Hi, I have a question if I calculate the average force that must be exerted on a 0.145 kg baseball for me to give it an accelera

tion of 130 m/s2. How would I get I get the acceleration would I divide 130 by 0.145 kg to get the acceleration?

Newton’s Second Law: Force = mass times acceleration.

F = 0.145 * 130

You would multiply to find the force required, not divide. Hope this helps!

A force F acts in the forward direction on a cart of mass m. A friction force ff opposes this motion. Part A Use Newton's second
stellarik [79]

Answer:

a = F-ff/m

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion which states that "the rate of change in momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force F and acts in the direction of the force.

Mathematically;

F = ma

Since two forces acts on the cart i.e the moving force F and the frictional force Ff , we will take the sum of the forces.

∑F = ma where

m is the mass of the cart

a is its acceleration

∑F = F+(-ff )(since frictional force is an opposing force)

F - ff = ma

Dividing both sides by mass m

a = F-ff/m

What is the frequency of an x- ray if the wavelength is 4.5 E - 10m?
AnnZ [28]
V (speed) = F (frequency) x Wavelength
If we rearrange the formula, making frequency the subject;
F (frequency) = Speed ÷ Wavelength
F = 300,000 m\s x 4.5 e -10m
F = 0.08810409956 Hz

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu
ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}

     1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight  and the above equation will be as follows.

   (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}

         v = sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}

           = 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

2.) The lob in tennis is an effective tactic when your opponent is near the net. It consists of lofting the ball over his/her he
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The minimum average speed the opponent must move so that he is in position to hit the ball is approximately 5.79 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the ball are;

The initial speed of the ball = 15 m/s

The direction in which the ball is launched = 50° above the horizontal

The location of the other tennis player when the ball is launched = 10 m from the ball

The time at which the other tennis player begins to run = 0.3 seconds after the ball is launched

The height at which the ball is hit back = 2.1 m above the height from which the ball is launched

The vertical position, 'y', at time, 't', of a projectile motion is given as follows;

y = (u·sinθ)·t - 1/2·g·t²

When y = 2.1 m, we have;

2.1 = (15·sin(50°))·t - 1/2·9.8·t²

∴ 4.9·t² - (15·sin(50°))·t + 2.1 = 0

Solving with the aid of a graphing calculator function, we get;

t = 0.199776187257 s or t = 2.14525782198 s

Therefore, the ball is at 2.1 m above the start point on the other side of the court at t ≈ 2.145 seconds

The horizontal distance, 'x', the ball travels at t ≈ 2.145 seconds is given as follows;

x = u × cos(50°) × t = 15 × cos(50°) × 2.145 ≈ 20.682 m

The horizontal distance the ball travels at t ≈ 2.145 seconds, x ≈ 20.682 m

Therefore, we have;

The time the other player has to reach the ball, t₂ =2.145 s - 0.3 s ≈ 1.845 s

The distance the other player has to run, d = 20.682 m - 10 m = 10.682 m

The minimum average speed the other player has to move with, v_s = d/t₂

∴ v_s = 10.682 m/(1.845 s) ≈ 5.78970189702 m/s ≈ 5.79 m/s

The minimum average speed the opponent must move so that he is in position to hit the ball, v_s ≈ 5.79 m/s.
