Answer:

His weight on Earth is 1097.6N

Explanation:

You have to apply Newton's Second Law, F = m×a where F is force, m is mass and a is accerleration. Then, you have to substitute the following values into the equation :

$f = m \times a$

Let m = 112kg,

Let a = 9.8m/s²,

$f = 112 \times 9.8$

$f = 1097.6$

A bat strikes a 0.145-kg baseball. Just before impact, the ball is traveling horizontally to the right at 43.0 m/s; when it leav

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

$-7.352\times 10^3$ N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of baseball=m=0.145 kg

Initial velocity of ball=u=43 m/s

$\theta=31^{\circ}$

Speed, v= $51 m/s$

Time, t=1.71 ms= $1.71\times 10^{-3} s$

$1 ms=1.71\times 10^{-3} s$

Horizontal component of the average force on the ball= $\frac{m(vcos\theta-u)}{t}$

Horizontal component of the average force on the ball $=\frac{0.145(-51cos31-43)}{1.71\times 10^{-3}}$

Horizontal component of the average force on the ball= $-7.352\times 10^3$ N

i believe it would be the same because time doesn't matter when calculating total work done.
