A baseball collides with a baseball glove. Which equation is used to calculate the force the glove exerts on the ball during the collision?
A. Force = weight × acceleration
B. Force = mass × velocity
C. Force = mass × acceleration
D. Force = weight × velocity
To calculate the force exerted by the floor on the ball, we can use the equation:
Force = mass × acceleration
Given values:
Mass = 0.1 kg
Acceleration = 10 m/s^2
Force = 0.1 kg × 10 m/s^2
Force = 1 N
Therefore, the floor on the south end of the court exerts a force of 1 N on the ball. The correct answer is B.
C. Force = mass × acceleration
A 0.2-kilogram softball is thrown toward a catcher's mitt. The ball is accelerating at a rate of 8 meters per second squared. With what force will the ball hit the catcher's mitt?
A. 7.8 N
B. 40 N
C. 8.2 N
D. 1.6 N
To calculate the force exerted on the catcher's mitt by the ball, we can use the equation:
Force = mass × acceleration
Plugging in the given values:
Mass = 0.2 kg
Acceleration = 8 m/s^2
Force = 0.2 kg × 8 m/s^2
Force = 1.6 N
Therefore, the ball will hit the catcher's mitt with a force of 1.6 N. The correct answer is D.
A tennis player hits a 0.1-kilogram tennis ball with her racket from the north end of a court. Her racket was traveling at 65 kilometers per hour. The ball accelerated at a rate of 20 meters per second squared. The ball hits the floor on the south end of the tennis court. The floor sends the ball toward the tennis players opponent with the same acceleration. How much force did the floor on the south end of the court exert on the ball?
A. 6.5 N
B. 1 N
C. 0.01 N
D. 7.5 N
To calculate the force exerted by the floor on the ball, we can use the equation:
Force = mass × acceleration
Plugging in the given values:
Mass = 0.1 kg
Acceleration = 20 m/s^2
Force = 0.1 kg × 20 m/s^2
Force = 2 N
Therefore, the floor on the south end of the court exerts a force of 2 N on the ball. The correct answer is not provided.
A tennis player hits a 0.1-kilogram tennis ball with her racket from the north end of a court. Her racket was traveling at 65 kilometers per hour. The ball accelerated at a rate of 10 meters per second squared. The ball hits the floor on the south end of the tennis court. The floor sends the ball toward the tennis players opponent with the same acceleration. How much force did the floor on the south end of the court exert on the ball?
A. 6.5 N
B. 1 N
C. 0.01 N
D. 7.5 N
The wind blows a lawn chair that weighs 4 kg into a fence with a force of 8 N. How much reaction force does the fence exert on the chair?
A. 8 N
B. 0 N
C. 2 N
D. 0.5 N
According to Newton's third law of motion, the reaction force exerted by the fence on the chair is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the chair on the fence.
Given that the force exerted by the chair on the fence is 8 N, the reaction force exerted by the fence on the chair is also 8 N.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 8 N.
To calculate the force exerted by the glove on the ball during the collision, we need to use Newton's second law of motion, which relates force, mass, and acceleration. The equation is:
C. Force = mass × acceleration
In this case, the force exerted by the glove on the ball is determined by the mass of the ball and the acceleration applied to it during the collision.
