Note: 430 g = 0.430 kg (the standard mass unit is a kilogram)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First, recall that Newton's Second Law is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"F=ma\" where \"F\" is the force applied to the object, \"m\" is the mass of the object, and \"a\" is the acceleration that the the object undergoes.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since \"A 430-g soccer ball lying on the ground is kicked with a force of 800 N\", this means that \"m=0.430\" (see note above) and \"F=800\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation then becomes \"800=0.430a\" and solving for \"a\" gets us \"a=800%2F0.430=1860.4651\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the acceleration is roughly \"a=1860.4651\" meters per second squared.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now recall that one of the many kinematics equations is \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"v=v%5B0%5D%2Bat\" where \"v\" is the final velocity, \"v%5B0%5D\" is the initial velocity, \"a\" is the acceleration, and \"t\" is the time the force is applied\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So because the initial velocity is 0, this means that \"v%5B0%5D=0\". Since \"the kick lasts 0.01s\", this means that \"t=0.01\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"v=v%5B0%5D%2Bat\" Start with the given kinematics equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"v=0%2B1860.4651%280.01%29\" Plug in \"v%5B0%5D=0\", \"a=1860.4651\", and \"t=0.01\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"v=1860.4651%280.01%29\" Simplify\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"v=18.604651\" Multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"v=18.6\" Round to the nearest tenth\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the ball flies off at a speed of about 18.6 m/s\r
