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

Give two reasons why circular water waves decrease in amplitude
Ronch [10]
1. friction between water molecules
2. the wave spreads out onto a larger and larger area, so per unit area, the energy of the wave goes down

An airplane in a holding pattern flies at constant altitude along a circular path of radius 3.38 km. If the airplane rounds half
Andrej [43]

Answer:

a) 6076 m

b) 43.33 m/s

c) 68 m/s

Explanation:

(a) If the airplane rounds half the circle in 156s, its displacement is the circle diameter in 156s, or twice the circle's radius

s = 2r = 2* 3.38km = 6.76 km or 6760 m

(b) The average velocity would be displacement over unit of time

v = s/t = 6760 / 156 = 43.33 m/s

(c) The length of the chord it's swept in 156s is half of the circle perimeter

c = πr = π3.38 = 10.62 km or 10620 m

The airplane average speed is its chord length over a unit of time

c / t = c / 156 = 68 m/s

Does gravity have an effect on the potential difference of a battery?
Sonja [21]

Answer: The correct answer is "No".

Explanation:

Gravity: It is the force which causes object to fall on the earth. It is the force which attracts bodies towards each other.

Potential difference: It is defined as the potential acting between the two points. The work done in moving the unit positive charge from one location to the another location.

The potential difference in battery is caused by the electrodes. There are two terminals in battery: Negative terminal which is at lower potential and Positive terminal which is at higher potential. It forces the electrons to flow in the circuit which constitutes the current.

The gravity and the potential difference have no relation between them.

Therefore, gravity have no effect on the potential difference of a battery.
