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

The second-order decomposition of hi has a rate constant of 1.80 x 10−3 m−1 s−1. How much hi remains after 45.6 s if the initial
zlopas [31]

Answer:

2.9 M

Explanation:

The concentration-time equation for a second order reaction is:

1/[A] = kt + 1/[A°]

Where,

A = concentration remaining at time, t

A° = initial concentration

k = rate constant

1/[A] = (1.80 x 10^-3) * (45.6) + 1/3.81

1/[A] = 0.345

= 1/0.345

= 2.9 M.

Why is it sometimes difficult for scientists to identify a a fold or fault?
Sauron [17]

Folds and faults are difficult to identify because they occur in the interior of rocks and also due to the dense nature of the materials.

<h3>What are faults and folds?</h3>

Faults are lines of weakness are present in materials dues to uneven positioning of the particles of the material.

Folds occurs when infolds occur in materials.

Faults and folds usually occur in rocks.

Folds and faults are difficult to identify because they occur internally and also due to the dense nature of the materials.

A car can accelerate from rest to 28 m/s and travels 280meters. How long does this acceleration take?
Reika [66]

Answer:

a=1.4m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Velocity v=28m/s

Distance d=280

Generally the Newtons equation for motion is mathematically given as

Acceleration

v^2=2as

a=\frac{V^2}{2s}

a=\frac{28^2}{2*280}

a=1.4m/s^2
