A baseball catcher is performing a stunt for a television commercial. He will catch a baseball (mass 145 g) dropped from a heigh

t of 66.0 m above his glove. His glove stops the ball in 0.0118 s. What is the force (in N) exerted by his glove on the ball? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Assume the baseball is traveling in the negative direction.)

Answer:

Explanation:

The ball is going down with velocity. It must have momentum . It is stopped by

catcher so that its momentum becomes zero . There is change in momentum . So force is applied on the ball by the gloves .

The rate of change of momentum gives the magnitude of force. This force must be in upward direction to stop the ball. So force is in positive direction .

Let us measure the force applied on the ball .

Final velocity after the fall by 66 m

V = √ 2gh

= √ 2x9.8 x 66

35.97 m /s

Momentum = m v

0.145 x 35.97

= 5.2156 kgms⁻¹

Change in momentum

= 5.2156 - 0

= 5.2156

Rate of change of momentum

= Change of momentum / time = 5.2156 / .0118

= 442 N

if R be the force exerted by gloves to stop the ball

R - mg represents the net force which stops the ball so

R - mg = 442

R = 442 + mg

= 442 + .145 x 908

443.43 N

The magnitude of <em>electrical</em> force on charge $q_{3}$ due to the others is 0.102 newtons.

<h3>How to calculate the electrical force experimented on a particle</h3>

The vector <em>position</em> of each particle respect to origin are described below:

$\vec r_{1} = (-0.500, 0)\,[m]$

$\vec r_{2} = (+0.500, 0)\,[m]$

$\vec r_{3} = (0, +0.500)\,[m]$

Then, distances of the former two particles particles respect to the latter one are found now:

$\vec r_{13} = (+0.500, +0.500)\,[m]$

$r_{13} = \sqrt{\vec r_{13}\,\bullet\,\vec r_{13}} = \sqrt{(0.500\,m)^{2}+(0.500\,m)^{2}}$

$r_{13} =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,m$

$\vec r_{23} = (-0.500, +0.500)\,[m]$

$r_{23} = \sqrt{\vec r_{23}\,\bullet \,\vec r_{23}} = \sqrt{(-0.500\,m)^{2}+(0.500\,m)^{2}}$

$r_{23} =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,m$

The resultant force is found by Coulomb's law and principle of superposition:

$\vec R = \vec F_{13}+\vec F_{23}$ (1)

Please notice that particles with charges of <em>same</em> sign attract each other and particles with charges of <em>opposite</em> sign repeal each other.

$\vec R = \frac{k\cdot q_{1}\cdot q_{3}}{r_{13}^{2}}\cdot \vec u_{13} +\frac{k\cdot q_{2}\cdot q_{3}}{r_{23}^{2}}\cdot \vec u_{23}$ (2)

Where:

$k$ - Electrostatic constant, in newton-square meters per square Coulomb.
$q_{1}$ , $q_{2}$ , $q_{3}$ - Electric charges, in Coulombs.
$r_{13}$ , $r_{23}$ - Distances between particles, in meters.
$\vec u_{13}$ , $\vec u_{23}$ - Unit vectors, no unit.

If we know that $k = 8.988\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}$ , $q_{1} = 2\times 10^{-6}\,C$ , $q_{2} = 2\times 10^{-6}\,C$ , $q_{3} = 2\times 10^{-6}\,C$ , $r_{13} =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,m$ , $r_{23} =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,m$ , $\vec u_{13} = \left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)$ and $\vec u_{23} = \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)$ , then the vector force on charge $q_{3}$ is:

$\vec R = \frac{\left(8.988\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} \right)\cdot (2\times 10^{-6}\,C)\cdot (2\times 10^{-6}\,C)}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,m \right)^{2}} \cdot \left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) + \frac{\left(8.988\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} \right)\cdot (2\times 10^{-6}\,C)\cdot (2\times 10^{-6}\,C)}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,m \right)^{2}} \cdot \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)$

$\vec R = 0.072\cdot \left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) + 0.072\cdot \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)\,[N]$

$\vec R = 0.072\cdot \left(0, -\sqrt{2}\right)\,[N]$

And the magnitude of the <em>electrical</em> force on charge $q_{3}$ ( $R$ ), in newtons, due to the others is found by Pythagorean theorem:

$R = 0.102\,N$

The magnitude of <em>electrical</em> force on charge $q_{3}$ due to the others is 0.102 newtons. $\blacksquare$

Why do soundwaves move faster than the ground than through the air

Sati [7]

Answer:

Particles of matter are packed more tightly in the ground than in the air

Explanation:

the reason is that sound waves are vibrations of the molecules of the medium: therefore, if the particles of the medium are closer together (as in solids), the vibrations can be transmitted faster, and the wave can travel faster

Calculate the acceleration of a skier heading down a 10.0º slope, assuming the coefficient of friction for waxed wood on wet sno

lutik1710 [3]

(a) 0.74 m/s^2

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the skier: the component of the weight parallel to the slope, which acts downward, and the frictional force, which acts upward along the incline.

The component of the weight parallel to the inclined plane is:

$W= m g sin \theta$

where m is the mass of the skier, $g=9.81 m/s^2$ and $\theta=10^{\circ}$ .

The frictional force is instead

$F_f = -\mu m g cos \theta$

$\mu=0.1$ is the coefficient of friction for waxed wood on wet snow.

If we apply Newton's second law, we can write that the net force must be equal to the product of mass per acceleration:

$mgsin \theta -\mu mg cos \theta =ma$

And symplifying m, we can find the acceleration:

$a=g sin \theta-\mu g cos \theta=$

$=(9.81 m/s^2)(sin 10^{\circ})-(0.1)(9.81 m/s^2)(cos 10^{\circ})=0.74 m/s^2$

(b) $5.7^{\circ}$

Explanation:

This time, the skier is moving at constant velocity. Therefore, the acceleration is zero (a=0) and Newton's second law becomes:

$mg sin \theta - \mu m g cos \theta=0$

By simplifying, we get

$tan \theta = \mu$

From which we can find the angle at which the skier could coast at a constant velocity:

$\theta= tan^{-1} (\mu) = tan^{-1} (0.1)=5.7^{\circ}$
