A 50 kg pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 0.15 kg. If the ball is thrown with a positive velocity of 35 m/s and there is

Andreas93 [3]

The velocity of the pitcher is <u>0.105 m/s</u> in a direction opposite to the velocity of the ball.

When no external force acts on a system, the total momentum of the system is conserved. The total initial momentum of the system is equal to the total final momentum of the system.

The pitcher and the ball are initially at rest, therefore, the total initial momentum of the system is zero.

Since no external forces act on the system comprising of pitcher and the ball, the total final momentum of the system is also equal to zero.

If the mass of the pitcher is mp and its speed is vp, the mass of the ball is mb and the ball's speed is vb, then the final momentum of the system of pitcher and the ball is given by,

$p=m_pv_p+m_bv_b=0$

Therefore,

$v_p=-\frac{m_b}{m_p} v_p$

Substituet 0.15 kg for mb, 50 kg for mp and 35 m/s for vb.

$v_p=-\frac{m_b}{m_p} v_p=-\frac{0.15 kg}{50 kg} (35m/s)=-0.105 m/s$

The pitcher has a velocity <u> 0.105 m/s</u> opposite to the direction of the velocity of the ball.

If a boat and its riders have a mass of 900 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.4 m/s how much work does sam do to stop it?

Rama09 [41]

The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is
$K_i = \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2}(900 kg)(1.4 m/s)^2=882 J$

After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is
$K_f = 0 J$
because its final velocity is zero.

For the law of conservation of energy, the work done by Sam is the variation of kinetic energy of the system:
$W=K_f-K_i =0-882 J=-882 J$
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.

The engineer of a train traveling at 30 m/sec sees a cow on the tracks. He applies the brakes and causes the train to accelerate

sineoko [7]

Answer:The train travels 105 meters after applying the brakes

Explanation:If he decelerates 1.5 every minute, then he went from 28,5 m/s, to 27.0 m/s, to 25.5 m/s, to 24.0 m/s, after 4 seconds. Add all this together and youll get 105 meters moved in 4 seconds after he hit the brakes, I dont have a notebook on me though sorry :/
