Answer:

The duration of the impact is 0.005384 seconds

Explanation:

Given

m = 0.43 kg

v = 5.2 m/s

x = 0.014 m

Knowing the formulas

v^{2}_{f} = v^{2}_{i} + 2ax\\0 = 5.2^{2}  + 2a*0.014\\a = - 965.71 m/s^{2} \\\\vf = vi + at\\0 = 5.2 + (965.71)t\\t = 0.005384 s

Answer:

5.385×10⁻³

Explanation:

First we find the acceleration

Using the equation of motion,

v² = u²+2as........................ Equation 1

Where v = Final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

make a the subject of the equation,

a = (v²-u²)/2s................. Equation 2

Given: v = 0 m/s (comes to rest), u = 5.2 m/s, s = 0.014 m

Substitute into equation 2

a = (0²-5.2²)/(2×0.014)

a = -27.04/0.028

a = -965.71 m/s²

Finally Using

a = (v-u)/t

where t = Duration of impact

make t the subject of the equation

t = (v-u)/a.................... Equation 3

Given: v = 0 m/s, u = 5.2 m/s, a = -965.71 m/s²

Substitute into equation 3

t = (0-5.2)/-965.71

t = -5.2/-965.71

t = 5.385×10⁻³ s.

Hence the duration of impact =  5.385×10⁻³

A 60.0 kg soccer player kicks a 0.4000 kg stationary soccer ball with 6.25 N of force. How fast does the soccer ball accelerate,
frozen [14]
F = ma
6.25 N = 0.4 kg · a
a = (6.25/0.4) m/s²      since N=kg·m/s²
a = 15.625 m/s² 

The answer is c) 15.6 m/s²
(Note that the mass of the soccer player is irrelevant.)

Newton's first law of motion states that an object will keep a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced f
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The unbalanced force that caused the ball to stop was friction

Explanation:

As Newton's second law states, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied on the object:

F=ma

therefore, in order to move at constant speed, an object should have a net force of zero (balanced forces) acting on it.

In this case, the ball slows down and eventually comes to a stop: it means that the ball is decelerating, so there are unbalanced forces (net force different from zero) acting on it. The unbalanced force acting on the ball is the friction: friction is a force against the motion of the object, which is due to the contact between the surface of the ball and the surface of the street, and this force is responsible for slowing down the ball.
