Answer:

The magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of snowball, m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

velocity of the snowball, v = 7.5 m/s

duration of the collision between the snowball and the wall, t = 0.15 s

Magnitude of the average force can be calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

a is acceleration = v / t

a = 7.5 / 0.15

a = 50 m/s²

F = ma

F = 0.12 x 50

F = 6 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high pop-up. If the ball remains in the air for 6.22 s, how high does it rise? The accel
BigorU [14]

Answer:

47.4 m

Explanation:

When an object is thrown upward, it rises up, it reaches its maximum height, and then it goes down. The time at which it reaches its maximum height is half the total time of flight.

In this case, the time of flight is 6.22 s, so the time the ball takes to reach the maximum height is

t=\frac{6.22}{2}=3.11 s

Now we consider only the downward motion of the ball: it is a free fall motion, so we can find the vertical displacement by using the suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s is the vertical displacement

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 3.11 s is the time

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)

Solving the  formula, we find

s=\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(3.11)^2=47.4 m
