A force causes a mass of 4 kg to have an acceleration of 8 m/s2. Suppose something causes the mass to be one-quarter of its orig

inal amount. What will happen to the acceleration if the amount of force used remains the same?

Explanation:

From Newton's second law:

F = ma

Given that m = 4 kg and a = 8 m/s²:

F = (4 kg) (8 m/s²)

F = 32 N

If m is reduced to 1 kg and F stays at 32 N:

32 N = (1 kg) a

a = 32 m/s²

So the acceleration increases by a factor of 4.

A 0.10-kg ball, traveling horizontally at 25 m/s, strikes a wall and rebounds at 19 m/s. What is the 7) magnitude of the change
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Change in momentum will be -4.4 kgm/sec

So option (A) is correct option

Explanation:

Mass of the ball is given m = 0.10 kg

Initial velocity of ball v_1=25m/sec

And velocity after rebound v_2=-19m/sec

We have to find the change in momentum

So change in momentum is equal to =m(v_2-v_1)=0.1\times (-19-25)=-4.4kgm/sec ( here negative sign shows only direction )

So option (A) will be correct answer

A stone is thrown with an initial speed of 12 m/s at an angle of 30o above the horizontal from the top edge of a cliff. If it ta
kherson [118]

Answer:

d=58m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Initial Speed U=12m/s

Time T=5.6s

Angle \theta=30

Generally the  Newton's equation for motion is mathematically given by

d=d'+ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

d=12cos30*5.6

d=58m

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high .
Harman [31]

Answer: Due that we don't know the initial speed after hitting the ball, we are going to accept that the ball goes up for half of the time and then falls during other half part, that is 3.0 seconds each. Then we know that ball's movement is ruled by the acceleration of gravity formula, as follows: H = Vi * T + 1/2 * g * T^2 V = Vi + g * T where: H is height, Vi initial speed, g gravity acceleration and T time When we only consider the second half of the trajectory, we have that initial speed at the top of that movement is zero, because ball goes up till top, where stops and starts to go down, so : H = 0 * 3 + 1/2 * 32 * 3^2 = 144 ft. So the height of the pop-up is 144 feet.

Which equation is used to calculate the electric potential in an electric field from a point charge?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The electric potential (voltage) V produced by a point charge Q, at any point in space, is given by the following equation:

V=k\frac{Q}{r}

Where:

k=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} is the Coulomb's constant

r is the distance  

The result is a scalar quantity, is defined as the electric potential energy per unit of charge and determines the electric influence exerted by the charge on that point of space.
