Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

Hope this help

A very hard rubber ball (m = 0.5 kg) is falling vertically at 4 m/s just before it bounces on the floor. The ball rebounds back
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The force exerted by the floor is 80 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ball = 0.5 kg

Velocity= 4 m/s

Time t = 0.05 s

When the ball rebounds then the kinetic energy is

K.E =\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Where, m = mass of ball

v = velocity of ball

Put the value into the formula

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.5\times(4)^2

K.E = 4\ J

The average force exerted by the floor on the ball = change in kinetic energy over collision time

F = \dfrac{4}{0.05}

F=80\ N

Hence, The force exerted by the floor is 80 N.
