Which mass would have the greatest acceleration if the same unbalanced force was applied to each?

1 answer:

3 0

I don't know which masses you're looking at, so I can't describe it to you.
But whatever they look like, it would be the one with the smallest mass.
That's not necessarily the smallest one, just the one that weighs the least.

If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55.5 m/s in the opposite directi

Lelu [443]

Answer:

ΔP = 14.5 Ns

I = 14.5 Ns

ΔF = 5.8 x 10³ N = 5.8 KN

Explanation:

The mass of the ball is given as 0.145 kg in the complete question. So, the change in momentum will be:

ΔP = mv₂ - mv₁

ΔP = m(v₂ - v₁)

where,

ΔP = Change in Momentum = ?

m = mass of ball = 0.145 kg

v₂ = velocity of batted ball = 55.5 m/s

v₁ = velocity of pitched ball = - 44.5 m/s (due to opposite direction)

Therefore,

ΔP = (0.145 kg)(55.5 m/s + 44.5 m/s)

ΔP = 14.5 Ns

The impulse applied to a body is equal to the change in its momentum. Therefore,

Impulse = I = ΔP

I = 14.5 Ns

the average force can be found as:

I = ΔF*t

ΔF = I/t

where,

ΔF = Average Force = ?

t = time of contact = 2.5 ms = 2.5 x 10⁻³ s

Therefore,

ΔF = 14.5 N.s/(2.5 x 10⁻³ s)

ΔF = 5.8 x 10³ N = 5.8 KN

The velocity of a 48.0 g shell leaving a 2.95 kg rifle is 391. m/s. What is the recoil velocity of the rifle?

Monica [59]

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{ -6.36m/s}$

Use the equation:

$v_{2} = -\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} v_{1}$

Where m2 and v2 deal with the larger object, and m1 and v1 with the smaller object. Plug in the given values:

v2 = ?

m1 = 0.048 kg (converted)

m2 = 2.95

v1 = 391

$v_{2} = -\frac{0.048}{2.95} *391$

$v_{2} = -6.36m/s$

If the resultant of two velocity vectors of equal magnitude is also of the same magnitude, then which statement must be correct?

Tamiku [17]

The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°.

Why?

We can solve the problem and find the correct option using the Law of Cosine.

Let A and B, the given two sides and R the resultant (sum),

Then,

$R=A=B$

So, using the law of cosines, we have:

$R^{2}=A^{2}+B^{2}+2ABCos(\alpha)\\ \\A^{2}=A^{2}+A^{2}+2*A*A*Cos(\alpha)\\\\0=A^{2}+2*A^{2}*Cos(\alpha)\\\\Cos(\alpha)=-\frac{A^{2}}{2*A^{2}}=-\frac{1}{2}\\\\\alpha =Cos(-\frac{1}{2})^{-1}=120\°$

Hence, we have that the angle between the vectors is 120°. The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°

Have a nice day!
