The value of using the International System of Units when describing motion is that these units are universally accepted - so an observer that uses these units to describe a motion in a place can compare his results to the results of the same experiment made by another obserber in a different place.

For example, if I measure the speed of a car, and I measure it is 20 m/s, and then another observer measures the speed of another car, and he finds it is 25 m/s, we are able to compare the two speeds and tell which one is greater. On the contrary, if we use two different units (e.g. km/h and miles/h), it would be difficult to compare the two results.

Flauer [41]
     Using the Definition of Kinetic Energy, we have:

E_{c}= \frac{mv^2}{2}  \\ E_{c}= \frac{8*4^2}{2}  \\ \boxed {E_{c}=64J}

A batter hits a foul ball. The 0.140-kg baseball that was approaching him at 40.0 m/s leaves the bat at 30.0 m/s in a direction
lara31 [8.8K]
<h3>Answer</h3><h3>7 Ns</h3><h3>Explanation</h3>

Given in the question,

mass of foul ball = 0.140 kg

initial speed with which ball was hit with the bat = 30 m/s

final speed  = 40 m/s

According to the scenario the whole scene is making a right angle triangle

So, to the solve the question we will use pythagorus theorem

<h3>Hypotenuse² = base² + height²</h3>

Here,

Hypotenuse= Magnitude of impulse

Base = 1st change of momentum

height = 2nd change of momentum

 

1st impulse (1st change of momentum)

p = m(1)v(1) = (0.14 kg)(40.0 m/s) = 5.6 kg m / s = 5.6 N s

2nd impulse (2nd change of momentum)

p = m(2)v(2) = (0.14 kg)(30.0 m/s) = 4.2 kg m / s = 4.2 N s

Magnitude of impulse (hypotenuse of triangle)

impulse² = (5.6)² + (4.2)²

impulse² = 31.36 + 17.64

impulse² = 49

impulse² = √49

impulse = 7.0 N s

A circle has an initial radius of 50ft when the radius begins decreasing at a rate of 2ft/s. what is the rate of change of the a
valkas [14]
The area of the circle with radius r is
A = πr²

The rate of change of area with respect to time is
\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dA}{dr} . \frac{dr}{dt} =2 \pi r. \frac{dr}{dt}

The rate of change of the radius is given as
\frac{dr}{dt} =-2 \,  \frac{ft}{s}
Therefore
\frac{dA}{dt} =-4 \pi r \,  \frac{ft^{2}}{s}

When r = 10 ft, obtain
\frac{dA}{dt}|_{r=10 \, ft} = -40 \pi  \,  \frac{ft^{2}}{s}

Answer: - 40π ft²/s (or - 127.5 ft²/s)
