The momentum of the water balloon at the given speed is 7.2 kgm/s.

The given parameters:

Speed of the water balloon, v = 18 m/s
Mass of the balloon, m = 0.4 kg

The momentum of the water balloon is calculated as follows;

P = mv

Substitute the given values of mass and velocity as follows;

P = 0.4 x 18

P = 7.2 kg m/s.

Thus, the momentum of the water balloon at the given speed is 7.2 kgm/s.

Work = force * distance
force = 100 N
Distance = 5m
work =100 N* 5m
=500 J

Answer:

$6.5\; {\rm N}$ .

Explanation:

When an object travel at a speed of $v$ in a circle of radius $r$ , the (centripetal) acceleration of that object would be $a = (v^{2} / r)$ .

In this question, the ball is travelling at $v = 3\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ in a circle of radius $r = 1.8\; {\rm m}$ . The (centripetal) acceleration of this ball would be:

$\begin{aligned} a &= \frac{v^{2}}{r} \\ &= \frac{(3\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})^{2}}{1.8\; {\rm m}} \\ &= 5\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}\end{aligned}$ .

By Newton's Laws of Motion, for an object of mass $m$ , if the acceleration of that object is $a$ , the net force on that object would be $m\, a$ . Since the acceleration of this ball is $a = 5\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ , the net force on this ball would be:
