Answer:

Force = -1161.6 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 44m/s

Distance ,s = 12.5cm to m = 12.5/100 = 0.125m

Mass = 0.15kg

To find the acceleration;

We would use the third equation of motion;

V ² = U² + 2as

0² = 44² + 2*a*0.125

0 = 1936 + 0.25a

0.25a = -1936

a = -1936/0.25

Acceleration, a = -7744m/s2

Force = mass * acceleration

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Force = 0.15 * (-7744)

Force = -1161.6 Newton

The value of its force is negative because the glove decreases the velocity of the ball.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

18.9 <em>N or </em><em>19</em><em> N </em>rounded

Explanation:

m = 0.145 kg

a = 130 m/s^2

F = ma = (0.145 kg)(130 m/s^2) = 18.9 <em>N</em>

An amateur golfer swings a golf club, striking a golf ball that has a mass of 55.0 g. The club is in contact with the ball for o
Rudiy27

Answer:

The average force ≅ 519.44 N.

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum of a body

i.e Ft = m(v - u)

where F is the force, t is the time, m is the mass of the body, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.

m = 55.0 g (0.055 Kg), t = 0.00360 s, v = 34.0 m/s, since the ball was initially at rest; u = 0 m/s

So that,

F x 0.00360 = 0.055(34 - 0)

F x 0.00360 = 0.055 x 34

                    = 1.87

F = \frac{1.87}{0.0036}

 = 519.4444

The average force exerted on the ball by the club is approximately 519.44 N.

There are 5510 lines per centimeter in a grating that is used with light whose wavelegth is 467 nm. A flat observation screen is
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

1.696 nm

Explanation:

For a diffraction grating, dsinθ = mλ where d = number of lines per metre of grating = 5510 lines per cm = 551000 lines per metre and λ = wavelength of light = 467 nm = 467 × 10⁻⁹ m. For a principal maximum, m = 1. So,

dsinθ = mλ = (1)λ = λ

dsinθ = λ

sinθ = λ/d.

Also tanθ = w/D where w = distance of center of screen to principal maximum and D = distance of grating to screen = 1.03 m

From trig ratios 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ

1 + (1/tan²θ) = 1/(sin²θ)

substituting the values of sinθ and tanθ we have

1 + (D/w)² = (d/λ)²

(D/w)² = (d/λ)² - 1

(w/D)² = 1/[(d/λ)² - 1]

(w/D) = 1/√[(d/λ)² - 1]

w = D/√[(d/λ)² - 1] = 1.03 m/√[(551000/467 × 10⁻⁹ )² - 1] = 1.03 m/√[(1179.87 × 10⁹ )² - 1] = 1.03 m/1179.87 × 10⁹  = 0.000848 × 10⁻⁹ = 0.848 × 10⁻¹² m = 0.848 nm.

w is also the distance from the center to the other principal maximum on the other side.

So for both principal maxima to be on the screen, its minimum width must be 2w = 2 × 0.848 nm = 1.696 nm

So, the minimum width of the screen must be 1.696 nm
