Answer:
a= -0.86 m/s²
The negative sign shows that ball down the ground or moving down
Explanation:
Vf² - Vo² = 2gS
where
Vf = velocity of clay as it hits the ground
Vo = initial velocity of clay = 0
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (constant)
S = distance travelled by clay = 15 m
Substituting appropriate values,
Vf² - 0 = 2(9.8)(15)
Vf = 17.15 m/sec.
Formula to use is,
V - Vf = aT
where
V = velocity of clay when it stops = 0
Vf = 17.15 m/sec (as determined above)
a = acceleration
T = 20 ms
Put the values to find acceleration
a=(V-Vf)/T
a=(0-17.15)/20
a= -0.86 m/s²
The negative sign shows that ball down the ground
<h2>since weight is measured in newtons, convert the 6 kg to newtons</h2><h3>the formula to convert is kg x 9.807 = N</h3>
hope that helps :))
