<span>2.5 m/s going upward.
   In the situation described, Erica and Danny undergo a non-elastic collision which will conserve their combined momentum. Since Erica is stationary, her momentum is 0. And since Danny is moving upward at 4.7 m/s his momentum is 43 kg * 4.7 m/s = 202.1 kg*m/s. Assuming that both Erica and Danny will be moving as a joined system, their combined mass is 38 kg + 43 kg = 81 kg. Since the momentum will be the same, their velocity will be 202.1 kg*m/s / 81 kg = 2.495061728 m/s. Since we only have 2 significant figures in the provided data, rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives a velocity of 2.5 m/s going upward.</span>

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 5.00 s, it rotates 14.8 rad. Du
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Initial θ = 0 rad (from rest)

Final θ = 14.3 rad

Time, t = 5 s

B.

Angular velocity, w = dθ / dt

= (14.3 - 0)/5

= 2.86 rad/s

A.

Acceleration, ao = dw/dt

Initial angular velocity, wi = 0 rad/s (from rest)

Final angular velocity, wf = 2.86 rad/s

a = (2.86 - 0)/5

= 0.572 rad/s^2

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)

An object is moving with the speed of light around the Earth. How much time will it take to complete one round trip along the eq
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

0.14 seconds

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is approximately 3.0*10^8. The distance that would be covered by the object would be equivalent to the circumference of the cross-section of the earth on the equator.

Circumference = 2\pi*6400000 =4.02*10^7

Time = distance/speed = 4.2*10^7 / 3.0*10^8 =0.14s
