Answer:

The unbalanced force that caused the ball to stop was friction

Explanation:

As Newton's second law states, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied on the object:

$F=ma$

therefore, in order to move at constant speed, an object should have a net force of zero (balanced forces) acting on it.

In this case, the ball slows down and eventually comes to a stop: it means that the ball is decelerating, so there are unbalanced forces (net force different from zero) acting on it. The unbalanced force acting on the ball is the friction: friction is a force against the motion of the object, which is due to the contact between the surface of the ball and the surface of the street, and this force is responsible for slowing down the ball.

A 5,000 kg satellite is orbiting the Earth in a circular path. The height of the satellite above the surface of the Earth is 800

Arada [10]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

m = 5000 kg, h = 800 km = $0.8 \times 10^{6} m$

$R_{e} = 6.37 \times 10^{6} m$ , r = R + h = $7.17 \times 10^{6} m$

$M_{e} = 5.98 \times 10^{24}$ kg, G = $6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$

As we know that,

$\frac{mv^{2}}{r} = \frac{GmM_{e}}{r^{2}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{2}}}$

And, it is known that formula to calculate angular velocity is as follows.

$\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{3}}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{3}}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} \times 5.98 \times 10^{-24} kg^{-2}}{(7.17 \times 10^{6} m)^{3}}}$

= $1.0402 \times 10^{-3} rad/s$

Thus, we can conclude that speed of the satellite is $1.0402 \times 10^{-3} rad/s$ .

a skier is gliding along 3.0 m/s on horizontal, frictionless snow. he suddenly starts down a 10 degrees incline. his speed at th

Elza [17]

... find length
(way 1) determine acceleration using force
only force act on skier is mg vertically. spilt vector we get force along the incline = mgsin(10) and f= ma so
ma = mgsin(10) or a = gsin(10)
a (along the incline)= gsin(10) = 10sin(10) = 1.74
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
15^2 = 3^2 + 2(1.74)s
s = 62.06 m

(way 2) using conservation of energy
energy (KE+PE) on top = energy at bottom
0.5m3^2 + mgh = 0.5m15^2 +0
h (height of incline) = (112.5 - 4.5)/10 = 19.8 m
length of incline = h/sin(10) = 62.2 m ; trigonometry

... find time
s = (u+v)t/2
t = 2s/(u+v) = 2(62.2)/(3+15) = 6.91 s
