II Force on a tennis ball. The record speed for a tennis ball that is served is 73.14 m/s. During a serve, the ball typically st

arts from rest and is in contact with the tennis racquet for 30.00 ms. Assuming constant acceleration, what was the average force exerted on the tennis ball during this record serve, expressed in terms of the ball’s weight W?

Answer:

F=248.5W N

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma. We will use their averages always. The average acceleration the tennis ball experimented is, by definition:

a=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{v-v_0}{t-t_0}

Since we start counting at 0s and the ball departs from rest, this is just a=\frac{v}{t}

So we can write:

F=ma=\frac{mv}{t}=\frac{gmv}{gt}

Where in the last step we have just multiplied and divided by g, the acceleration of gravity. This allows us to introduce the weight of the ball W since W=gm, so we have:

F=\frac{Wv}{gt}=\frac{v}{gt}W

Substituting our values:

F=\frac{(73.14m/s)}{(9.81m/s^2)(30\times10^{-3}s)}W=248.5W N

Where the average force exerted has been written it terms of the tennis ball's weight W.

A +27 nCnC point charge is placed at the origin, and a +6 nCnC charge is placed on the xx axis at x=1mx=1m. At what position on
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The position on the x axis is 0.32 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Point charge = 27 nC

Charge = 6 nC

Distance = 1

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of electric field

\dfrac{kq_{1}}{x^2}=\dfrac{kq_{2}}{(r-x)^2}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{27\times10^{-9}}{x^2}=\dfrac{6\times10^{-9}}{(1-x)^2}

\dfrac{27}{x^2}=\dfrac{6}{(1-x)^2}

\dfrac{(1-x)^2}{x^2}=\dfrac{27}{6}

\dfrac{1-x}{x}=\sqrt{\dfrac{27}{6}}

\dfrac{1}{x}=\sqrt{\dfrac{27}{6}}+1

x=0.32\ m

Hence, The position on the x axis is 0.32 m.

What is energy converted to if it is not used to do work?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

the human body isn't very efficient at converting food into useful work. The human body is less than 5% efficient most of the time. The rest of the energy is converted to heat, which may or may not be useful, depending on how cool or warm a person wants to be.

George is applying a downward force of 50N to and object that has a mass of 50kg. What is the normal force (FN) of the object wh
attashe74 [19]

The normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction

<u>Explanation:</u>

As George is applying a downward force, the normal force will be in the upward direction. The normal force will be exerted due to the acceleration due to gravity exerted on the object.

So, as per Newton's second law, the normal force acting on the object can be measured by the product of mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object.

But as the acceleration due to gravity is a downward acting acceleration and the normal force is a upward acting force, so the acceleration will be having a negative sign in the formula.

Normal\ force = Mass \times Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity

Here, acceleration due to gravity g = -10 m/s² and mass is given as 50 kg, then

Normal force = 50 × (-10) = -500 N

So, the normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction.
