How do you mean that? (Can you draw a sketch?)How much force I would need to change its direction at 0 degree on left side & sent 20 meters?
You can't 'overpower' Kinetic Energy; whatever you may mean by it...Dastan said:Shouldn't I have to overpower the ball's KE?:hmm
To calculate the force needed to change the direction of a moving object, you will need to know the mass of the object, its initial velocity, and the angle at which you want to change its direction. You can then use the formula F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. The acceleration can be calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time it takes to make the change.
Changing the direction of a moving object refers to changing the angle at which it is moving, while changing its velocity refers to changing its speed. Both require the application of a force, but the direction change also involves a change in the direction of the force.
The mass of an object directly affects the amount of force needed to change its direction. The larger the mass, the greater the force required. This is because a larger mass has a greater inertia, meaning it is more resistant to changes in its motion.
No, changing the direction of a moving object always requires the application of a force. This is because of Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force.
Some real-life examples of changing the direction of a moving object include a soccer player kicking a ball, a car turning a corner, a tennis player hitting a backhand, and a satellite changing its orbit around a planet. In all of these situations, a force is applied to change the direction of the moving object.
