A 0.145 kg ball moving in the +x direction at 14 m/s is hit by a bat. The ball's final velocity is 20.0 m/s in the -x direction.

The bat acts on the ball for a duration of 0.010 s.
Find the average force exerted on the ball by the bat. Include the sign of the force to indicate the direction of the force.

Answer:

Approximately (-4.9\times 10^{2}\; {\rm N}) (rounded to two significant figures.)

Explanation:

The impulse \mathbf{J} on an object is equal to the change in the momentum \mathbf{p} of this object. Dividing impulse by duration \Delta t of the contact would give the average external force that was exerted on this object.

If an object of mass m is moving at a velocity of \mathbf{v}, the momentum of that object would be \mathbf{p} = m\, \mathbf{v}.

Let m denote the speed of this ball. Let \mathbf{v}_{0} denote the velocity of this ball before the contact, and let \mathbf{v}_{1} denote the velocity of the ball after the contact.

Momentum \mathbf{p}_{0} of this ball before the contact: \mathbf{p}_{0} = m\, \mathbf{v}_{0}.

Momentum \mathbf{p}_{1} of this ball after the contact: \mathbf{p}_{1} = m\, \mathbf{v}_{1}.

Impulse, which is equal to the change in momentum:

\mathbf{J} = \mathbf{p}_{1} - \mathbf{p}_{0} = m\, \mathbf{v}_{1} - m\, \mathbf{v}_{0}.

Since the velocity of the ball after the contact is in the (-x) direction, \mathbf{v}_{1} = -20.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}. The average external force on this ball would be:

\begin{aligned} \mathbf{F} &= \frac{\mathbf{J}}{\Delta t} \\ &= \frac{m\, \mathbf{v}_{1} - m\, \mathbf{v}_{0}}{\Delta t} \\ &= \frac{m\, (\mathbf{v}_{1} - \mathbf{v}_{0})}{\Delta t} \\ &= \frac{0.145\; {\rm kg} \times ((-20.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) - 14\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})}{0.010\; {\rm s}} \\ &\approx -4.9 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

(Rounded to two significant figures.)

Answer:

a=4.44\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

First we have to find the time required for train to travel 60 meters and impact the car, this is an uniform linear motion:

t=\frac{d}{v}\\\\t=\frac{60m}{30\frac{m}{s}}=2s

The reaction time of the driver before starting to accelerate was 0.50 seconds. So, remaining time for driver is 1.5 seconds.

Now, we have to calculate the distance traveled for the driver in this 0.5 seconds before he start to accelerate. Again, is an uniform linear motion:

d=vt\\d=20\frac{m}{s}(0.5s)=10m

The driver cover 10 meters in this 0.5 seconds. So, the remaining distance to be cover in 1.5 seconds by the driver are 35 meters. We calculate the minimum acceleration required by the car in order to cross the tracks before the train arrive, Since this is an uniformly accelerated motion, we use the following equation:

d=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\a=\frac{2(d-v_0t)}{t^2}\\a=\frac{2(35m-20\frac{m}{s}*1.5s}{(1.5s)^2}\\a=4.44\frac{m}{s^2}

Why would north america will not be able to view the eclipse
Flauer [41]

The North America will not be able to view the eclipse because of its location on the earth caused by the tilting of the earth.

<h3>Effect of tilting of the Earth</h3>

The tilt of the Earth is what causes seasons to occur. These are the seasons in relation to the Northern Hemisphere.

The tilting of the Earth causes the difference in the amount of sun reaching each region of the earth like in the North America continent.

Thus, the North America will not be able to view the eclipse because of its location on the earth caused by the tilting of the earth.

The Earth's place in space can be described as _________.
Olin [163]
The answer is B because if you use process of elimination, you find that A is invalid because Venus is the second planet. C is out because Mars is the 4th planet. D is out because we are nowhere  near the Andromeda Galaxy. We are millions of light years away.

How old are the hydrogen atoms in water?
topjm [15]

Answer: 4.5 billion years

Explanation:

Some of the water molecules in your drinking glass were created more than 4.5 billion years ago, according to new research.

That makes them older than the Earth, older than the solar system — even older than the sun itself.

What is efficiency of a machine?
Flura [38]
Mechanical efficiency is a measure of how well the machine converts the input work or energy into some useful output. It is calculated by dividing the output work by the input work. The ideal machine has mechanical efficiency equal to unity, while the real machine has mechanical efficiency less than unity
