A baseball, which has a mass of 0.685 kg., is moving with a velocity of 38.0 m/s when it contacts the baseball bat duringwhich t

Evgen [1.6K]

Answers:

a) $65.075 kgm/s$

b) $10.526 s$

c) $61.82 N$

Explanation:

<h3>a) Impulse delivered to the ball</h3>

According to the Impulse-Momentum theorem we have the following:

$I=\Delta p=p_{2}-p_{1}$ (1)

Where:

$I$ is the impulse

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$p_{2}=mV_{2}$ is the final momentum of the ball with mass $m=0.685 kg$ and final velocity (to the right) $V_{2}=57 m/s$

$p_{1}=mV_{1}$ is the initial momentum of the ball with initial velocity (to the left) $V_{1}=-38 m/s$

So:

$I=\Delta p=mV_{2}-mV_{1}$ (2)

$I=\Delta p=m(V_{2}-V_{1})$ (3)

$I=\Delta p=0.685 kg (57 m/s-(-38 m/s))$ (4)

$I=\Delta p=65.075 kg m/s$ (5)

This time can be calculated by the following equations, taking into account the ball undergoes a maximum compression of approximately $1.0 cm=0.01 m$ :

$V_{2}=V_{1}+at$ (6)

$V_{2}^{2}=V_{1}^{2}+2ad$ (7)

Where:

$a$ is the acceleration

$d=0.01 m$ is the length the ball was compressed

$t$ is the time

Finding $a$ from (7):

$a=\frac{V_{2}^{2}-V_{1}^{2}}{2d}$ (8)

$a=\frac{(57 m/s)^{2}-(-38 m/s)^{2}}{2(0.01 m)}$ (9)

$a=90.25 m/s^{2}$ (10)

Substituting (10) in (6):

$57 m/s=-38 m/s+(90.25 m/s^{2})t$ (11)

Finding $t$ :

$t=1.052 s$ (12)

<h3>c) Force applied to the ball by the bat </h3>

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force $F$ is proportional to the variation of momentum $\Delta p$ in time $\Delta t$ :

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$ (13)

$F=\frac{65.075 kgm/s}{1.052 s}$ (14)

Finally:

$F=61.82 N$

What is the relationship between dominant and recessive genes

Triss [41]

Dominant genes and recessive genes are both given to a parents offspring. However, not both can be expressed causing the difference of dominant and recessive. Dominant genes are more likely to be expressed and recessive genes are more likely to be repressed.
