What are the forces that act on the ball?

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

This slide shows the three forces that act on a baseball in flight. The forces are the weight, drag, and lift. Lift and drag are actually two components of a single aerodynamic force acting on the ball. Drag acts in a direction opposite to the motion, and lift acts perpendicular to the motion

A bicyclist is travelling at 25 m/s when he begins to decelerate at -4m/s2 . How fast is travelling after 5 seconds

Umnica [9.8K]

Initial velocity (Vi) = 25 m/s

acceleration (a) = $-4 m/s^{2}$

time interval (t) = 5 sec

let us assume that final velocity after 5 sec be Vf

As acceleration is constant, we can apply the the equation of motion with constant acceleration i.e. $V_{f} = V_{i} + at$

Hence, $V_{f} = 25 +(-4)(5) = 25 -20 = 5 m/s$

so, the velocity of bicyclist will be 5 m/s after 5 sec

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

D. 4000 km

Explanation:

f = Frequency of wave that is being transmitted = 76 Hz

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of wave that is being transmitted

v = The velocity of electromagnetic waves through air = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Velocity of a wave is given by

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8}{76}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=3947368.42105\ m=3947.36842105 km\approx 4000\ km$

Hence, the approximate wavelength of the waves is 4000 km

A student is swimming south applying a force of 256 N. The water exerts a westward force of 104 N. If the student has a mass of

grigory [225]

Answer:

$a=2.9\ m/sec^2$

Explanation:

<u>Net Forces and Acceleration</u>

The second Newton's Law relates the net force $F_r$ acting on an object of mass m with the acceleration a it gets. Both the net force and the acceleration are vector and have the same direction because they are proportional to each other.

$\vec F_r=m\vec a$

According to the information given in the question, two forces are acting on the swimming student: One of 256 N pointing to the south and other to the west of 104 N. Since those forces are not aligned, we must add them like vectors as shown in the figure below.

The magnitude of the resulting force $F_r$ is computed as the hypotenuse of a right triangle

$|F_r|=\sqrt{256^2+104^2}$
