A baseball is hit with a bat. The direction of the ball is completely reversed and its speed is doubled. If the actual contact w

ith the bat lasts what is the ratio of the acceleration to the original velocity?

Before the impact, let the velocity of the baseball was v m/s.

After being hit by the bat its velocity is -2v
So, change in velocity, Deltav=v-(-2v)=3v
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity, i.e. actual change in velocity divided by the time taken to change it. Time taken to change velocity is the time of actual contact of the bat and ball, i.e. 0.31 s.

a=(Deltav)/(Deltat)
=(3v)/0.37
Therefore, a/v=3/0.31=9.7 s^-1
So, the ratio of acceleration of the baseball to its original velocity is 9.7.

Answer:

ratio = 9.67

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity = v

final velocity  = - 2 v

change in velocity = v-(-2v)

                               = 3 v

assuming the time be t = 0.31 s

acceleration = \dfrac{change\ in\ velocity}{time}

                     = \dfrac{3v}{0.31}

                     = 9.67 v

ratio = \dfrac{a}{v} = \dfrac{9.67 v}{v}

ratio = 9.67

You are loading a refrigerator weighing 2267 N onto a truck, using a wheeled cart. The refrigerator is raised 1.09 m to the truc
meriva

Answer:

a).

Wmin= 2471.03 J

W=1603.01 J

Explanation:

Weight, w= 2267 N

w= m*g\\W=m*g*h \\W=w*h

Minimum work 'h' is the distance the refrigerator is raised h=1.09m

W_{min}=2267 N* 1.09m\\W_{min}=2471.03 J

The motion is no frictional force so, the magnitude of the force with a angle of 45.0° is find using:

W=m*g*h'\\h'= sin(45)\\W=2267N*sin(45)\\W=1603.01 J

An astronaut has a momentum of 280 kg and travels 10 m/s. what is the mass of the astronaut?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>28 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of an object given it's momentum and velocity / speed can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{p}{v}  \\

where

m is the mass

p is the momentum

v is the speed or velocity

From the question

p = 280 kg/ms

v = 10 m/s

The mass of the object is

m =  \frac{280}{10}  = 28 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>28 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you
