Question

A ball is thrown at 200 ms-2 and its mass is 0.05kg what force is necessary to change its direction?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

more than or equal to 0.05kg

Explanation:

since to change the direction we need to change it's velocity and since velocity is a vector then it doesn't mean we have to change the magnitude we have to change the direction.

You must know that mass is the measure of inertia or how much a body resists change in it's velocity.

hence we have to apply a force more than or equal to it's mass to give it an acceleration to change the direction of it's velocity.
