Answer:
a. 20m/s
b.50N
c. Turkey has a larger mass than the ball. Neglible final acceleration and therefore remains stationery.
Explanation:
a. Given the force as 50N, times as 0.2seconds and the weight of the ball as 0.5 kg, it's final velocity can be calculated as:
Hence, the velocity of the ball after the kick is 20m/s
b.The force felt by the turkey:
#Applying Newton's 3rd Law of motion, opposite and equal reaction:
-The turkey felt a force of 50N but in the opposite direction to the same force felt by the ball.
c. Using the law of momentum conservation:
-Due to ther external forces exerted on the turkey, it remains stationery.
-The turkey has a larger mass than the ball. It will therefore have a negligible acceleration if any and thus remains stationery.
-Momentum is not conserved due to these external forces.
