help with a few questions? i will fan and medal

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, how much force must be applied to a 0.145 kg baseball for it to travel at 38 m/s²? A. F = mv; therefore, it would take 5.5 N of force. B. F = mg; therefore, it would take 1.42 N of force. C. F = ma; therefore, it would take 5.5 N of force. D. F = ma-mg; therefore, it would take 4.0N of force.

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

i got c

OpenStudy (tygrr321):

i havent worked on this yet srry

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

okay

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yes, Newton's second law says F=ma. Btw, @isuckatschool43 it doesn't hurt to repeat the answer instead of writing the letter (c). It helps you remember the correct information.

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

okay thanks. i have a couple more. can you help?

@mathmate A handball player hit a ball with a mass of 0.25 kg. The ball travels at a velocity of 15 m/s for 0.75 s until it hits the wall. What was the average acceleration of the handball? A. 20 m/s² B. 0.05 m/s C. 20m/s D. 0.05 m/s² i got a - 20m/s^2

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The question is ambiguous to me. There is a short instance where the ball accelerates (while in contact with the racket). The question does not say if the ball was stationary (unlikely) at the beginning, since the average acceleration is different if the ball was travelling towards the racket, or was stationary.

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

do we have to consider that factor to get the final answer?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yes, but there is insufficient information. I know what you have proposed is the \(intended\) answer, although I do not agree with it.

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

so without this information i will just have to go with the most likely answer

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yes...(reluctantly) lol

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

lol

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

i have 3 more i believe

A football player kicks a ball with a mass of 0.42 kg. The average acceleration of the football was 14.8 m/s². How much force did the kicker supply to the football? A. 6.22 m/s² B. 6.22 N C. 35.24 m/s² D. 35.24 N

OpenStudy (mathmate):

What is your answer?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

either c or d

OpenStudy (mathmate):

based on what? Newton's second law?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

yeah

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Do you recall what Newton's second law says?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

f=ma

OpenStudy (mathmate):

f=ma is correct.

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

i just retried it and got 6.216

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

so its b

OpenStudy (mathmate):

That is correct!

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Sorry, I will have to stop here in case it is a test!

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

its not it is just a review study guide, checking my answers to make sure i know how to do it right

OpenStudy (mathmate):

That's ok, then post the answers to the two remaining questions, I will check them in about half an hour, ok?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

okay thanks

OpenStudy (mathmate):

If you will post them here, I will bookmark this link. Otherwise you can pm me or tag me in half an hour.

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

ill tag you

OpenStudy (mathmate):

ok, ttyl!

A 2.5 kg sledge hammer hit a cement block with a force of 6.0 Newtons. How does the force the sledge hammer exerted on the cement block compare with the force the cement block exerted on the sledge hammer? A. The force the sledge hammer exerted on the cement block is equal in magnitude and in the same direction as the force the cement block exerted on the sledge hammer. B. The force the sledge hammer exerted on the cement block is greater in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force the cement block exerted on the sledge hammer. C. The force the sledge hammer exerted on the cement block is less in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force the cement block exerted on the sledge hammer. D. The force the sledge hammer exerted on the cement block is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force the cement block exerted on the sledge hammer. My answer is D

A bowling ball with a mass of 4.5 kg travels at a velocity of 37 m/s for 2.5 s until it is stopped at the end of the lane by the ball return. What additional information is required to determine the weight of the bowling ball? A. the amount of friction from the bowling lane acting on the bowling ball B. the force the bowler applied to the bowling ball C. the acceleration due to gravity acting on the bowling ball D. the speed at which the ball return captured the ball My answer is B.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The sledge hammer answer is correct thanks to Newton's third law: action equals reaction (by definition they are in opposite directions). For the bowling ball question, read-up http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/mass.html
