As a 2-kg ball rolls down a ramp, the net force on it is 10 N. What is the acceleration?

Physics

That all depends on the direction of the force. If the force is parallel to the ramp, then the acceleration of the ball is 5 m/s^2. If the force isn't parallel to the ramp, then the acceleration is less.

Why is force not on a scalar quantity??
snow_lady [41]
Because force always has a direction, it always works towards or against something.


you might know that force,
is rate of change of momentum i.e

force = m (v-u)/t
= (mv - mu )/ t


as we know momentum is a vector quantity so, the rate of change of momentum i.e Force would also be a vector quantity.




momentum = mass × velocity

velocity has a direction so,
momentum has also got a direction.
so, momentum is also a vector quantity.

Which of the following is NOT accelerating?
ivolga24 [154]
I would say the answer to your question is A Ferris wheel turning at a constant speed. The reasoning behind this answer is the fact that traveling in a constant direction at a constant speed is not accelerating. The Ferris wheel is the only option that fits this description. The last option would be incorrect due to independent causes such as speed limit changes as well as turns and stops on the highway.

Light travels from medium X into medium Y. Medium Y has a higher index of refraction. Consider each statement below:(i) The ligh
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

i) FALSE,  ii) TRUE,  iii) FALSE, iv)  FALSE

Explanation:

When light (electromagnetic radiation) travels through a material medium, its speed is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. If we define the index of parts

           n = c / v

where v is the speed of light in the material medium.

The direction of the ray can be determined by the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's apply these equations to our case where

          nₓ <n_y

i) The expression of the refractive index

          nₓ < n_y

         \frac{c}{v_x} = \frac{c}{n_y}

         v_y <vₓ

therefore the expression is FALSE

ii) If we use the law of refraction, the light, when passing from a medium with a lower start to another with a higher index, must approach the normal one, away from what would be the continuation of the path of the incident ray

so the expression is TRUE

iii) The speed of light is constant in all material media

the statement is FALSE

iv) light approaches normal

Let me clarify that the normal is a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact, not the direction of Io.

 the statement of FALSE

how fast is a ball going when it hits the ground after being dropped from a height of 16m the acceleration of gravity is 9.8
Aneli [31]

Answer:

17.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 0 m

y = 16 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2a (y − y₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (9.8 m/s²) (16 m − 0 m)

v = 17.7 m/s

The ball is moving at a speed of 17.7 m/s when it hits the ground.
