The force acting on the ball are unbalanced. Reactionary momentum force (that originated as a result of the swing of the bat) is the most powerful.

Yes friction is acting on the ball. In course of journey it would slow the ball down and make it trace a parabolic path rather than straight path as intended by hitter.

Explanation:

As the hitter hits the ball, momentum of the bat due to swing (mass of the bat*velocity provided by the batsman swinging action of bat) gets transferred on the ball on its impact with the bat.

Since ball’s mass is quite small as compared to the bat, the velocity of the ball increases by the same factor by which the ball’s mass is lower than the bat’s mass. This velocity causes forward motion of the ball (of course in the direction of bat’s motion, here the batsman intends to send the ball straight away hence the ball would move straight).

Various forces on ball is-

  • Reactionary momentum force -bat’s force (most powerful force)
  • The frictional force of the air (opposing the motion of the ball through the air)
  • Gravity force (pulling the ball down to the Earth)

As a combined effect of these force when all the force remains unbalanced, the ball moves away in the straight path under the impact of bats momentum which was most powerful of all.

Frictional force and Gravity force continue acting on the ball. While frictional forces decrease the ball velocity through the air, gravity force pulls it down thus deflecting its direction. Under the combined impact of declining bats momentum, friction force and gravity force, the ball traces a parabolic path  (in accordance with the first law of motion from Newton)

hoa [83]

To develop this problem it is necessary to use the equations of description of the simple harmonic movement in which the acceleration and angular velocity are expressed as a function of the Amplitude.

Our values are given as

f = 4.11 *10^{12} Hz

A = 1.23 * 10^{-11}m

The angular velocity of a body can be described as a function of frequency as

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi 4.11 *10^{12}

\omega=2.582*10^{13} rad/s

PART A) The expression for the maximum angular velocity is given by the amplitude so that

V = A\omega

V =( 1.23 * 10^{-11})(2.582*10^{13})

V =  = 317.586m/s

PART B) The maximum acceleration on your part would be given by the expression

a = A \omega^2

a =( 1.23 * 10^{-11})(2.582*10^{13})^2

a= 8.2*10^{15}m/s^2

The terminal velocity is not dependent on which one of the following properties? the drag coefficient 1 the force of gravity 2 c
ahrayia [7]
<h2>Answer: the falling time</h2>

Explanation:

When a body or object falls, basically two forces act on it:  

1. The force of air friction, also called<em> </em><u><em>"drag force"</em></u> D:  

D={C}_{d}\frac{\rho V^{2} }{2}A  (1)

Where:  

C_ {d} is the drag coefficient  

\rho is the density  of the fluid (air for example)

V is the velocity  

A is the transversal area of the object

So, this force is proportional to the transversal area of ​​the falling element and to the square of the velocity.  

2. Its <u>weight </u>due to the gravity force W:  

W=m.g

(2)

Where:  

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due gravity  

So, at the moment <u>when the drag force equals the gravity force, the object will have its terminal velocity:</u>

D=W (3)

{C}_{d}\frac{\rho V^{2} }{2}A=m.g  (4)

V=\sqrt{\frac{2m.g}{\rho A{C}_{d}}}  (5) This is the terminal velocity

As we can see, there is no "falling time" in this equation.

Therefore, the terminal velocity is not dependent on the falling time.
