Calculate the average force that must be exerted on a 0.145 kg baseball in order to give it an acceleration of 130 m/s^2. (round to the nearest whole number)

Respuesta :

Answer:

18.9 N or 19 N rounded

Explanation:

m = 0.145 kg

a = 130 m/s^2

F = ma = (0.145 kg)(130 m/s^2) = 18.9 N

Magnitude of the average force

F = 18. 9 N

There are three laws of motion that are  given by  Newton in order to study the Force and Inertia on the objects in motion or rest.

Newton's First Law defines Inertia

The second law gives the definition of Force

Third law states about action reaction pairs on the objects interacting with each other.

According to Newton' s second law of motion we can write equation (1)

[tex]\rm F = ma.....(1) \\\rm Where\; F = Net\; unbalanced\; external\; force\; acting\; on \; the \; system \\\\a = acceleration \; of \; center\; of\; mass\\[/tex]

Now according to the question

we can write

Mass of the baseball = 0.145 kg

Acceleration of the baseball = 130 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]

Magnitude of the average force can be find out by putting in equation (1)

F = ( 0.145 ) ( 130) = 18.85 N [tex]\approx[/tex] 18. 9 N
