Answer:

True

Explanation:

It is possible to reduce/lessen the force that is acting on an object. For example, if you were pushing on a box and wanted to push less on the box, that would be possible.

A golf club exerts an average horizontal force of 1005 N in the –x direction on a 453 grams golf ball that is initially at rest
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The impulse is 1.89 Ns and final velocity of the golf 4.17 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Given:

Average force F = 1005 N

Contact time t = 1.89 \times 10^{-3} sec

Mass of golf ball m = 453 = 0.453 kg

(a)

Impulse is given by,

   J = Ft

   J = 1005 \times 1.89 \times 10^{-3}

   J  = 1.89 Ns

(b)

For finding the final velocity,

  J = \Delta P

  J = mv

1.89 = 0.453 v

  v = 4.17 \frac{m}{s}

Therefore, the impulse is 1.89 Ns and final velocity of the golf 4.17 \frac{m}{s}

A car of mass m=1000kg is traveling at speed v and brakes. The skid marks are 20m long and the coefficient of kinetic friction i
scoray [572]

Answer:

v = 14 m/s

  = 31.3 mph

The answer would be the same if the mass of the car were 2000 kg

Explanation:

Let V be the final velocity of the car after skidding, and v be the initial velocity of the car. Let a be the acceleration of the car and Δx be the distance the car travels after applying brakes (length of the skid marks). Let Fk be the force of friction between the tyres and the road. Let N be the normal force exerted on the car and μ be the co efficient of kinetic friction.

V^2 = v^2 + 2×a×Δx

Now V, the final velocity is zero as the car stops

0 = v^2 + 2×a×Δx

v^2 = -2×a×Δx

v =√-2×a×Δx    .....*

Now applying Newton's Second Law

Fnet = m×a

-Fk = m×a

-μ×N = m×a

-μ×m×g = m×a (The mass cancels out)

a =  -μ×g

Substituting the value of a back to equation *

v = √-2×(-μ×g)×Δx  

v = √-2×(-0.5×9.8)×20

v = 14 m/s

Therefore the speed the car was travelling with v = 14 m/s

which is equal to 31.3 mph

Now if you were to change the mass of the car to 2000 kg the value for v would still be the same. As it is seen above mass cancels out so it does not influence or affect the value of the velocity obtained.

A runner achieves a velocity of 11.1 m/s, 9 sec after he begins. What is his
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

1.23 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 11.1 m/s

t = 9 s

Find: a

Equation:

v = at + v₀

Plug in:

11.1 m/s = a (9 s) + 0 m/s

a = 1.23 m/s²

The runner's acceleration is 1.23 m/s².

You accidentally drop a book down a stairwell. Assuming no air resistance, How fast will the book be moving after 1.1 second?
nlexa [21]
