ASK YOUR TEACHER A baseball with a mass of 146 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 40.6 m/s (91 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is

in contact with the bat for 1.05 ms and then travels straight back at a speed of 45.1 m/s (101 mi/h). Determine the average force exerted on the ball by the bat. Neglect the weight of the ball (it is much smaller than the force of the bat) and choose the direction of the incoming ball to be positive. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the ball = 146 g = 146 / 1000 = 0.146 kg

initial speed of the ball = 40.6 m/s

final speed of the ball = - 45.1 m/s

time of impact = 1.05 ms = 1.05 / 1000 = 0.00105 s

impulse, Ft = change in momentum = mv - mu = m (v-u)

F = m (v - u) / t = 0.146 kg ( -45.1 -40.6) / 0.00105 s = -11916.4 N

A sailboat is traveling to the right when a gust of wind causes the boat to accelerate leftward at 2.5​​​​m​​/s2 for 4s. After t
Ber [7]

Answer:

+7.0 m/s

Explanation:

Let's take rightward as positive direction.

So in this problem we have:

a = -2.5 m/s^2 acceleration due to the wind (negative because it is leftward)

t = 4 s time interval

v = -3.0 m/s is the final velocity (negative because it is leftward)

We can use the following equation:

v = u + at

Where u is the initial velocity

We want to find u, so if we rearrange the equation we find:

u = v - at = (-3.0 m/s) - (-2.5 m/s^2)(4 s)=+7.0 m/s

and the positive sign means the initial direction was rightward.

What relationship exists between speed, velocity, and acceleration
enyata [817]
Velocity is speed and the direction of the speed. Acceleration is the rate at which Velocity is changing, and the direction in which it's changing.

Please help.. I'm desperate.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry.
