The net force is 12 N to the left.
Answer:
Newton's second law of motion
Explanation:
Newton's second law of motion can be stated
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
in another form,
Force = mass * acceleration
Answer: 3.75 joules
Explanation:
Given that:
Mass of acorn = 0.300 kilograms
velocity = 5.oo m/s
Kinetic energy = ?
Since, kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, its value depends on the mass M and velocity V of the acorn.
Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2
= 1/2 x 0.300kg x (5.00m/s)^2
= 0.5 x 0.3kg x (5.00m/s)^2
= 0.15 x (5.00m/s)^2
= 3.75 joules
Thus, the kinetic energy of the falling acorn is 3.75 joules
The horizontal component of the velocity of the ball is calculated by multiplying the speed by the cosine of the given angle.
x-component of speed = (31 m/s)(cos 35°)
= 25.39 m/s
Thus, the horizontal velocity component of the ball is 25.39 m/s.
