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

What constant acceleration, in SI units, must a car have to go from zero to 60 mph in 10 s? How far has the car traveled when it
nalin [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 0

final velocity, v = 60 mph = 26.8 m/s

time t = 10 s

Let a be the acceleration and s be he distance traveled.

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

26.8 = 0 +  a x 10

a = 2.68 m/s

Use second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

s = 0 + 0.5 x 2.68 x 10 x 10

s = 134 m

As, 1 m = 3.28 ft

So, s = 134 x 3.28 ft

s = 439.6 ft

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan
Nesterboy [21]

Answer;

The temperature change for the second pan will be lower compared to the temperature change of the first pan

Explanation;

-The quantity of heat is given by multiplying mass by specific heat and by temperature change.

That is; Q = mcΔT

This means; the quantity of heat depends on the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance and also the change in temperature.

-Maintaining the same quantity of heat, with another pan of the same mass and greater specific heat capacity would mean that the change in temperature would be much less lower.

If Neptune’s mass were reduced, what could be done to maintain the same force of gravitational attraction between Neptune and th
Alenkinab [10]
Make Neptune closer to the sun because then it would have a stronger gravitation pull. Because the closer the objects are, they will have a stronger gravitaional force and when the object has more mass, the gravity is also stronger. So, if the mass is reduced, the gravity force would be reduced, but if you bring neptune closer, the gravity force would increase
