Ethel is sitting on a park bench feeding the pigeons when a child's ball rolls toward her across the grass. Ethel returns the ball to the child by hitting it with her 2.0-kg pocketbook with a speed of 20 m/s. If the impact lasts for 0.4 s, with what force does Ethel hit the ball?

100N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of pocketbook = 2kg

Velocity = 20m/s

time of impact = 0.4s

Unknown:

Force Ethel hits the ball = ?

Solution:

The impact can be best pictured as the impulse of the ball on the pocket book. Impulse is the time taken for a force to act.

         Impulse  = Force x time

Impulse is the same as momentum;

            Momentum = mass x velocity

       therefore equating impulse and momentum;

        Force x time = mass x velocity

       Force =  = 100N

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.

the electric field is a “force field” around a charged object that illustrates the direction the electric force would push an imaginary
