a) 32.3 N
The force of gravity (also called weight) on an object is given by
W = mg
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
For the ball in the problem,
m = 3.3 kg
g = 9.8 m/s^2
Substituting, we find the force of gravity on the ball:
b) 48.3 N
The force applied
The ball is kicked with this force, so we can assume that the kick is horizontal.
This means that the applied force and the weight are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, we can find the net force by using Pythagorean's theorem:
And substituting
W = 32.3 N
Fapp = 36 N
We find
c)
The ball's acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law, which states that
F = ma
where
F is the net force on an object
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
For the ball in this problem,
m = 3.3 kg
F = 48.3 N
Solving the equation for a, we find
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the truck, m = 2000 kg
Initial velocity of the truck, u = 34 km/h = 9.44 m/s
Final velocity of the truck, v = 58 km/h = 16.11 m/s
(a) Change in truck's kinetic energy,
(b) Change in momentum of the truck,
Hence, this is the required solution.
