The 0.15kg baseball has a speed of v=30 m/s just before it is struck by the bat. It then travels along the trajectory shown befo
notka56 [123]

The magnitude of the average impulsive force imparted to the ball if it is in contact with the bat is 6000 N

The mass of the baseball, m = 0.15 kg

The speed at which it moves, v = 30 m/s

Time at which the baseball was in contact with the bat, t = 0.75 ms

t = 0.75/1000 s

t  = 0.00075 s

The impulsive force is given by the formula:

F=\frac{mv}{t}

Substitute m = 0.15 kg, v = 30, and t = 0.00075s into the formula above:

F=\frac{0.15 \times 30}{0.00075} \\\\F=6000N

The magnitude of the average impulsive force imparted to the ball if it is in contact with the bat is 6000 N

The red light from a helium-neon laser has a wavelength of 721.4 nm in air. Find the speed, wavelength, and frequency of helium-
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

(a) the speed of helium-neon laser light in air is 3 x 10⁸ m/s

     the wavelength of helium-neon laser light in air is 721.4 nm

     the frequency of helium-neon laser light in air is 415.86 THz

(b)  the speed of helium-neon laser light in water is 2.26 x 10⁸ m/s

     the wavelength of helium-neon laser light in water is  542.4nm

     the frequency of helium-neon laser light in water is    416.67THz

(c) the speed of helium-neon laser light in glass is 2 x 10⁸ m/s

    the wavelength of helium-neon laser light in glass is  480.9nm

    the frequency of helium-neon laser light in glass is  415.88THz

From the results above, it can be seen that speed of the light is directly proportional to its wavelength, while the frequency of the light remained fairly constant for the different media.

Explanation:

Part (a) the speed, wavelength, and frequency of helium-neon laser light in air

Given;

wavelength of helium-neon laser light in air, λ = 721.4 nm

speed of light in air, v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

v = f λ

where;

f is the frequency of helium-neon laser light in air

f = \frac{v}{\lambda} = \frac{3*10^8}{721.4 *10^{-9}} =4.1586*10^{14} \ Hz

f = 415.86 THz

Part (b) the speed, wavelength, and frequency of helium-neon laser light in water

refractive index of water = 1.33

Refractive \ index \ of \ water =\frac{speed \ of \ light \ in \ air}{speed \ of \ light \ in \ water} = \frac{wavelength \ of \ light \ in \ air}{wavelength \ of \ light \ in \ water}

speed \ of \ light \ in \ water = \frac{speed \ of \ light \ in \ air}{Refractive \ index \ of \ water} \\\\speed \ of \ light \ in \ water = \frac{3*10^8}{1.33} = 2.26 *10^8 \ m/s

Again;

wavelength \ of \ light \ in \ water = \frac{wavelength \ of \ light \ in \ air}{Refractive \ index \ of \ water} \\\\wavelength \ of \ light \ in \ water = \frac{721.4 \ nm}{1.33} = 542.4 \ nm

f = \frac{v}{\lambda} = \frac{2.26*10^8}{542.4 *10^{-9}} =4.1667*10^{14} \ Hz

f = 416.67 THz

Part (c) the speed, wavelength, and frequency of helium-neon laser light in glass

Refractive index of glass = 1.5

speed \ of \ light \ in \ glass = \frac{speed \ of \ light \ in \ air}{Refractive \ index \ of \ glass} \\\\speed \ of \ light \ in \ glass = \frac{3*10^8}{1.5} = 2 *10^8 \ m/s

Also;

wavelength \ of \ light \ in \ glass = \frac{wavelength \ of \ light \ in \ air}{Refractive \ index \ of \ glass} \\\\wavelength \ of \ light \ in \ glass = \frac{721.4 \ nm }{1.5} = 480.9 \ nm

f = \frac{v}{\lambda} = \frac{2*10^8}{480.9 *10^{-9}} =4.1588*10^{14} \ Hz

f = 415.88 THz

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

vf = 14.2176 m/s

Explanation:

Given

m = 4 Kg

viy = 7.00 ĵ m/s

Fx = 11.0 î N

t = 4.5 s

vf = ?

Using the Impulse - Momentum Theorem, we have

F*Δt = m*Δv    ⇒  F*Δt = m*(vf - vi)

⇒    vf = (F*Δt + m*vi) / m

⇒    vf = (F*Δt + m*vi) / m

For <em>x-component</em>

⇒    vfx = (Fx*Δt + m*vix) / m = (11 N*4.5 s + 4 Kg*0 m/s) / (4 Kg)

⇒    vfx = 12.375 î m/s

For <em>y-component</em>

⇒    vfy = (Fy*Δt + m*viy) / m = (0 N*4.5 s + 4 Kg*7 m/s) / (4 Kg)

⇒    vfy = 7 ĵ m/s

Finally:

vf = √(vfx² + vfy²)

⇒   vf = √((12.375 m/s)² + (7 m/s)²)

⇒   vf = 14.2176 m/s
