Jeremy accidently dropped his toy stuffed animal from the balcony of his apartment on the fourth floor. The toy hit the ground at a velocity of 16. 0 meters/second. At impact, it took 2. 0 seconds for the toy’s velocity to reach 0 meters/second. If the toy has a mass of 0. 25 kilograms, what's the force of the impact? Use F = ma, where.

Respuesta :

Force can be defined as the energy that can change the movement of an object.by pulling the object or pushing the object.

The force of the impact is 2 Newton.

The force can be defined by the Newton's second law of motion.

[tex]F=ma[/tex]

Where [tex]F[/tex] is force, [tex]m[/tex] is the mass of the object and [tex]a[/tex] is the acceleration of the object.

Given that, the toy has a mass of 0. 25 kilograms. The toy hit the ground at a velocity of 16. 0 meters/second. It took 2. 0 seconds for the toy's velocity to reach 0 meters/second.

So the acceleration can be calculated by the formula given below.

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-v_{1}}{t}[/tex]

Where [tex]t[/tex] is time, [tex]v[/tex] is final velocity and [tex]v_{1}[/tex] is the starting velocity.

[tex]a=\dfrac{16.0-0}{2}\\\\a=8\;\rm m/s^2[/tex]

The force can be calculated by substituting the value of mass and acceleration in the above formula.

[tex]F=0.25\times8\\F=2\;\rm N[/tex]

The force of the impact is 2 Newton.
