- At an instant when a soccer ball is in contact with the foot of the player kicking it, the horizontal or x component of the ball's acceleration is 810 m/s2 and the vertical or y component of its acceleration is 980 m/s2. The ball's mass is 0.45 kg. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the soccer ball at this instant?arrow_forwardThree blocks A, B, and C stand next to each other as shown in the figure. A force F with magnitude 199.4 N is applied to push block C directly and sends the blocks accelerating to the right. Let's assume there is no friction between the blocks and the ground. The mass of A, B, and C are 7, 45, and 94.7 kg, respectively. What is the force applied on block B by block C (in unit of N)?

This force obeys the equation F₂ = At², where t is time, and has a magnitude of 781.25 N when t = 1.45 s.arrow_forward
- After visiting a delicatessen in the local mall, a student takes the elevator down to the parking garage and uses a spring scale to "weigh" his pastrami sandwich. At a certain instant of time, the elevator, student and sandwich are moving down at a speed of 2.00 m s² 1.00 m/s, and speeding up at a rate of At this instant of time, the spring scale reading is 5.60 N. 24. The weight of the pastrami sandwich is equal to C. 4.65 N. A. 5.60 N. В. 6.74 N. D. 7.04 N. E. 6.24 N. 25. The resultant force acting on the sandwich is equal to A. 1.27 N up. B. 1.44 N down.

One block has mass m1 and the other has mass m2, where m2 > m1. The two blocks are released from rest, and the block with mass m2 moves downward 5.00 m in 2.00 s after being released. While the blocks are moving, the tension in the rope is 16.0 N. Calculate m1 and m2.arrow_forwardA ball of mass m = 1.55 kg is released from a height of h = 2.8 m into a tank of water.

- Two boxes are at rest on a smooth, horizontal surface. The boxes are in contact with one another. If box 1 is pushed with a force of magnitude F = 12.6 N, the contact force between the boxes is 9.00 N; if, instead, box 2 is pushed with the force F, the contact force is 3.60 N.
