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)

A shoe and a shirt are released from the same height. They take different amounts of time to fall to the ground. How can this be
Law Incorporation [45]

The best explanation for the difference in time is: A. The difference in weight doesn't affect the time, but they are affected differently by air resistance.

<h3>What is weight?</h3>

Weight can be defined as the force acting on an object or a physical body due to the effect of gravity. Also, the weight of an object (body) is typically measured in Newton.

<h3>The factors that affect weight.</h3>

Some of the factors that affect the weight that is possessed by an object or a physical body include the following:

  • Mass
  • Distance
  • Air resistance

In conclusion, the weight possessed by the shoe and shirt has no effect on time but would be affected differently by air resistance.

A person's body is producing energy internally due to metabolic processes. If the body loses more energy than metabolic processe
Allushta [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Stefan-Boltzman law that is responsible for calculating radioactive energy.

Mathematically this expression can be given as

P = \sigma Ae\Delta T^4

Where

A = Surface area of the Object

\sigma = Stefan-Boltzmann constant

e = Emissivity

T = Temperature (Kelvin)

Our values are given as

A = 1.36m^2

\Delta T^4 = T_2^4 -T_1^4 = 307^4-T_1^4

\sigma = 5.67*10^{-8} J/(s m^2 K^4)

P = 122J/s

e = 0.7

Replacing at our equation and solving to find the temperature 1 we have,

P = \sigma Ae\Delta T^4

P = \sigma Ae (T_2^4 -T_1^4)

122 = (5.67*10^{-8})(1.36)(0.7)(307^4-T_1^4)

T_1 = 285.272K = 12.122\°C

Therefore the the temperature of the coldest room in which this person could stand and not experience a drop in body temperature is 12°C

As a roller coaster car crosses the top of a 50-m-diameter loop-the-loop, its apparent weight is the same as its true weight.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:22.36 m/s

Explanation:

Given

the diameter of loop d=50 m

the radius of loop r=25 m

At the top position, we can write,

weight and Normal reaction combination will provide the centripetal force i.e.

R+W=\frac{mv^2}{r}

R=W\quad \quad [\text{apparent weight =Actual weight}]

2W=2mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{2gr}

v=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 25}

v=22.36\ m/s
