Answer:

280 N

Explanation:

Applying Newton's third second law of motion,

F = m(v-u)/t................... Equation 1

Where F = Magnitude of the average force on the ball during contact, v = final velocity of the ball, u = initial velocity of the ball, t = time of contact of the ball and the wall.

Note: Let the direction of the initial velocity of the ball be positive

Given: m = 4 kg, u = 3.0 m/s, v = -4.0 m/s (bounce off), t = 0.1 s

Substitute into equation 1

F = 4(-4-3)/0.1

F = 4(-7)/0.1

F = -28/0.1

F = -280 N.

Note: The negative sign tells that the force on the ball act in opposite direction to the initial motion of the ball

Why might a major volcanic eruption lead to cooler global temperatures? Explain your answer.
irina [24]

Answer:

Volcanic eruptions cool down  the planet

Explanation:

Volcanic eruptions actually cool the planet because the particles ejected from volcanoes shade incoming solar radiation. ... The small ash and aerosol particles decrease the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of the Earth and lower average global temperatures.

Hope this helps!!! :D

A man is standing on a weighing machine on a ship which is bobbing up and down with simple harmonic motion of period T=15.0s.Ass
STALIN [3.7K]

Well, first of all, one who is sufficiently educated to deal with solving
this exercise is also sufficiently well informed to know that a weighing
machine, or "scale", should not be calibrated in units of "kg" ... a unit
of mass, not force.  We know that the man's mass doesn't change,
and the spectre of a readout in kg that is oscillating is totally bogus.

If the mass of the man standing on the weighing machine is 60kg, then
on level, dry land on Earth, or on the deck of a ship in calm seas on Earth,
the weighing machine will display his weight as  588 newtons  or as 
132.3 pounds.  That's also the reading as the deck of the ship executes
simple harmonic motion, at the points where the vertical acceleration is zero.

If the deck of the ship is bobbing vertically in simple harmonic motion with
amplitude of M and period of 15 sec, then its vertical position is 

                                     y(t) = y₀ + M sin(2π t/15) .

The vertical speed of the deck is     y'(t) = M (2π/15) cos(2π t/15)

and its vertical acceleration is          y''(t) = - (2πM/15) (2π/15) sin(2π t/15)

                                                                = - (4 π² M / 15²)  sin(2π t/15)

                                                                = - 0.1755 M sin(2π t/15) .

There's the important number ... the  0.1755 M.
That's the peak acceleration.
From here, the problem is a piece-o-cake.

The net vertical force on the intrepid sailor ... the guy standing on the
bathroom scale out on the deck of the ship that's "bobbing" on the
high seas ... is (the force of gravity) + (the force causing him to 'bob'
harmonically with peak acceleration of  0.1755 x amplitude).

At the instant of peak acceleration, the weighing machine thinks that
the load upon it is a mass of  65kg, when in reality it's only  60kg.
The weight of 60kg = 588 newtons.
The weight of 65kg = 637 newtons.
The scale has to push on him with an extra (637 - 588) = 49 newtons
in order to accelerate him faster than gravity.

Now I'm going to wave my hands in the air a bit:

Apparent weight = (apparent mass) x (real acceleration of gravity)

(Apparent mass) = (65/60) = 1.08333 x real mass.

Apparent 'gravity' = 1.08333 x real acceleration of gravity.

The increase ... the 0.08333 ... is the 'extra' acceleration that's due to
the bobbing of the deck.

                        0.08333 G  =  0.1755 M

The 'M' is what we need to find.

Divide each side by  0.1755 :          M = (0.08333 / 0.1755) G

'G' = 9.0 m/s²
                                       M = (0.08333 / 0.1755) (9.8) =  4.65 meters .

That result fills me with an overwhelming sense of no-confidence.
But I'm in my office, supposedly working, so I must leave it to others
to analyze my work and point out its many flaws.
In any case, my conscience is clear ... I do feel that I've put in a good
5-points-worth of work on this problem, even if the answer is wrong .

katen-ka-za [31]

Magnetic fields

Explanation:

The presence of magnetic fields  best explains why a magnet can act a distance on other magnets or on objects containing certain metals.

  • Magnetic fields are lines of forces around a bar magnet.
  • These lines of forces attracts and repels other magnetic bodies and metallic bodies round it.
  • Magnetic lines of forces originates at the north pole and enters in the south pole.
  • Areas around a magnetic body are bounded by force fields.
  • A magnet has permanent magnetic fields round it.
