A pitcher throws a softball toward home plate. When the ball hits the catcher’s mitt, its horizontal velocity is 32 meters/sec

ond. The softball’s velocity goes to 0 meters/second in 0. 8 seconds when caught. If the softball has a mass of 0. 2 kilograms, what’s the force of the impact? Use F = ma, where. The force of the impact is newtons.

The force of impact of the softball at the given conditions is 8 N.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Horizontal velocity of the ball, v = 32 m/s</em>
  • <em>Change in time of motion of the ball, Δt = 0.8 s</em>
  • <em>Mass of the ball, m = 0.2 kg</em>

The force of impact of the softball is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

F = ma\\\\F = m \times \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\\\F = 0.2 \times \frac{32 - 0}{0.8 - 0} \\\\F = \frac{0.2 \times 32}{0.8} \\\\F = 8 \ N

Thus, the force of impact of the softball at the given conditions is 8 N.

Luda [366]

Answer:

Force is repulsive hence direction of force is away from wire

Explanation:

The first thing will be to draw a figure showing the condition,

Lets takeI attractive force as +ve and repulsive force as - ve and thereafter calculating net force on outer left wire due to other wires, net force comes out to be - ve which tells us that force is repulsive, hence direction of force is away from wire as shown in figure in the attachment.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

F = 6666.7 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a chip, m = 0.1 mg

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed,v=4\times 10^{3}\ m/s

Time of collision,t=6\times 10^{-8}\ s

We know that,

Force, F = ma

Put all the values,

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.1\times 10^{-6}\times (4\times 10^3-0)}{6\times 10^{-8}}\\\\F=6666.7\ N

So, the required force is 6666.7 N.
