Answer: catching the ball is a better choice.

Explanation:

The collision of 2 objects involves involves large impact force since the force is inversely proportional to the time in which the momentum of the object changes.

Mathematically

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

If we catch the ball we increase the time in which the momentum of the ball is decreased thus the impact force that acts on us is lower as larger time is allowed for the ball to decrease it's momentum.

If we allow the ball to hit us the momentum of the ball changes in a short period of time thus applying a large impact force on our body thus increasing the chances of toppling.

REY [17]

Answer:

See the answers below

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

<u>First case</u>

Vf = 6 [m/s]

Vo = 2 [m/s]

t = 2 [s]

6=2+a*2\\4=2*a\\a=2[m/s^{2} ]

<u>Second case</u>

Vf = 25 [m/s]

Vo = 5 [m/s]

a = 2 [m/s²]

25=5+2*t\\t = 10 [s]

<u>Third case</u>

Vo =4 [m/s]

a = 10 [m/s²]

t = 2 [s]

v_{f}=4+10*2\\v_{f}=24 [m/s]

<u>Fourth Case</u>

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

v_{f}=5+8*10\\v_{f}=85 [m/s]

<u>Fifth case</u>

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

8=v_{o}+4*2\\v_{0}=8-8\\v_{o}=0

Two flat 4.0 cm × 4.0 cm electrodes carrying equal but opposite charges are spaced 2.0 mm apart with their midpoints opposite ea
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

1.77 x 10^-8 C

Explanation:

Let the surface charge density of each of the plate is σ.

A = 4 x 4 = 16 cm^2 = 16 x 10^-4 m^2

d = 2 mm

E = 2.5 x 10^6 N/C

ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2

Electric filed between the plates (two oppositively charged)

E = σ / ε0

σ = ε0 x E

σ = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 2.5 x 10^6 = 22.125 x 10^-6 C/m^2

The surface charge density of each plate is ± σ / 2

So, the surface charge density on each = ± 22.125 x 10^-6 / 2

                                                                 = ± 11.0625 x 10^-6 C/m^2  

Charge on each plate = Surface charge density on each plate x area of each plate

Charge on each plate = ± 11.0625 x 10^-6  x 16 x 10^-4 = ± 1.77 x 10^-8 C

HELP ASAP TIMER
devlian [24]

Answer:

b  Use a balance to determine the mass of the car. Use a motion sensor to measure the speed of the car at a time of 0s and at time of 5s .

Explanation:

The right way to measure the net force on the car is take the measurement of its mass then find the speed of the car within the time 0s to 5s.

This is because the net force acting on car is given as;

   Force  = mass x acceleration

By using the balance, the mass is determine

 Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

     Acceleration  = \frac{v - u}{t}  

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

  Now,

         Force  = mass x  \frac{v - u}{t}
