Answer:

2kg

Explanation:

According to newton's second law of motion, force is equal to the product of mass of an object to its acceleration.

Force = mass × acceleration

Given a force of 12N

Acceleration = 6m/s²

Mass = Force/acceleration

Substituting the given values in the formula above, we will have;

Mass = 12/6

Mass of the softball = 2kg

Answer:

The question to your answer is: mass = 12 kg

Explanation:

Data

Force = 12 N

acceleration = 6 m/s²

mass = ?

Formula

Force = mass x acceleration  (Newton's second law of motion)

mass = Force / acceleration

Substitution

mass = 12 N / 6 m/s²

mass = 12 kg result

A force of F = (2.00ˆi + 3.00ˆj) N is applied to an object that is pivoted about a fixed axle aligned along the z coordinate axi
Vladimir [108]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force applied to object, F=(2i+3j)\ N

Position, r=(4i+5j)\ m  

(b) The cross product of force and position vector is used to find the net torque about the z axis. It is given by :

\tau=F\times r

\tau=(2i+3j) \times (4i+5j)

\tau=\begin{pmatrix}0&0&-2\end{pmatrix}

or

\tau=(-2k)\ N-m

The torque is acting in -z axis.

(a) The magnitude of torque is given by :

|\tau|=\sqrt{(-2)^2}

|\tau|=2\ N-m

Hence, this is the required solution.

A proton, an alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus), and a singly ionized helium atom are accelerated through a potential differ
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The correct question is:

"Find the energy each gains"

The energy gained by a charged particle accelerated through a potential difference is given by

\Delta U = q\Delta V

where

q is the charge of the particle

\Delta V is the potential difference

For a proton,

q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

And since \Delta V=100 V

The energy gained by the proton is

\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J

For an alpha particle,

q=+2e=3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C

Therefore, the energy gained is

\Delta U=(3.2\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=3.2\cdot 10^{-17}J

Finally, for a singly ionized helium nucleus (a helium nucleus that has lost one electron)

q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

So the energy gained is the same as the proton:

\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J
