The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
This is a defective, misleading question, and should never be asked in a Physics class.
There is no such thing as the force due to the impact.
If you know how long it takes the clam to stop once it begins to hit the dirt,
then you can calculate the impulse transferred to it, and tease a force out
of that. But the question doesn't give us the time.
It depends on the material of the surface. Was the clam dropped onto dirt ?
Into a dumpster ? Onto grass ? Concrete ? Styrofoam ? Mud ? The answer
is different in each case, and we still need to know the short length of time
AFTER it first encountered whatever surface brought it to rest.
I would kick this question back to the Physics teacher. It's meaningless,
and the longer you try to work on it, the more nonsense you'll plant into
your head that'll need to be dug out later.
They are called mechanical waves
Answer:
Force F = 69.35 N
Explanation:
given data
Ball Initial speed u = 0
Ball Final speed v = 42.1 m/s
average power generate = 2920 W
solution
Power generate is express as
P= ..............1
here W is work done and t is time
and work w = F × d
so
P=
and we know speed v =
so here
Power P = F × v
put here value and we get force
Force F =
Force F = 69.35 N
