Answer:

Explanation:

Read forces directly from the graph.

Read displacements directly from the graph.

Use the area under the graph to find the work done by the force. This is equal to the kinetic or potential energy the object gains due to the application of the force.

Two equally charged tiny spheres of mass 1.0 g are placed 2.0 cm apart. When released, they begin to accelerate away from each o

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the charge on each sphere is 0.135 μC

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 1.0

Distance = 2.0 cm

Acceleration = 414 m/s²

We need to calculate the magnitude of charge

Using newton's second law

$F= ma$

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

Put the value of F

$a=\dfrac{kq^2}{mr^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$414=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times q^2}{1.0\times10^{-3}\times(2.0\times10^{-2})^2}$

$q^2=\dfrac{414\times1.0\times10^{-3}\times(2.0\times10^{-2})^2}{9\times10^{9}}$

$q^2=1.84\times10^{-14}$

$q=0.135\times10^{-6}\ C$

$q=0.135\ \mu C$

Hence, The magnitude of the charge on each sphere is 0.135μC.

If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/sm/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55.5 m/sm/s in the opposite d

Yuliya22 [10]

Incomplete question as the mass of baseball is missing.I have assume 0.2kg mass of baseball.So complete question is:

A baseball has mass 0.2 kg.If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/sm/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55.5 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, find the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball and of the impulse applied to it by the bat.

Answer:

ΔP=20 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=0.2 kg

Initial speed Vi=-44.5m/s

Final speed Vf=55.5 m/s

Required

Change in momentum ΔP

Solution

First we take the batted balls velocity as the final velocity and its direction is the positive direction and we take the pitched balls velocity as the initial velocity and so its direction will be negative direction.So we have:

$v_{i}=-44.5m/s\\v_{f}=55.5m/s$

Now we need to find the initial momentum

$P_{1}=m*v_{i}$

Substitute the given values

$P_{1}=(0.2kg)(-44.5m/s)\\P_{1}=-8.9kg.m/s$

Now for final momentum

$P_{2}=mv_{f}\\P_{2}=(0.2kg)(55.5m/s)\\P_{2}=11.1kg.m/s$

So the change in momentum is given as:

ΔP=P₂-P₁

$=[(11.1kg.m/s)-(-8.9kg.m/s)]\\=20kg.m/s$

ΔP=20 kg.m/s

How can acceleration be described?

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The definition of acceleration is: Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.
