## anonymous 4 years ago A T shirt launcher launches shirts at 15 m/s. If it takes 0.30 s to accelerate a 250 g shirt to launch speed, determine the force exerted on the shirt. You can assume no friction. I just need the final answer Please ! btw this is a physics question

so, let's draw a diagram first and then make a variables list. then, find whic hformula we need.

2. anonymous

ok

3. NotTim

are we doing the entire motion, or just when it initally leaves the cannon?

7. TuringTest

$F=ma=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

8. TuringTest

that's all you need, just be careful about the units

9. NotTim

sigh....turingtest beat me to the punch...

10. TuringTest

I like how you were thinking out the different factors in the question though. Props on that ;)

11. anonymous

so final answer would be 12.5 ?

12. maheshmeghwal9

12.5 newtons?????????????? I mean wt unit did u take?

13. anonymous

yea 12.5 N

14. anonymous

i did F=ma

15. maheshmeghwal9

yeah u r right then:D @sparkles

16. anonymous

F=(0.25)(50) = 12.5 N

17. anonymous

okay thanks :D

welcome:D
