Answer:
The average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of snowballs Kg
Velocity of snowball
For finding the average force,
Force is equal to the change in momentum,
Here, final velocity is zero so we write,
Where sec
N
Above value of force is due to one ball, but here given in question there are two ball,
N
Therefore, the average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N
Answer:
b) 5 J
Explanation:
Work is the energy transferred by an object when acted by a force along a displacement. Work is the product of force and displacement. The SI unit of work is the joules (J)
To calculate the work done by the force, we have to first get the displacement (D) of the object. Hence:
Displacement (D) = Q(3, 8) - P(1, 3) = (3 - 1, 8 - 3) = (2, 5) = 2i + 5j
The work done is the dot product of the force and the displacement. Force = 5i - j. Hence:
Work done = (5i - j)(2i + 5j) = 10 - 5 = 5 J
