When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.
Answers:
a)
b)
c)
Explanation:
<h3>a) Impulse delivered to the ball</h3>
According to the Impulse-Momentum theorem we have the following:
(1)
Where:
is the impulse
is the change in momentum
is the final momentum of the ball with mass and final velocity (to the right)
is the initial momentum of the ball with initial velocity (to the left)
So:
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
<h3>b) Time </h3>
This time can be calculated by the following equations, taking into account the ball undergoes a maximum compression of approximately :
(6)
(7)
Where:
is the acceleration
is the length the ball was compressed
is the time
Finding from (7):
(8)
(9)
(10)
Substituting (10) in (6):
(11)
Finding :
(12)
<h3>c) Force applied to the ball by the bat </h3>
According to Newton's second law of motion, the force is proportional to the variation of momentum in time :
(13)
(14)
Finally:
C) Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object so acceleration is used to describe the rate of change. I hope this helps!!
If you repeat the experiment, you will want to do it the same way to see if the results change.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
Answer:
Angular frequency is 20 rad/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
A block is attached to an oscillating spring. The function below shows its position (cm) vs. time (s) is given by :
.....(1)
The general equation of oscillating particle is given by :
.......(2)
Compare equation (1) and (2) we get :
So, the angular frequency of the oscillation is 20 rad/s.
