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

no net force on the system, what is the velocity of the pitcher?

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.

How did J.J. Thomson's experiments demonstrate that Dalton's model of the atom was incorrect?
morpeh [17]
The correct option is C.
J.J Thompson demonstrated that Dalton's model of the atomic theory was wrong by showing that atoms are made up of sub particles, this is contrary to the report that Dalton gave about atoms. In his experiment, Dalton reported that atoms are indivisible, that is, they can not be broken down into smaller particles. J.J Thompson on the other was able to show through his cathode ray experiment that atoms are made up of smaller particles called electrons.

In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what part of what other part
koban [17]

Protons

Explanation:

In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons in the atom.

  •  Electrons are the negatively charge particles in an atom
  • Protons carry positive charge.
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges.

Protons and neutrons are contained in the nucleus of an atom they determine the mass number of the atom.

In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons must be the same.

A charge atom called an ion is one that has lost or gained electrons.

a person standing at the edge of a seaside cliff kicks a stone over the edge with a speed of 18 m/s. The cliff is 52 m above the
Alexxx [7]
You already have the speed, now you need the time.
I will use the formula for speed which is S=D/T.
S=Speed    D=Distance   T=Time.
So here we have, 18m/s = 52m/T
we do 18 divided by 52 which would be .3461.
.3461 seconds is how long it took the stone to reach the water.
