How much work is done in accelerating a 2000 kg car from rest to a speed of 30 m/s?

8 0

The work done is the same as the amount of energy increase. The formula for kinetic energy is 122

What is the acceleration of a softball if it hits the ground with a force 0.50 kg and hits the catchers glove with a force of 25

Rom4ik [11]

Acceleration of the ball is $50 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball can be found by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the ball in this problem, we have

m = 0.50 kg (mass)

F = 25 N (force)

thereofre, the acceleration of the ball is

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{25}{0.50}=50 m/s^2$

What property or properties of a wave determine it's speed?

mash [69]

The properties of the wave don't determine its speed. The properties of the medium do. You can FIND the speed by measuring the wave's frequency and wavelength.
