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 bat hits a moving baseball. If the bat delivers a net eastward impulse of 1.3 N-s and the ball starts with an initial horizont
Georgia [21]

Answer:

141.30grams

Explanation:

First, denote our known values;

J=1.3N-s(+,east)\\u=-3.8ms^-^1(-,west)\\v=5.4ms^-^1(+,east)\\m=?

Mass is impulse divided by change in velocity:

m=\frac{J}{v-u}\\=\frac{1.3}{5.4--3.8}\\\\=\frac{1.3}{9.2}\\=0.1413Kgs

Hence, the mass of the ball is 141.30grams

What is the magnitude of the force needed to keep a 60 newton rubber block moving across level,dry asphalt in a straight line at
pantera1 [17]

let Coefficients of Friction of Rubber on asphalt (dry) =0.7

F= Coefficients of Friction * normal force = 0.7 * 60 =42 N

so the net force of the rubber is zero, meaning it will travel at a constant speed.

When the rubber is travel at 2m/s, 42N is required to keep moving at constant speed

An object of mass 800g hangs on a spring. Calculate the force exerted by the object if acceleration due to gravity is 10/s2​
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

8 N

Explanation:

Using the equation F=ma (F: force/ m: mass  in kg/ a: acceleration),

F = (800/1000)(10)

F = 8 N

If an astronomer wants to find and identify as many stars as possible in a star cluster that has recently formed near the surfac
Andru [333]

Answer:

<em>Infrared telescope and camera</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

An infrared telescope uses infrared light to detect celestial bodies. The infrared radiation is one of the known forms of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared radiation is given off by a body possessing some form of heat. All bodies above the absolute zero temperature in the universe radiates some form of heat, which can then be detected by an infrared telescope, and infrared radiation can be used to study or look into a system that is void of detectable visible light.

Stars are celestial bodies that are constantly radiating heat. In order to see a clearer picture of the these bodies, <em>Infrared images is better used, since they are able to penetrate the surrounding clouds of dust,</em> and have located many more stellar components than any other types of telescope, especially in dusty regions of star clusters like the Trapezium cluster.
