Answer: A. 50m/s

Explanation

Step 1

The first step is to define velocity.  Velocity is a measure of how fast displacement is changing with time. When discussing the velocity of a object we have to take into account that direction is important.

Step 2

The second step is to calculate the change in velocity.  The object is initially travelling with a velocity of +20m/s and then hits the bat, changes directions and travels at -30m/s in a direction opposite to it's initial direction. The change in velocity is calculated as shown below,

\Delta v=v_1-v_2\\\Delta v = +20m/s-(-30m/s)=+20m/s +30m/s = 50m/s.

The correct answer is 50m/s

If vx=9.80 units and vy=-6.40 units, determine the magnitude and direction of v
dexar [7]
The resultant vector can be determined by the component vectors. The component vectors are vector lying along the x and y-axes. The equation for the resultant vector, v is:

v = √(vx² + vy²)
v = √[(9.80)² + (-6.40)²]
v = √137 or 11.7 units
