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

Mama L [17]
A projectile fired upward from the Earth's surface will usually slow down, come momentarily to rest, and return to Earth. For a certain initial speed, however it will move upward forever, with its speed gradually decreasing to zero just as its distance from Earth approaches infinity. The initial speed for this case is called escape velocity. You can find the escape velocity v for the Earth or any other planet from which a projectile might be launched using conservation of energy. The projectile of mass m leaves the surface of the body of mass M and radius R with a kinetic energy Ki = mv²/2 and potential energy Ui = -GMm/R. When the projectile reaches infinity, it has zero potential energy and zero kinetic energy since we are seeking the minimum speed for escape. Thus Uf = 0 and Kf = 0. And from conservation of energy,
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
mv²/2 -GMm/R = 0
∴ v = √(2GM/R) 

This is the expression for escape velocity.

Fill in the blank. When the northern hemisphere experiences autumn, the southern hemisphere experiences __________.
Helga [31]

Answer:

When the northern hemisphere experiences autumn, the southern hemisphere experiences <u><em>spring</em></u>

Explanation:

When the northern hemisphere experiences autumn, the southern hemisphere experiences <u><em>spring</em></u>

This is due to the equinoxes.  An equinox is an event that occurs twice a year. During these seasons all areas of the Earth's surface experience an equal amount of daylight and darkness. The sun is on the equator line, so the day and night in both hemispheres have the same duration. At that time the part of the Earth closest to the Sun is the equator.

The shape of the Earth means that while the spring equinox is experienced in the northern hemisphere, the autumn equinox is entered in the southern hemisphere.
