If the kinetic energy of each ball is equal to that of the other,
then

(1/2) (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (1/2) (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Multiply each side by 2:

      (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Divide each side by (mass of gb) and by (speed of ppb)² :

     (mass of ppb)/(mass of gb)  =  (speed of gb)²/(speed of ppb)²

Take square root of each side:

       √ (ratio of their masses)  =  ( 1 / ratio of their speeds)²

By trying to do this perfectly rigorously and elegantly, I'm also
using up a lot of space and guaranteeing that nobody will be
able to follow what I have written.  Let's just come in from the
cold, and say it the clear, easy way:

If their kinetic energies are equal, then the product of each
mass and its speed² must be the same number.

If one ball has less mass than the other one, then the speed²
of the lighter one must be greater than the speed² of the heavier
one, in order to keep the products equal.

The pingpong ball is moving faster than the golf ball.

The directions of their motions are irrelevant.

How does the tilt of Earth's axis cause seasons?
tino4ka555 [31]
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

A batter hits a baseball m = 0.41 kg from rest with a force of F = 81
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

7.0s

Explanation:

Mass = 0.41kg

F= 81N

t = 0.22s

¤ = 29°

Lo = 86m

From impulse equation,

F*t = m* v

81 * 0.22 = 0.41 * v

Vo = 17.82 / 0.41

Vo = 43.46m/s

Vx= velocity across horizontal plane

Vy = velocity across vertical plane

Vx = Vo * cos ¤

Vy = Vo * sin ¤

Vx = 43.46 * cos 30° = 37.64 m/s

Vy = 43.46 sin 30° = 21.73 m/s

Distance travelled across the vertical plane,

L = Lo + Vy *t + ½gt²

0 = 86 + 21.73t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 21.73t - 86 = 0

Solving for t in the quadratic equation,

t = 6.96 or -10.04

Using the positive root since time can't be negative, t = 6.96 approximately 7.0s

Professor Stefanovic is spinning a bucket of water by extending his arm and rotating his shoulder in class to show the effects o
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

a ) 2.368 rad/s

b) 3.617 rad/s

Explanation:

the minimum angular velocity that Prof. Stefanovic needs to spin the bucket for the water not to fall out can be determined by applying force equation in a circular path

i.e

F_{inward } = F_G + F_T   ------ equation (1)

where;

F_{inward} = m *a_c

F_{inward} = m*r* \omega^2

Also

F_G = m*g

F_T = 0          since; that is the initial minimum angular velocity to keep the water in the bucket

Now; we can rewrite our equation as :

mr \omega^2= mg + 0\\\omega^2 = \frac{m*g}{m*r}\\\omega^2 = \frac{g}{r}\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r} \ \  }     ------ equation \ \ \ {2}

So; Given that:

The rope that is attached to the bucket is lm long  and his arm is 75 cm long.

we have our radius r = 1 m +  75 cm

= ( 1 + 0.75 ) m

= 1.75 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Replacing our values into equation (2) ; we have:

\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{9.81}{1.75}}\\\omega = 2.368 \  rad/s

b) if he detaches the rope and spins the bucket by holding it with his hand ; then the radius = 0.75 m

∴

\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{9.81}{0.75}}\\\omega = 3.617 \  rad/s
