Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to

Lonnie with a return speed of 60 m/s. If the bat is in contact with the ball for 0.050 s what is the impulse experienced by the ball? A. 360 N.s B. 20 N.s C. 400 N.s D. 9.0 N.s

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed  = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s

A 97.6-kg baseball player slides into second base. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is μk =
Mila [183]

Answer:

v=6.65m/sec

Explanation:

From the Question we are told that:

Mass m=97.6

Coefficient of kinetic friction  \mu k=0.555

Generally the equation for Frictional force is mathematically given by

 F=\mu mg

 F=0.555*97.6*9.8

 F=531.388N

Generally the  Newton's equation for Acceleration due to Friction force is mathematically given by

 a_f=-\mu g

 a_f=-0.555 *9.81

 a_f=-54455m/sec^2

Therefore

 v=u-at

 v=0+5.45*1.22

 v=6.65m/sec

An object is attached to a hanging unstretched, ideal and massless spring and slowly lowered to its equilibrium position, a dist
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

10.6cm

Explanation:

We are given 5.3cm below the starting point (spring extension).

Therefore, to find static vertical equilibrium, we use the equation:

kx = mg

Where:

k = spring constant =

=mg/5.3 kg/s²

We are told the object was dropped from rest.

Therefore:

loss in potential energy = gain in spring p.e

Let's use the expression:

mgx = ½kx²

We are asked to find the stretch at maximum elongation x.

To find x, we make x subject of the formula.

Therefore, we have:

x = 2mg/k (after rearranging the equation above)

x = (2mg) / (mg/5.3)

x = 10.6cm

A car is initially moving at 35 km/h along a straight highway. To pass another car, it speeds up to 135 km/h in 10.5 seconds at
Aleks04 [339]
Acceleration = (velocity final-velocity initial)/ time
where
velocity final = 135 km/hr x 1 hr /3600 s x 1000m/1km
                     = 37.5 m/s
velocity initial = 35 km/hr x  1hr /3600 s x 1000 m/1 km
                      =  9.72 m/s
a) acceleration = 2.646 m/s^2
b) acceleration in g units  = (2.646m/s^2)/(9.8m/s^2)
                                              = 0.27 units

Which step should you take before you begin a scientific investigation?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Clarify any confusing information in the instructions.

Explanation:

The very first thing that we need before conducting a scientific investigation is a set of instructions which might include the following information:

-What we are experimenting on?

-How are we going to do it?

-What things are needed for it?

If there are any confusions in the instructions, the chances of making a mistake rises. So, it is very important to clarify the confusions found in the instructions before choosing things needed for the experiment and starting the experiment.
