So that we do not contaminate it with microorganisms or garbage or other human stuff.
We are given information:
m = 0.0450 kg
Δv = 25.2 m/s
Δt = 1.95 ms = 0.00195s
To find force we use formula:
F = m * a
a is acceleration. To find it we use formula:
a = Δv / Δt
a = 25.2 / 0.00195
a = 12923.1 m/s^2
Now we can find force:
F = 0.0450 * 12923.1
F = 581.5 N
To check the effect of the ball's weight on this movement we need to calculate it and then compare it to this force.
W = m * g
W = 0.0450 * 9.81
W = 0.44145 N
We can see that weight is much smaller than the applied force so it's influence in negligible.
Wavelength = velocity/frequency
wavelength = v/f
v= 13km/s = change this to m/s = 13000m/s
f= 14Hz
wavelength = 13000m/s÷14Hz =928.7 m
Possibilities . . .
-- nuclear reaction
-- nuclear fission
-- nuclear fusion
-- radioactive decay.
Any of these makes it a true statement.
