Newton's second law is:
F=m*a,

where a=dv/dt, so

F=m*(dv/dt)

Rearranging gives:
F*dt=m*dv.

Basic integration gives:
F*t=m(vf-v0),
where vf and v0 are the final and initial velocities of the object respectively.

In your case vf=0, because the ball stops completely, and v0=10m/s.

Rearranging the last expression gives F=(m(vf-vo))/t.

Plug in numbers to find F=(2*10)/0.03=666.6 N

Suppose that the space shuttle Columbia accelerates at 14.0 m/s2 for 8.50 minutes after takeoff.

givi [52]

Answer:

A. speed = 7.14 Km/s

B. distance = 1820.7 Km

Explanation:

Given that: a = 14.0 m/ $s^{2}$ , t = 8.50 minutes.

But,

t = 8.50 = 8.50 x 60

= 510 seconds

A. By applying the first equation of motion, the speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minutes can be determined by;

v = u + at

where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u = 0

So that,

v = 14 x 510

= 7140 m/s

The speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minute is 7.14 Km/s.

B. the distance traveled can be determined by applying second equation of motion.

s = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ a $t^{2}$

where: s is the distance, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u = 0

s = $\frac{1}{2}$ a $t^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 14 x $(510)^{2}$

= 7 x 260100

= 1820700 m

The distance that the shuttle has traveled during the given time is 1820.7 Km.

A 7.0 kg bowling ball has a moment of inertia of 2.8x10-2 kg m2, and a radius of 0.10 m. If it rolls down the lane at an angular

slega [8]

Hi there!

Angular momentum is equivalent to:

$\large\boxed{L = I\omega}$

L = angular momentum (kgm²/s)

I = moment of inertia (kgm²)

ω = angular velocity (rad/sec)

Plug in the given values for moment of inertia and angular speed:

$L = (0.028)(40) = \boxed{1.12 kgm^2/s}$

The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the gr

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

As the power lines of ground are equal, so its electrical field is perpendicular to the ground and the equipotential surface is cylindrical. Therefore, if we put the position fluorescent tube parallel to the ground so the both ends of the tube lie on the same equipotential surface and the difference is zero when its potential.

And the ends of the tube must be on separate equipotential surfaces to optimize potential. The surface near the power line has a greater potential value and the surface farther from the line has a lower potential value, so the tube must be placed perpendicular to the floor to maximize the potential difference.

Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. in other words, there is more air pushing down on you at sea level, and th

xenn [34]

<span>The expected boiling point of a substance increases with an increasing molar mass of the substance. So I would expect the lighter compounds to boil at lower temperature. Also more polar molecules tend to boil at higher temperature. Pentane is the lightest of all three compounds, so it should boil the soonest. Heptane is a lot heavier than Pentane, but slightly lighter than Heptanol. So it should boil next. Heptanol is the heaviest of all of the molecules and is also quite polar compared to heptane. So it should have the highest of all the boiling points.</span>

You have a mass of 60-kg, and you are facing your friend who has a mass of 100 kg. You skate towards

White raven [17]

Answer: My initial velocity is 5 m/s.

Explanation:

In this case, momentum can be conserved.

initial momentum = final momentum

Since both the bodies come to rest after collision,

Final momentum = 0

Let my velocity be v, and mass, m1 = 60 kg

Friend's mass, m2 = 100 kg

Friend's velocity, v2 = 3 m/s

Intial momentum = m1v + m2v2

= 60v + 300

Conserving momentum,

60v + 300 = 0

v= -5 m/s

( Negative sign indicates that me and my friend are moving in opposite directions that is towards each other)
