Answer:

Tha ball- earth/floor system.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ball is the force of gravity when ignoring air resistance. At the moment the player releases the ball, until it reaches the top of its bounce, the small system for which the momentum is conserved is the ball- floor system. The balls exerts and equal and opposite force on the floor. <u>Here the ball hits the floor, because in any collision the momentum is conserved. Moment of the ball -floor system is conserved</u>. Mutual gravitation bring the ball and floor together in one system. As the ball moves downwards, the earth moves upwards, although with an acceleration on the order of 1025 times smaller than that of the ball. The two objects meet, rebound and separate.

An electron accelerated from rest through a voltage of 780 v enters a region of constant magnetic field. part a part complete if
maxonik [38]
The electron is accelerated through a potential difference of \Delta V=780 V, so the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its variation of electrical potential energy:
\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =  e \Delta V
where
m is the electron mass
v is the final speed of the electron
e is the electron charge
\Delta V is the potential difference

Re-arranging this equation, we can find the speed of the electron before entering the magnetic field:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2 e \Delta V}{m} } = \sqrt{ \frac{2(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(780 V)}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s


Now the electron enters the magnetic field. The Lorentz force provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular orbit:
evB=m \frac{v^2}{r}
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field and r is the orbital radius. Since the radius is r=25 cm=0.25 m, we can re-arrange this equation to find B:
B= \frac{mv}{er}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg)(1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(0.25 m)} =3.8 \cdot 10^{-4} T

How much force is required to accelerate a 12 kg mass at 5 m/s 2
Savatey [412]

Answer:

60 N

Explanation:

This is just Newton's Second Law

F = m*a

F = ?

m = 12 kg

a = 5 m/^2

F = 5*12 = 60 Newtons

two forces 3N and 4N act on a body in a direction due north and due East respectively calculate their equivalent​
Lostsunrise [7]

Two forces 3N and 4N act on a body in a direction due north From East, the equilibrant's angle is given by \theta=\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}=36.8^{\circ}.

<h3>What are equilibrium and resultant force?</h3>

The equilibrium force is the balanced force when the net force acting is zero and is the exact opposite of the consequent force. The resultant force is one single force replaced by numerous forces.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

3N and 4N are the two forces pulling on a body.

The forces work along the North and the East, which are perpendicular to one another.

The resultant of the forces, which is provided by the equilibrant force,

R  = √(3)²+(4)²

R = 5N

From East, the equilibrant's angle is given by

\theta=\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}=36.8^{\circ}
