Answer:
(a) -8064 N
(b) 8064 N
Explanation:
(a)
From Newton’s law of motion, Force, F=ma where m is mass and a is acceleration.
Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time, then where v is velocity and the subscripts f and I denote final and initial
For the first ball, the mass is 0.28 Kg, final velocity is zero since it finally comes to rest, t is 0.00025 s and initial velocity is given as 7.2 s. Substituting these values we obtain
(b)
For the second ball, the mass is also 0.28 Kg but its initial velocity is taken as zero, the final velocity of the second ball will be equal to the initial velocity of the second ball, that is 7.2 m/s and the time is also same, 0.00025 s. By substitution
Here, we prove that action and reaction are equal and opposite
