A 140 g baseball is moving horizontally to the right at 35 mis when it is hit by the bat. the ball fl ies off to the le ft at 55

mis, at an angle of 25° above the horizontal. what are the magnitude and direction of the impulse that the bat deli vers to the ball?

Answer:

J = 12.32kg*m/s

Explanation:

Assumptions: I'm assuming mis is m/s

Given: The baseball's mass is 140g, so convert to kg, 0.140kg. (Good rule of thumb, in physics convert grams to kilograms). It is initially traveling 35 m/s to the right.

When it hits the bat, it flies left with a velocity of 55 m/s at an angle of 25°. To reiterate:

mass = 0.140kg, Initial: 35m/s, Final: 55m/s at an angle of 25°

For this problem, we have to use the impulse equation, but before that lets break the velocity into components (It will be apparent towards the end):

The initial velocity is moving only in the horizontal direction, so:

v_{0x} = 35 m/s

The final velocity has an x and a y component:

v_{fx} = 55cos(25) = 49.84692829m/s\\v_{fy} = 55sin(25) = 23.2440044m/s

Now the equation for impulse is (dp is Δp, which is difference in momentum; dv is Δv, the difference in velocity; J is impulse):

J = dp= m*dv

To get Δv, we have to find the difference of velocity, that is why we broke it into components. I'm going to define right as positive and left as negative. After that, we find the velocity vector:

dv_{x} = (35-(-49.84692829)) = 84.84692829 m/s\\dv_{y} = (0-(23.2440044)) = -23.2440044 m/s\\dv = \sqrt{(84.84692829)^2+(-23.2440044)^2} = 87.97320604m/s

Finally, substitute into the equation

J = m*dv\\J = 0.140kg * 87.97320604m/s\\J = 12.31624885kg*m/s\\J = 12.32 kg*m/s

J = 12.32kg*m/s

Explain how forces of attraction and repulsion exist within an atom
Stels [109]

Answer:

Oppositely charged particles attract each other, while like particles repel one another. Electrons are kept in the orbit around the nucleus by the electromagnetic force, because the nucleus in the center of the atom is positively charged and attracts the negatively charged electrons.

An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

15.75 m/s

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the combined mass of astronaut and tools = 1.8 m/s

m_1 = Mass of astronaut = 124 kg

m_2 = Mass of tools = 16 kg

v_1 = Velocity of astronaut = 0

v_2 = Velocity of tools

As linear momentum is conserved

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{(m_1 + m_2)v-m_1v_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{(124+16)\times 1.8-124\times 0}{16}\\\Rightarrow v_2=15.75\ m/s

The velocity of the tools is 15.75 m/s

Bobo, the clown, can swim at 2.0 m/s. he must make a landing directly across to the north side of the styx river, which is 100.
victus00 [196]
We are given the following:

Bobo's swimming speed = 2.0 m/s
Width of the river = 100 m
Flowrate of the river = 6.0 m/s due east

First, we need to illustrate the problem. Draw the river with a width of 100 meters. Then, the flow of the river, east at 6 meters per second. Lastly, draw Bobo at one side of the river facing north and an arrow representing swimming speed at 2 meters per second.

Now, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this rate problem.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 

c = speed of Bobo needed
a = speed of Bobo facing north
b = flow rate of the river going east

c^2 = 2^2 + 6^2 

c = 6.32 m / s should be his speed to overcome the current and make a landing at the desired location.

Is energy transformation only occurring at only point 3?
Paul [167]
No, energy transformation is occurring in every point of the motion.

In fact, the ball starts from point 1 with maximum kinetic energy and zero potential energy (taking the hand of the boy as reference level). The kinetic energy converts into gravitational potential energy as it goes higher: in point 2, part of the kinetic energy has converted into potential energy (because the velocity has decreased, while the height has increased), and then when the ball reaches point 3 all the kinetic energy has converted into potential energy (because now the velocity is zero, while the height is maximum). As the ball descends (point 4), the velocity starts to increase again, therefore the kinetic energy increases and the potential energy decreases (because the height is deacreasing now).
Summarizing, energy transformation is occuring in every point of the motion.
