Answer:

25lb

Explanation:

You haven't changed (you are made up of the same atoms), but the force exerted on you is different. Physicists like to say that your mass hasn't changed, only your weight.

force of a tennis ball

for a top player,a tennis ball may leave the racket on the with a speed of 55m/s(about 120mi/h).if the ball has a mass of 0.060kg and is in contact with the racket for about 4ms(4×10)s.estimate the average force on the ball

A negative ion of charge -2e is located at the origin and a second negative ion of charge -3e is located nearby at x = 3.8 nm ,

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

$\vec{F}_{21}=-5.63\times 10^{-11}N\\\\\vec{F}_{21}=\\$

Explanation:

Given that

$Q_1 = -2e\, C\\\\Q_2=-3e\,C\\\\x= 3.8 \times 10^{-9}\,m\\\\y= 3.2 \times 10^{-9}\,m\\\\r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\r= 4.96\times 10^{-9} m\\$

As both charges are negative so there exist force of repulsion in direction as shown in figure.

$F_{12}=\frac{kQ_1Q_2}{r^2}\\\\F_{12}= \frac{(9\times 10^9)(6)(1.602\times 10^{-19})^2}{(4.96\times 10^{-9})^2}\\\\F_{12}=5.63\times 10^{-11}N$

Angle at which force F12 is acting is

$\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{3.2}{3.8}\\\\\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}\\\\\theta= 40.1^o$

$F_{x}=F_{12}cos\theta\\\\F_{x}=(5.63\times 10^{-11})cos(40.1)\\\\F_{x}=4.306\times 10^{-11}N\\\\F_{y}=F_{12}sin\theta\\\\F_{y}=(5.63\times 10^{-11})sin(40.1)\\\\F_{y}=3.62\times 10^{-11}N\\\\$
