant to write your units in kg because that seems very light for grams. I am sorry if I misunderstood. 
F=ma
  = (0.058kg)(10m/s²)
  = 0.58N
Now that you know how much force was exerted you can solve for how much acceleration the ping pong ball will have.
F=ma
a=F/m
  =(0.58N)/(0.029kg)
  =20m/s²
Hope this helps!

<em>The acceleration of the ping pong ball would be </em><em>200 m/s²</em>

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the resultant force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object.

\boxed {\Sigma F = ma }

F = Force ( Newton )

m = Object's Mass ( kg )

a = Acceleration ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of ping pong ball = m₁ = 0.0029 g

mass of tennis ball = m₂ = 0.058 g

acceleration of tennis ball = a₂ = 10 m/s²

<u>Asked:</u>

acceleration of ping pong ball = a₁ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

\Sigma F_{\texttt{ping pong ball}} = \Sigma F_{\texttt{tennis ball}}

m_1 a_1 = m_2 a_2

0.0029 \times a_1 = 0.058 \times 10

0.0029 \times a_1 = 0.58

a_1 = 0.58 \div 0.0029

a_1 = 200 \texttt{ m/s}^2

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

<em>The acceleration of the ping pong ball would be </em><em>200 m/s²</em>

Consider a situation in which you are moving two point charges such that the potential energy between them decreases. (NOTE: ign
Oxana [17]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The potential energy decreases in the case when the charges are opposite and they attract each other.

In this case there is no external energy required in order to put the charges together.

This is so because the charges are opposite and they will attract each other. Yes, the only condition should be that the charges should be alike.

Example: a negative charge and a positive charge.

If I walk 15 minutes miles north and then 20 miles South:
Anna71 [15]

\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Kinematics.

1.) Distance travelled = 15+20 = 35 miles.

Ai the total distance covered is 35 miles.

2.) Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial point to the final point.

here it's ==> 20-15 = 5 miles

hence, displacement = 5 miles

A baseball of radius r = 5.2 cm is at room temperature T = 20.8 C. The baseball has emissivity of ε = 0.86 and the Stefan-Boltzm
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

P = 12.37 \frac{J}{s} = 12.37 Watts

Explanation:

Previous concepts

The Thermal radiation is one of "3 mechanisms who allows to bodies exchange energy".

The thermal radiation formula is given by:

\frac{P}{A} = \epsilon \sigma T^4

Where \sigma = 5.67 x10^{-8} \frac{J}{sm^2 K^4}

If we solve for P we got:

P = A \epsilon \sigma T^4

Since we have a baseball ball considered as a sphere the superficial area is given by:

A = 4\pi r^2

Solution to the problem

And if we replace this into our equation of P we got:

P = (4\pi r^2) \epsilon \sigma T^4

And we can reorder this like that:

P = 4 \epsilon \pi \sigma r^2 T^4

We can convert the radius to meters and we got:

r= 5.2 cm*\frac{1m}{100 cm}=0.052 m

Now we can convert the temperature to Kelvin and we got:

T = 20.8 +273.15 = 293.95 K

\epsilon = 0.86 the emissivity given

And now we can replace into the formula for P and we got:

P = 4*0.86*\pi *(5.67x10^{-8} \frac{J}{s m^2 K^4}) (0.052m)^2 (293.95 K)^4

P = 12.37 \frac{J}{s} = 12.37 Watts
