Homer agin leads the varsity team in home runs. In a recent game, homer hit a 96 mi/hr sinking curve ball head on, sending it of

f his bat in the exact opposite direction at 56 mi/hr. The actual contact between ball and bat lasted for 0.75 milliseconds. Determine the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during the contact with the bat. Express your answer in m/s/s.

Answer;

= 90600 m/s...

Explanation;

velocity of ball = 96 mi/hr = 42.916 m/s...  

velocity of bat = -56mi/hr = -25.034m/s.. ( note the negativity here..)  

time = 0.75 millisec = 0.75 * 10^-3 sec  

acceleration = (velball - velbat) / time

                     = (42.916 - (-25.034)) / (0.75 * 10^-3)

                     =90600 m/s

Answer:

The magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during the contact with the bat is 90666m/s^2

Explanation:

Average acceleration (a) is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time it took:

a=\frac{V_{2}-V_{1} }{t} (eq. 1)

V2: final velocity

V1: initial velocity

t: time the change in velocity took

In this example, the ball traveled at 96mi/h in a direction and changed its velocity to 56mi/h in the opposite direction because of the contact with the bat.

In this case, we need to express all in meters and seconds. To achieve this use some conversion factors:

V_{1} =96mi/h=96mi/h*(\frac{0.45m/s}{1mi/h} )=43m/s\\V_{2} =-56mi/h=-56mi/h*(\frac{0.45m/s}{1mi/h} )=-25m/s\\t=0.75ms=0.75ms*(\frac{1s}{1000ms} )=7.5*10^{-4} s

Note there's a negative sign beside 56 mi/hr because it goes in the opposite direction to 96 mi/hr.

Plugging in these values in eq. 1:

a=\frac{-25m/s-43m/s }{7.5*10^{-4} s}=90666m/s^2

W=90 kg×4n/kg<br>Please halp me i need it ​
kiruha [24]

I'm guessing that this is a problem to find the weight of a 90kg mass on a planet where the acceleration of gravity is 4 m/s^2. (Much less gravity than Earth, a little more than Mars.)

Just do the multiplication, and you get

360 Newtons.

What frequency fapproach is heard by a passenger on a train moving at a speed of 18.0 m/s relative to the ground in a direction
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The frequency is 302.05 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 18.0 m/s

Suppose a train is traveling at 30.0 m/s relative to the ground in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the train whistle is 262 Hz .

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

f'=f(\dfrac{v+v_{p}}{v-v_{s}})

Where, f = frequency

v = speed of sound

v_{p} = speed of passenger

v_{s} = speed of source

Put the value into the formula

f'=262\times(\dfrac{344+18}{344-30})

f'=302.05\ Hz

Hence, The frequency is 302.05 Hz.

Malcolm and Ravi raced each other. The average of their maximum speeds was 260 km/h If doubled, Malcolm's maximum speed would be
AfilCa [17]

Answer

Given,

Average speed of Malcolm and Ravi = 260 km/h

Let speed of the Malcolm be X and speed of the Ravi Y.

From the given statement

\dfrac{X+Y}{2}=260

X + Y = 520 ....(i)

2X - Y = 80  ....(ii)

Adding both the equations

3 X = 600

 X = 200 km/h

Putting value in equation (i)

Y = 520 - 200

Y = 320 Km/h

Speed of Malcolm = 200 Km/h

Speed of Ravi = 320 Km/h
