A softball has a mass of 0.15 kilograms. It hits a catchers glove with a force of 15 N and stops. If the direction of the ball is positive, what is the acceleration of the ball when it hits the glove? 2.25 m/s squared
-2.25 m/s squared
-100 m/s squared
100 m/s squared

-100 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ball = 0.15 Kg

Force = 15 N

Acceleration of ball = ?

Solution:

Formula:

F = m × a

a = F/m

a = 15 N/0.15 kg

N = kg m/s²

a = 15 kg m/s²/ 0.15 Kg

a = -100 m/s²

Acceleration is negative because ball is slowing down.

b. accuracy of the data matters alot more than its number of digits, organization or amount of detail. quantitative observation is more accepted than the qualitative observation.

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
