Answer:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that a force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration ( F = ma ).

The football then exerts an equal amount of force in the opposite direction on the kicker's foot.

Everything in football that has a mass and acceleration will have a force.

Answer:

<h2>Part A)</h2><h2>Acceleration of the ball is 10.1 m/s/s</h2><h2>Part B)</h2><h2>the final speed of the ball is given as</h2><h2> $v_f = 35.3 m/s$ </h2>

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that drag force is given as

$F = \frac{C_d \rho A v^2}{2}$

$C_d = 0.35$

$A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

$A = \frac{\pi(0.074)^2}{4}$

$A = 4.3 \times 10^{-3} m^2$

$v = 40.2 m/s$

so we have

$F = \frac{0.35\times 1.2 (4.3 \times 10^{-3})(40.2)^2}{2}$

$F = 1.46 N$

So acceleration of the ball is

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

$a = \frac{1.46}{0.145}$

$a = 10.1 m/s^2$

Part B)

As per kinematics we know that

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 40.2^2 = 2(-10.1)(18.4)$

$v_f = 35.3 m/s$

Light propagate faster through medium “a” than medium “b”

dangina [55]

1) Medium "b" has more optical density

2) Light must hit the interface between the two mediums perpendicularly

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when light propagates from a medium into a second medium.

The optical density of a medium is given by its index of refraction, which is defined as:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in a medium

Higher index of refraction means higher optical density, and light propagater slower into a medium with higher optical density.

In this problem, light propagates faster through medium "a" than medium "b": this means that medium "a" has lower refractive index of medium "b", and so "b" has more optical density.

We can answer this part by referring to Snell's law, which gives the relationship between the direction of the incident ray and of the refracted ray when light passes through the interface between two media:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

$n_1, n_2$ are the index of refraction of the two mediums

$\theta_1, \theta_2$ are the angle of incidence and of refraction (the angle that light makes with the normal to the surface in medium 1 and medium 2)
