Answer:

The magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of snowball, m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

velocity of the snowball, v = 7.5 m/s

duration of the collision between the snowball and the wall, t = 0.15 s

Magnitude of the average force can be calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

a is acceleration = v / t

a = 7.5 / 0.15

a = 50 m/s²

F = ma

F = 0.12 x 50

F = 6 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

1. How is a whistling teapot like a volcano?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Because of the build up of pressure. There is so much steam coming from such a compressed point, it’s coming out in force.

Now think of that same spot being closed, it only has one place to go but it can’t leave, so that pressure will build and build and then BOOM, it explodes.

In short, the answer is the pressure being released from a small point, and how that energy is released.

A normal walking speed is around 2.0 m/s . how much time t does it take the box to reach this speed if it has the acceleration 5
creativ13 [48]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

a=5.54m/s^2

v(final velocity)=2 m/s

v=u +at

Where v is the final velocity.

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration.

t is the time

2=0+5.54t

t=2/5.54

t=0.36 sec

If a ball rolls at constant velocity, it is rolling at constant speed? explain
Shtirlitz [24]
Velocity is speed with direction. So, if velocity varies directly with speed, that statement would be true. A constant velocity would resort in a constant speed. They are connected and are dependant on each other.

I hope this helps!
