Answer:

V₂ = - m₁ V₁ / m₂

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum, "Total momentum of an isolated system remains constant. i.e

Pi = Pf

We consider ball and catapult an isolated system.

before launching ball momentum of the system is zero.

After launching ball momentum of ball is:

Pb= 0.1 * 500 = 50 kg m/s

Now according to law of conservation of momentum:

Pf = Pi

⇒ Pb + Pc = 0

Let Pb= m₁ V₁

&    Pc = m₂ V₂

So

m₁ V₁ + m₂ V₂ = 0

⇒ V₂ = - m₁ V₁ / m₂

The negative sing shows that catapult velocity will have opposite direction to the ball velocity.

Ronch [10]

The acceleration of the car is 0.8049m/s^{2}.It takes 13.802s to travel the 230 m.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

In mechanics, acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time varies. Acceleration is a vector quantity (in that they have magnitude and direction). The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it. Newton's Second Law states that the combined effect of two factors determines how much an item accelerates: 

(i) It follows that  the magnitude of the net balance of all external forces acting on the object is directly proportional to the magnitude of this net resulting force, and

(ii) the mass of the thing, depending on the materials out of which it is constructed, is inversely proportional to the mass of the thing.

Calculations:

40 km/hr ----- 11.11m/s

80 km/hr ----- 22.22m/s

v^{2} -u^{2} =2as\\22.22^{2} - 11.11^{2} = 2 x a x 230\\ 370.296=460a\\ a= 0.8049m/s^{2} \\

Time taken

v-u=at

22.22-11.11= 0.8049 x t

t=13.802s

By experiment, determine what makes a force attractive or repulsive. Describe your experiments and observations with some exampl
drek231 [11]

The charge present determines a force to be attractive or repulsive.

The charges acquired by two bodies determines the Force as Attractive Or Repulsive.

Electric Force applied due to Electrical charges is same in magnitude but opposite in direction. This corresponds this phenomenon equivalent to the Newton's Third Law.

Examples of the experiments and observations:

  • On combing hair through a comb and then keeping it close to small pieces of paper shows attraction of paper pieces towards the comb.

This occurs due to the Electric charges present in the comb that induces charge in paper pieces leading to their attraction.

  • In both Gravitational Force and Coulomb force, the force remains inversely proportional to the square of the distance following the Inverse Square Law being the Central Force system. This only differs by the fact that in Gravitational Force, masses are used and in Coulomb force, charges are used.

The more the distance between the charges, the less is the Electric Force.

The lesser the distance between the charges, the more is the Electric Force.

If both the objects are charged the same i.e. either positive or negative then the Force is Repulsive and if the charges are Oppositely charged then the force is attractive.

Hence, the charge present determines a force to be attractive or repulsive.
