Answer:

0.0146 s

Explanation:

First of all, we can find the acceleration of the ball by using Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma

where:

F = -360 N is the force acting on the ball

m = 0.21 kg is the mass of the ball

a is the acceleration

Solving for a,

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{-360}{0.21}=-1714 m/s^2

Then the ball moves by uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where:

u = +25 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (it comes to a stop)

a=-1714 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t is the time it takes for the ball to stop

Solving for t,

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-(25)}{-1714}=0.0146 s

Are rocks made of matter?​
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Yes, the rocks are made of matter

Explanation:

Let's remember the definition of matter.

Matter is all that has mass and occupies a place in space. Therefore, if we measure the mass of each rock we will know its mass, the other fact is that rocks like any particular body are occupying a place in an empty space.

The opposite of this is antimatter and can its extent be given by the quantum mechanics.

A marshmallow is dropped from a 5.71 meter high pedestrian bridge, and 0.921 seconds later, it lands right on the head of an uns
Natalka [10]

let the height of the person with marshmallow on her head be "h"

consider the motion of the marshmallow after it is dropped from bridge.

Y₀ = initial position of the marshmallow above the ground = 5.71 m

Y = final position of marshmallow on head of person = h

v₀ = initial velocity of the marshmallow = 0 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel for marshmallow = 0.921 sec

Using the kinematics equation

Y = Y₀ + v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

inserting the values

h = 5.71 + 0 (0.921) + (0.5) (-9.8) (0.921)²

h = 5.71 - 4.16

h = 1.55 m

Which statements below are true?
Ilya [14]

The correct statements are that the speed decreases as the distance decreases and speed increases as the distance increases for the same time.

Answer:

Option A and Option B.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. So Speed = Distance/Time. In other words, we can also state that speed is directly proportional to the distance for a constant time. Thus, the speed will be decreasing as there is decrease in distance for the same time. As well as there will be increase in speed as the distance increases for the same time. So option A and option B are the true options. So if there is decrease in the distance due to direct proportionality the speed will also be decreasing. Similarly, if the distance increases, the speed will also be increasing.
