A baseball on a T-ball stand has no momentum until it is hit with a bat. When Tyler swings the bat, it has a momentum of 12 kg m

/s. After the bat hits the ball, the ball has a momentum of 8 kg m/s. What is the momentum of the bat AFTER it hits the ball?
A) 0 kg m/s
B) 4 kg m/s
C) 5 kg m/s
D) 8 kg m/s

Answer:

4 kg m/s (option B)

Explanation:

We use conservation of momentum to solve this problem.

In the initial state, the ball has momentum zero (no momentum), and the bat has a momentum of 12 kg m/s.

Since the momentum of the system that interacts ("bat plus ball"), has to be conserved (that means the final total momentum must equal the initial total momentum), we have:

Total initial momentum = 0 kg m/s + 12 kg m/s = 12 kg m/s

Total final momentum = 8 kg m/s + X

where X is our unknown: the final momentum of the bat, and 8 kg m/s is the final momentum of the ball.

We make these two quantities equal since the total momentum has to e conserved, and solve for the unknown X in the equation:

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

12 kg m/s = 8 kg m/s + X

12 kg m/s - 8 kg m/s = X

X = 4 kg m/s

how would the velocity of the book change if the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force
Inessa [10]
Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.sliding That's the 'kinetic' kind.. According to Newton's second law, F=ma. That is, the bear's acceleration should be proportional to the total force acting on the bear. As the bear's velocity is constant, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, the total Force acting on the bear is zero. Thus, the friction has to be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the bear's weight. As W=mg, we get that its weight is  <span>9.8*400=3,920 Newton. Thus, the friction acting on the bear is 3,920 Newton</span>

Answer:

Single Compound

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction takes two or more reactants and reacts chemically to turn them all into one substance.  

An example of a synthesis reaction is the reaction that takes place between sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) to create table salt.
