Your body is pushing down on a chair because it is being attracted by gravity, the reason that your body is not moving down because there is a normal force acting on your body; together the net force of weight (m*g) and normal force is equal to zero
Answer:
2.5m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of car = 2000kg
Force produced by the car = 5000N
Unknown:
Acceleration of the car = ?
Solution:
According to Newton's second law of motion, Force is a product of mass and acceleration.
Force = mass x acceleration
Now, insert the parameters and find the unknown;
5000 = 2000 x acceleration
Acceleration =
= 2.5m/s²
Answer:
Change in momentum, 
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the basketball, m = 601 g = 0.601 kg
The basketball makes an angle of 29 degrees to the vertical, it hits the floor with a speed, v = 6 m/s
It bounces up with the same speed, again moving to the right at an angle of 29 degree to the vertical. We need to find the change in momentum. It is given by :




So, the change in momentum of the basketball is 6.3 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
7kgm/s
Explanation:
Using the law of conservation of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision.
Let P1A and P1B be the initial momentum of the bodies A and B respectively
Let P2A and P2B be the final momentum of the bodies A and B respectively after collision.
Based on the law:
P1A+P2A = P1B + P2B
Given P1A = 5kgm/s
P2A = 0kgm/s(ball B at rest before collision)
P2A = -2.0kgm/s (negative because it moves in the negative x direction)
P2B = ?
Substituting the values in the equation gives;
5+0 = -2+P2B
5+2 = P2B
P2B = 7kgm/s
