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

Over [174]

Answer:

Angle of reflection of light is 34 degree

Explanation:

As per law of reflection of light we know that

angle of incidence of light = angle of reflection of light

So here we know that

angle of incidence on the surface of oil is given as

\theta_i = 34 degree

so we know that

\theta_i = \theta_r

so here we can say that reflection angle of light will be same as angle of incidence

\theta_r = 34 degree

How do you convert from picoseconds to milliseconds using the conversion factors?
andrew11 [14]

There are 10⁹ picoseconds in 1 Ms

1 picosecond= 10¹² s

1 Ms = 10⁻³ s

so the number of picoseconds in one Ms=(10⁻³ s/1 Ms) * (10¹² Ps/ 1 s)=10⁹

Thus there are 10⁹ picoseconds in 1 Ms

Based on Archimedes' principle, we know that if an object displaces a given weight of water, then the object is being buoyed up
Virty [35]
True. If the amount displaced is more than the mass, it floats. If the amount is less than the mass, it will sink.

Changing the direction of current will or will not affect the strength of an electromagnet
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

he polarity of the electromagnet is determined by the direction the current. The north pole of the electromagnet is determined by using your right hand. Wrap your fingers around the coil in the same direction as the current is flowing (conventional current flows from + to -).

A 7950-kg railroad car travels alone on a level frictionless track with a constant speed of 15.0 m/s . A 2950-kg load, initially
Alchen [17]

The new speed of car is 10.9 m/s

<h3 />

According to the principle of momentum conservation, momentum is only modified by the action of forces as they are outlined by Newton's equations of motion; momentum is never created nor destroyed inside a problem domain.

Mass of the railroad car, m₁ = 7950 kg

Mass of the load, m₂ = 2950 kg

It can be assumed as the speed of the car, u₁ = 15 m/s

Initially, it is at rest, u₂ = 0

Let v is the speed of the car. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v

v =\frac{m_1u_1}{m_1+m_2}

v = \frac{7950*15}{7950+2950}

v= 10.9 m/s

Therefore, the new speed of care is 10.9 m/s
