A cricket ball has mass 0.155 kg. If the velocity of a bowled ball has a magnitude of 35.0 m/s and the batted ball's velocity is
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Magnitude of change in momentum = 4.65 kg.m/s

Magnitude of impulse = 4.65 kg.m/s

Magnitude of the average force applied by the bat = 1550 N

Explanation:

Mass of the cricket ball, m = 0.155 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 35.0 m/s

final velocity of the ball after hitting the bat, v = 65.0 m/s

Time of contact, t = 2.00 ms = 2.00 × 10⁻³ s

Now,

Magnitude of change in momentum = Final momentum - Initial momentum

or

Magnitude of change in momentum = ( m × v ) - ( m × u )

or

Magnitude of change in momentum = ( 0.155 × 65 ) - ( 0.155 × 35 )

or

Magnitude of change in momentum = 10.075 - 5.425 = 4.65 kg.m/s

Now, Magnitude of impulse = change in momentum

thus,

Magnitude of impulse = 4.65 kg.m/s

Now,

magnitude of the average force applied by the bat = \frac{\textup{Impulse}}{\textup{Time}}

or

magnitude of the average force applied by the bat = \frac{\textup{4.65}}{\textup{3}\times\textup{10}^{-3}}

or

Magnitude of the average force applied by the bat = 1550 N

the base of a rectangular vessel measure 10m by 18cm. water is poured into a depth of 4cm. (a) what is the pressure on the base?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

a) P =392.4[Pa]; b) F = 706.32[N]

Explanation:

With the input data of the problem we can calculate the area of the tank base

L = length = 10[m]

W = width = 18[cm] = 0.18[m]

A = W * L = 0.18*10

A = 1.8[m^2]

a)

Pressure can be calculated by knowing the density of the water and the height of the water column within the tank which is equal to h:

P = density * g *h

where:

density = 1000[kg/m^3]

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

h = heigth = 4[cm] = 0.04[m]

P = 1000*9.81*0.04

P = 392.4[Pa]

The force can be easily calculated knowing the relationship between pressure and force:

P = F/A

F = P*A

F = 392.4*1.8

F = 706.32[N]

A 12cm candle is placed 6cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 15cm. What is the height of the image of the candle? S
amm1812

Answer:

The height of the image of the candle is 20 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Size of the candle, h = 12 cm

Object distance from the candle, u = -6 cm

Focal length of converging lens, f = 15 cm

To find,

The height of the image of the candle.

Solution,

Firstly, we will find the image distance of the candle. Let it is equal to v. Using lens formula to find the image distance.

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}

v is image distance

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{(-6)}\\\\v=-10\ cm

If h' is the height of the image. Magnification is given by :

m=\dfrac{h'}{h}=\dfrac{v}{u}

h'=\dfrac{vh}{u}\\\\h'=\dfrac{-10\times 12}{-6}\\\\h'=20\ cm

So, the height of the image of the candle is 20 cm.

A 90-kg astronaut is stranded in space at a point 6.0 m from his spaceship, and he needs to get back in 4.0 min to control the s
Stella [2.4K]

Momentum = 0.5 * 4 = 2 
to conclude the man’s velocity after he throws the piece of equipment, divide this number by the man’s mass. 

v = 2/90 

This is about 0.0222 m/s. To know if he can move 6 meters at velocity in 4minutes, use the following equation. 

d = v * t, t = 4 * 60 = 240 s 
d = 2/90 * 240 = 5⅓ meters. 

This is ⅔ of a meter from the spaceship. To know the velocity that he must have to move 6 meter, use the same equation. 

6 = v * 240 
v = 6/240 
This is about 0.00416 m/s. 
His final momentum = 90 * 6/240 = 2.25 


To know the velocity of the package, divide this number by the mass of the package. 
v = 2.25/0.5 = 4.5 m/s
