Answer:

p = 6.25 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of the baseball, v = 44.7 m/s

Weight of the baseball, W = 1.4 N

Firstly we need to find the mass of the baseball. It can be calculated as :

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{1.4\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}

m = 0.14 kg

The momentum of an object is equal to the product of mass and velocity. It is given by :

p=m\times v

p=0.14\ kg\times 44.7\ m/s

p = 6.25 kg-m/s

So, the momentum it have when it hits the catcher is 6.25 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

1.4 N is a weight so calculating it's mass
1.4/9.8 = 0.1428 kg
momentum will be 0.1428*44.7 = 6.38 kgm/s

A magnetic dipole with a dipole moment of magnitude 0.0243 J/T is released from rest in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 57
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

47.76°

Explanation:

Magnitude of dipole moment = 0.0243J/T

Magnetic Field = 57.5mT

kinetic energy = 0.458mJ

∇U = -∇K

Uf - Ui = -0.458mJ

Ui - Uf = 0.458mJ

(-μBcosθi) - (-μBcosθf) = 0.458mJ

rearranging the equation,

(μBcosθf) - (μBcosθi) = 0.458mJ

μB * (cosθf - cosθi) = 0.458mJ

θf is at 0° because the dipole moment is aligned with the magnetic field.

μB * (cos 0 - cos θi) = 0.458mJ

but cos 0 = 1

(0.0243 * 0.0575) (1 - cos θi) = 0.458*10⁻³

1 - cos θi = 0.458*10⁻³ / 1.397*10⁻³

1 - cos θi = 0.3278

collect like terms

cosθi = 0.6722

θ = cos⁻ 0.6722

θ = 47.76°

How are Newton’s second and third laws of motion important to your everyday life?
Rasek [7]
Well, first off, Newtons second law of motion <span>deals with the motion of accelerating and decelerating objects.
 W</span>e already know that from everyday life examples such as simply pushing a car that if 2 people push a car on a flat road it will accelerate faster than if one person was pushing it... Therefore, there is a relationship between the size of the force and the acceleration.  
 Now onto the third law of motion. First of all, what is the third law of motion? Well, a force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. Forces result from interactions! According to Newtons third law, whenever one object, and another object interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."  The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. So, how is this important to everyday life you may ask? 
<span>Well, the action-reaction force pairs are found everywhere in your body.
 For example, right now as I am typing, my tendons are exerting forces on bones, and those bones exert reaction forces on the tendons, as muscles contract, pulling my fingers on the keys. I press on those keys, and they press back on my fingers. See? Since i'm pressing on the keys, the press back on me. Its opposite from each other, as stated in the quite above. "</span><span>For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." </span>
