Using Newton's second law;

F = ma, where m = mass, a = acceleration or deceleration

a = Δv/t = (v-u)/t, but v= 0, u = 10 m/s, t = 1.
Then,
a = (0-10)1 = -10 m/s^2

Substituting;
F = ma = 10*-10 = -100 N

The  mattress exerts 100 N to stop the ball.

A cannonball is fired perfectly horizontally from the top of a 210 m tall cliff. It is fired with an initial velocity of 50 m/s.
pochemuha

Answer:

the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 210 m

initial horizontal velocity of the cannonball, Ux = 50 m/s

initial vertical velocity of the cannonball, Uy = 0

The time for the cannonball to reach the ground is calculated as;

h = u_yt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 210}{9.8} }\\\\t  = 6.55 \ s

The horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is calculated as;

X = U_x \times \ t\\\\X = 50 \times \ 6.55\\\\X = 327.5 \ m

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

2. An electron and a proton are separated by 5 cm:
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

a) the charge of an electron is equivalent to the magnitude of the elementary charge but barring a negative sign since the side of the elementary charge is roughly 1.602 * 10 - 19 Columbus then the charge of the electronic is-1.602 * 10 - 19

b) b=2T on the electron moving in the magnetic field

When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it<br><br>causes​
geniusboy [140]

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 0.015 A

Voltage, V = 240 volts

We need to find the resistance. Using Ohm's law we can find it as follows :

V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{240}{0.015}\\\\R=16000\ \Omega

So, When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it  causes​  16000 ohms of resistance.

Can someone give me an example or explanation of calculating energy from voltage? Many thanks!
antoniya [11.8K]
Expression to calculate energy from voltage: E= V*Q where E= energy, V= voltage, and Q= charge

Additional help:
-To find the Voltage ( V )
[ V = I x R ] V (volts) = I (amps) x R (Ω)

-To find the Current ( I )
[ I = V ÷ R ] I (amps) = V (volts) ÷ R (Ω)

-To find the Resistance ( R )
[ R = V ÷ I ] R (Ω) = V (volts) ÷ I (amps)

I hope that helps to some extent-

According to the graph, what is the motorcycle’s Average velocity ?
borishaifa [10]
According to the position vs time graph, the <em>average</em> <em>velocity</em> of the motorcycle is the change in position divided by the change in time. Also, note that the slope is linear and positive throughout the 5 hours, it doesn't change direction. 

Therefore, we have
Avg velocity = change in direction/change in time
Avg velocity = (150km - 30km)/(5h - 0h)
Avg velocity = 24km/hr south.
