Answer:
a) 2.87 m/s
b) 3.23 m/s
Explanation:
The avergare velocity can be found dividing the length traveled d by the total time t.
a)
For the first part we easily know the total traveled length which is:
d = 50.2 m + 50.2 m = 100.4 m
The time can be found dividing the distance by the velocity:
t1 = 50.2 m / 2.21 m/s = 22.7149 s
t2 = 50.2 m / 4.11 m/s = 12.2141 s
t = t1 +t2 = 34.9290 s
Therefore, the average velocity is:
v = d/t =2.87 m/s
b)
Here we can easily know the total time:
t = 1 min + 1.16 min = 129.6 s
Now the distance wil be found multiplying each velocity by the time it has travelled:
d1 = 2.21 m/s * 60 s = 132.6 m
d2 = 4.11 m/s *(1.16 * 60 s) = 286.056 m
d = 418.656 m
Therefore, the average velocity is:
v = d/t =3.23 m/s
Answer:
When you exert a force on a baseball, there exists an equal and opposite force on the ball therefore, the ball will accelerate in opposite direction.
Explanation:
When you hit a ball with baseball bat, the bat exerts a great force on the ball which causes the ball to accelerate in the opposite direction. It is to be noted that the mass of bat is much greater than mass of ball but the acceleration of ball is also greater than the acceleration of the bat so both bat and ball almost exert same magnitude of force but in opposite direction and as a result both bat and ball accelerate in opposite direction, the deciding factor is of course the relative force applied by the batter and the bowler.
Speed uses distance and velocity uses displacement in its calculation.
For 100 m race, distance = displacement. Hence speed = velocity
For 400m race, distance ≠ displacement. distance = 400m whereas displacement = 0m. Hence speed ≠ velocity
Answer:
a) 0.138J
b) 3.58m/S
c) (1.52J)(I)
Explanation:
a) to find the increase in the translational kinetic energy you can use the relation

where Wp is the work done by the person and Wg is the work done by the gravitational force
By replacing Wp=Fh1 and Wg=mgh2, being h1 the distance of the motion of the hand and h2 the distance of the yo-yo, m is the mass of the yo-yo, then you obtain:

the change in the translational kinetic energy is 0.138J
b) the new speed of the yo-yo is obtained by using the previous result and the formula for the kinetic energy of an object:

where vf is the final speed, vo is the initial speed. By doing vf the subject of the formula and replacing you get:

the new speed is 3.58m/s
c) in this case what you can compute is the quotient between the initial rotational energy and the final rotational energy

hence, the change in Er is about 1.52J times the initial rotational energy
