Explanation:

Linear acceleration is a type of acceleration of a body along a straight path or line.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time.

Acceleration = $\frac{Change in velocity}{time}$

There are different types of acceleration .

linear acceleration is used to describe the rate of change of velocity of a body along a straight path with time.
centripetal acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of a body traveling along a circular path with time. It is directed towards the center.
Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity.

A plant box falls from the windowsill 25.0 m above the sidewalk and hits the cement 3.0 s later. What is the box's velocity when

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

22m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity we employ the equation of free fall: v²=u²+2gh

where u is initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity h is the height, v is the velocity the moment it hits the ground, taking the direction towards gravity as positive.

Substituting for the values in the question we get:

v²=2×9.8m/s²×25m

v²=490m²/s²

v=22.14m/s which can be approximated to 22m/s

A girl throws a ball of mass 0.80 kg against a wall. The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of 25 m/s, and it bounc

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

F = 800N

the magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is 800N

Explanation:

Applying the impulse-momentum equation;

Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = m∆v

F = (m∆v)/t

Where;

F = force

t = time

m = mass

∆v = v2 - v1 = change in velocity

Given;

m = 0.80 kg

t = 0.050 s

The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of 25 m/s, and it bounces back with this same speed.

v2 = 25 m/s

v1 = -25 m/s

∆v = v2 - v1 = 25 - (-25) m/s = 25 +25 = 50 m/s

Substituting the values;

F = (m∆v)/t

F = (0.80×50)/0.05

F = 800N

the magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is 800N
