according to newton's second law , net force on an object is equal to the product of its mass and its acceleration. the formula is given as

F = ma

where F = force , m = mass  , a  = acceleration

rearranging the equation for acceleration "a" , we get

a = F/m

when force F is kept constant , the acceleration is inversely related to the mass "m".  in other words, greater the mass , smaller will be the acceleration and smaller the mass, greater will be the acceleration.

the masses of baseball, basketball,  tennis ball and bowling ball can in arranged in increasing order as

tennis ball < baseball < basketball < bowling ball.

since acceleration and mass have inverse relation from the formula , the order of the acceleration will also be reverse.

tennis ball > baseball > basketball > bowling ball.

hence the tennis ball will have the greatest acceleration as it has the smallest mass.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

1.77 x 10^-8 C

Explanation:

Let the surface charge density of each of the plate is σ.

A = 4 x 4 = 16 cm^2 = 16 x 10^-4 m^2

d = 2 mm

E = 2.5 x 10^6 N/C

ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2

Electric filed between the plates (two oppositively charged)

E = σ / ε0

σ = ε0 x E

σ = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 2.5 x 10^6 = 22.125 x 10^-6 C/m^2

The surface charge density of each plate is ± σ / 2

So, the surface charge density on each = ± 22.125 x 10^-6 / 2

                                                                 = ± 11.0625 x 10^-6 C/m^2  

Charge on each plate = Surface charge density on each plate x area of each plate

Charge on each plate = ± 11.0625 x 10^-6  x 16 x 10^-4 = ± 1.77 x 10^-8 C

Astronomers have discovered a new planet called "Xandar" beyond the orbit of Pluto (No, not really but I need a fake planet for
Burka [1]

Answer:

m = 1.82E+23 kg

Explanation:

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 N·m²/kg²

r = radius of orbit = 72,600 km = 7.26E+07 m

C = circumference of orbit = 2πr = 4.56E+08 m

P = period of orbit = 12.9 d = 1,114,560 s

v = orbital velocity of satellite Jim = C/P = 409 m/s

m = mass of Xandar = to be determined

v = √(Gm/r)

v² = [√(Gm/r)]²

v² = Gm/r

rv² = Gm

rv²/G = m

m = rv²/G

mG = universal gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 N·m²/kg²

r = radius of orbit = 72,600 km = 7.26E+07 m

C = circumference of orbit = 2πr = 4.56E+08 m

P = period of orbit = 12.9 d = 1,114,560 s

v = orbital velocity of satellite Jim = C/P = 409 m/s

m = mass of Xandar = to be determined

v = √(Gm/r)

v² = [√(Gm/r)]²

v² = Gm/r

rv² = Gm

rv²/G = m

m = rv²/G

m = 1.82E+23 kg

A quarterback throws a football at 40km/hr to a receiver 50yd away. How much time does it take the ball to reach the receiver
Akimi4 [234]

Given:

Distance = 50 yard = 45.72 meter

Speed = 40 km/hr = 11.11 m/s

To find:

Time required by ball to reach the receiver = ?

Formula used:

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Solution:

The speed of the ball is given by,

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Thus,

Time = \frac{distance}{speed}

Distance = 50 yard = 45.72 meter

Speed = 40 km/hr = 11.11 m/s

Time = 4.12 second

Hence, ball reaches the receiver in 4.12 second.

A standing wave of the third overtone is induced in a stopped pipe, 2.5 m long. The speed of sound is The frequency of the sound
NemiM [27]

Answer:

f3 = 102 Hz

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:

f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}

n: number of the harmonic = 3

vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s

L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m

You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:

f_{3}=\frac{(3)(340m/s)}{4(2.5m)}=102\ Hz

hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

1)

v_{oy}=11.29\ m/s

2)

y=7.39\ m

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

When an object is launched near the Earth's surface forming an angle \theta with the horizontal plane, it describes a well-known path called a parabola. The only force acting (neglecting the effects of the wind) is the gravity, which acts on the vertical axis.

The heigh of an object can be computed as

\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{oy}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where y_o is the initial height above the ground level, v_{oy} is the vertical component of the initial velocity and t is the time

The y-component of the speed is

v_y=v_{oy}-gt

1) We'll find the vertical component of the initial speed since we have not enough data to compute the magnitude of v_o

The object will reach the maximum height when v_y=0. It allows us to compute the time to reach that point

v_{oy}-gt_m=0

Solving for t_m

\displaystyle t_m=\frac{v_{oy}}{g}

Thus, the maximum heigh is

\displaystyle y_m=y_o+\frac{v_{oy}^2}{2g}

We know this value is 8 meters

\displaystyle y_o+\frac{v_{oy}^2}{2g}=8

Solving for v_{oy}

\displaystyle v_{oy}=\sqrt{2g(8-y_o)}

Replacing the known values

\displaystyle v_{oy}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(8-1.5)}

\displaystyle v_{oy}=11.29\ m/s

2) We know at t=1.505 sec the ball is above Julie's head, we can compute

\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{oy}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=1.5+(11.29)(1.505)-\frac{9.8(1.505)^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=1.5\ m+16,991\ m-11.098\ m

y=7.39\ m
