Answer:
280 N
Explanation:
Applying Newton's third second law of motion,
F = m(v-u)/t................... Equation 1
Where F = Magnitude of the average force on the ball during contact, v = final velocity of the ball, u = initial velocity of the ball, t = time of contact of the ball and the wall.
Note: Let the direction of the initial velocity of the ball be positive
Given: m = 4 kg, u = 3.0 m/s, v = -4.0 m/s (bounce off), t = 0.1 s
Substitute into equation 1
F = 4(-4-3)/0.1
F = 4(-7)/0.1
F = -28/0.1
F = -280 N.
Note: The negative sign tells that the force on the ball act in opposite direction to the initial motion of the ball
It's 3.6 meters per second less than my speed was
at 4:19 PM last Tuesday.
Does that tell you anything ?
Why not ?
Theyre all in constant motion
