the soft ballplayer does 9876 joules of work when hitting a ball into center field. Assuming the ball landed 100 meters away from home plate, how much force did the player use to hit the ball?

Respuesta :

Answer:

F = 987600 N

Explanation:

Force Equation

F=ma

Newton's second law states that force is proportional to what is required for an object of constant mass to change its velocity. This is equal to that object's mass multiplied by its acceleration. We use Newtons, kilograms, and meters per second squared as our default units, although any appropriate units for mass (grams, ounces, etc.) or velocity (miles per hour per second, millimeters per second2, etc.) could certainly be used as well - the calculation is the same regardless.

Solve

F = m * a

F = 100 kg * 9876 m/s2

F = 987600 N

Newtons are derived units, equal to 1 kg-m/s². In other words, a single Newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared.
