Given that:
Distance , s = 18.5 m
Velocity , v = 3.85 m/s
Time , t =?
Since,
Velocity = distance/time
or
Time= distance/velocity
time= 18.5/ 3.85
time= 4.8 s
So the time elapse between the release of the ball and the ball passing home plate is 4.8 seconds.
The acceleration that the same force will provide if both masses are tied together is; 6.0 m/s².
<h3>How to find the Acceleration?</h3>
We are given;
Force; F = 5 N
Acceleration of the first mass, a₁ = 8.0 m/s²
Acceleration of the second mass, a₂ = 24 m/s²
Formula for force is;
F = ma
Let us find both masses; m₁ and m₂.
m₁ = F/a₁
m₂ = F/a₂
Thus;
m₁ = 5/8 kg
m₂ = 5/24 kg
Total mass is; m = m₁ + m₂
m = 5/8 + 5/24
m = 15 + 5/24
m = 20/24 kg
Thus, acceleration if they are both tied together is;
a = F/m
a = 5/(20/24)
a = 6.0 m/s².
