A baseball (m=145g) traveling 35 m/s moves a fielder's glove backward 23 cm when the ball is caught. What was the average force
1 answer:
Answer:
386.13 N
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of the baseball is converted into workdone in moving the glove backward( work energy theorem).
Therefore, KE of the ball
Now, workdone in moving the glove
W= Fd
where F = Force applied, d = displacement of the glove= 0.23 cm.
88.81 = F×0.23
F= 88.81/0.23 = 386.13 N

The spring has been stretched 0.701 m
Explanation:
The elastic potential energy of a spring is the potential energy stored in the spring due to its compression/stretching. It is calculated as
where
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position
For the spring in this problem, we have:
E = 84.08 J (potential energy)
k = 342.25 N/m (spring constant)
Therefore, its elongation is:
