The frog's mass is m1 = 0.0280 kg, and the monster's mass is m2 = 0.0300 kg. The frog propels the monster and himself forward with a constant force of F = 0.440 N and accelerates at a constant rate of a = 2.65 m/s^2. a) What is the resistive force of the split tomato soup on the frog? b) If the frog starts at rest at one side of the bathtub and swims across its length in t = 1.91 s, how long is the bathtub? c) How much work is done by the split tomato soup on the frog?arrow_forwardAs a protest against the umpire's calls, a baseball pitcher throws a ball straight up into the air at a speed of 22.0 m/s. In the process, he moves his hand through a distance of 1.20 m. If the ball has a mass of 0.150 kg, find the force he exerts on the ball to give it this upward speed.arrow_forward
- A person catches a ball with a mass of 145 g dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His hand stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball? Assume the ball slows down with constant acceleration.arrow_forwardA box of mass 21 kg moves with a constant velocity of (4, 8, –4) m/s. Three forces are exerted on the box by objects in the surroundings. Two of these forces are F 1 = (1,0, 3) Nand É 2 = (-5, –1, 19) N. What is the third force? F3 = ( i ! )N i iarrow_forwardThree forces acting on an object are given by F₁ = (−2.2î + 6.85ĵ) N, F₂ = (4.75î – 1.25ĵ) N, and F3 = (-401) N. The object experiences an acceleration of magnitude 3.80 m/s². (a) What is the direction of the acceleration? 98.50 X Note that the direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.° (counterclockwise from the +x-axis) (b) What is the mass of the object? 9.964 kg (c) If the object is initially at rest, what is its speed after 11.0 s? 41.8 m/s (d) What are the velocity components of the object after 11.0 s?
