The answer is c. the force of his swing

At the time of the impact, there is a collision between two bodies moving in opposite directions.

The force exerted on the ball causes the change of velocity.

Answer: The force of his swing

Explanation: When Julio hit the baseball, the ball changed the direction after the impact. The contact force exerted by the bat on the baseball when it swing caused the change in direction of the ball. The force exerted in time t is causes change in momentum.

the force of gravity acts on the ball all the time. The speed of the ball is not a factor to change direction. The weight of the air exerts a drag on the ball which is also constant. Hence, only the force of swing caused the changed in the direction of the ball.

An apple dropped from the branch of a tree hits the ground in 0.5 s. If the acceleration of the apple during its motion is 10 ms

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Given that,

Time = 0.5 s

Acceleration = 10 m/s²

(I). We need to calculate the speed of apple

Using equation of motion

$v=u+at$

Where, v = speed

u = initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$v=0+10\times0.5$

$v=5\ m/s$

(III). We need to calculate the height of the branch of the tree from the ground

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value into the formula

$s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times10\times(0.5)^2$

$s=1.25\ m$

(II). We need to calculate the average velocity during 0.5 sec

Using formula of average velocity

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{x_{f}-x_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{0}}$

Where, $x_{f}$ = final position

$x_{i}$ = initial position

Put the value into the formula

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{1.25+0}{0.5}$

$v_{avg}=2.5\ m/s$

Hence, (I). The speed of apple is 5 m/s.

(II). The average velocity during 0.5 sec is 2.5 m/s

(III). The height of the branch of the tree from the ground is 1.25 m.

1. A 1,000-kg car has 50,000 joules of kinetic energy. What is its speed?

bulgar [2K]

Use KE= 1/2mv^2
So...
50,000=(.5)(1,000)v^2
50,000=500 x v^2
Divide 500 on both sides
100 = v^2
Square root both sides to get rid of v^2
Therefore v = 10 m/s

A baseball pitcher throws a baseball horizontally at a linear speed of 42.5 m/s (about 95 mi/h). Before being caught, the baseba

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

4.5m/s

Explanation:

Linear speed (v) = 42.5m/s

Distance(x) = 16.5m

θ= 49.0 rad

radius (r) = 3.67 cm

= 0.0367m

The time taken to travel = t

Recall that speed = distance / time

Time = distance / speed

t = x/v

t = 16.5/42.5

t = 0.4 secs

tangential velocity is proportional to the radius and angular velocity ω

Vt = rω

Angular velocity (ω) = θ/t

ω = 49/0.4

ω = 122.5 rad/s

Vt = rω

Vt = 0.0367 * 122.5

Vt =4.5 m/s
