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

Collapse question part Part 4 (d) What is the unit vector in the direction of the spacecraft's velocity? (Express your answer in
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

unit (v) = [ -0.199 i - 0.8955 j + 0.39801 k ]

Explanation:

Given:

                            v =  (-23.2, -104.4, 46.4) m/s

Above expression describes spacecraft's velocity vector v.

Find:

Find unit vector in the direction of spacecraft velocity v.

Solution:

Step 1: Compute magnitude of velocity vector.

                            mag (v) = sqrt ( 23.2^2 + 104.4^2 + 46.4^2)

                            mag (v) = 116.58 m/s

Step 2: Compute unit vector unit (v)

                            unit (v) = vec (v) / mag (v)

                            unit (v) = [ -23.2 i -104.4 j + 46.4 k ] / 116.58

                            unit (v) = [ -0.199 i - 0.8955 j + 0.39801 k ]

What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force
Effectus [21]

The magnitude of the kinetic friction force, ƒk, on an object is. Where μk is called the kinetic friction coefficient and |FN| is the magnitude of the normal force of the surface on the sliding object. The kinetic friction coefficient is entirely determined by the materials of the sliding surfaces. hope it helps

When water in a lake freezes, the ice that forms floats on top of any water that is still liquid. Why does the ice float?
ddd [48]

Answer:

it floats because the lake is cold at that moment so when part of the lake freezes it still remains solid and floats because of the lake and the surrounding of the lake is still cold

What is wrong with the following statement: When you exert a force on a baseball, the equal and opposite force on the ball balan
gregori [183]

Answer:

When you exert a force on a baseball, there exists an equal and opposite force on the ball therefore, the ball will accelerate in opposite direction.

Explanation:

When you hit a ball with baseball bat, the bat exerts a great force on the ball which causes the ball to accelerate in the opposite direction. It is to be noted that the mass of bat is much greater than mass of ball but the acceleration of ball is also greater than the acceleration of the bat so both bat and ball almost exert same magnitude of force but in opposite direction and as a result both bat and ball accelerate in opposite direction, the deciding factor is of course the relative force applied by the batter and the bowler.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

option c

Explanation:

The temperature must be constant. Ohms law states that the current running through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across it provided the temperature remains constant
