time=distance/speed

1.6/100 secs = 0.016secs=16millisecs

It feels better to catch a hard ball while wearing a padded glove than to catch it bare handed. use the ideas of momentum and im
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Let's say the pitcher is angry or just has a really heavy hand while throwing this ball, and now you have to catch it, otherwise it's going to ram into your face. When you put your hands up just in time to catch this ball, this is called impulse, or commonly expressed as a reflex. Depending on what kind of ball is being thrown, such as a golf ball, baseball, basketball, beach-ball, rubber-ball, baseball, etc. ... the weight of the ball itself is going to impact how much it i going to hurt when you catch it without any hand protection. However, if you're catching, let's say a baseball, with a padded glove, it is not going to hurt as bad as catching the baseball bare handed, because the padded glove has enough padding in it to create a barrier between the skin of your hand and the palm of the glove.

A car starts out traveling at 35 m/s. The car hits the brakes and decelerates at a rate of 3 m/s^2 for 5 seconds. What Distance
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Answer:

Time needed: 2.5 s
Distance covered: 31.3 m

Explanation:

I'll start with the distance covered while decelerating. Since you know that the initial speed of the car is 15.0 m/s, and that its final speed must by 10.0 m/s, you can use the known acceleration to determine the distance covered by

v2f=v2i−2⋅a⋅d

Isolate d on one side of the equation and solve by plugging your values

d=v2i−v2f2a

d=(15.02−10.02)m2s−22⋅2.0ms−2

d=31.3 m

To get the time needed to reach this speed, i.e. 10.0 m/s, you can use the following equation

vf=vi−a⋅t, which will get you

t=vi−vfa

t=(15.0−10.0)ms2.0ms2=2.5 s

A compact car, mass 660 kg, is moving at 1.00 ✕ 102 km/h toward the east. The driver of the compact car suddenly applies the bra
Maslowich

Answer:59.43\times 10^3 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of car m=660 kg

Initial velocity of car =102 km/h\approx 28.33 m/s towards east

Time taken to stop t=2.1 s

Force exerted F_{avg}=4.8\times 10^3 N

change in momentum is given  by impulse imparted to the car

Impulse(J)=-F\cdot t

J=-4.8\times 10^3\times 2.1

J=-59.49\times 10^3 kg-m/s

negative Sign indicates that impulse is imparted opposite to the direction of motion

magnitude of momentum J=59.49\times 10^3
