A ball of clay is thrown at a wall at a velocity of 28.0 m/s. After it hits the wall, it
takes 0.020 s to stop. What is the acceleration of the clay when it hits the wall?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

1400 m/s2

The acceleration of the ball when it hits the vertical wall is -1,400 m/s²

The given expression:

velocity of the ball, v = 28 m/s

time of  motion of the ball, t = 0.02 s

To find:

  • the acceleration of the ball when it hits the vertical wall.

The acceleration of the ball is calculated as follows:

[tex]acceleration = \frac{\Delta velocity}{\Delta time} = \frac{Final \ velocity\ - \ initial \ velocity }{time} \\\\final \ velocity \ of \ the \ ball \ when \ it \ hits \ the \ wall = 0\\\\acceleration = \frac{0 - 28}{0.02} \\\\acceleration = - \ 1,400 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Thus, the acceleration of the ball when it hits the vertical wall is -1,400 m/s²
