A big league hitter attacks a fastball! The ball has a mass of 0.16 kg. It is pitched at 38 m/s. After the player hits the ball,

it is now traveling 44 m/s in the opposite direction. The impact lasted 0.002 seconds. How big of a force did the ballplayer put on that ball?

Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)
Original momentum before the hit = 
                   (0.16 kg) x (38 m/s) this way <==
               =             6.08 kg-m/s  this way <==
Momentum after the hit = 
                   (0.16) x (44 m/s) that way  ==>
               =           7.04 kg-m/s  that way ==>
Change in momentum = (6.08 + 7.04) =  13.12 kg-m/s  that way ==> .-----------------------------------------------
Change in momentum = impulse.
                                   Impulse = (force) x (time the force lasted)
                          13.12 kg-m/s  = (force) x (0.002 sec)
  (13.12 kg-m/s) / (0.002 sec)  =  Force
             6,560 kg-m/s² = 6,560 Newtons  =  Force    
                            ( about 1,475 pounds  ! ! ! )
 Hoped this helped!! ☺

What is the restoring force of a spring with a spring constant of 4a and a stretched displacement of 3b? A. –7 ab B. `-7 a/b ` C
algol13

Answer:

C. -12 ab

Explanation:

The restoring force on a spring is given by Hooke's law:

F=-kx

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretched (or compressed) displacement of the spring

In this problem we have:

k = 4a

x = 3b

Substituting into the equation, we find:

F=-(4a)(3b) = -12 ab

And the negative sign means that the direction of the force (negative) is opposite to the direction of the displacement (positive).

How does a large star create the elements? at what element does the star stop making new elements?
Dahasolnce [82]
They are fused in the core of the star due to great pressures and temperatures.  They are made all the way through iron.  At that point the star dies.  If it is a really large star it will become a supernova when it dies, creating all of the elements beyond iron as well, but only in its death.  No star can create anything beyond iron in its life cycle
