Answer:

Pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²

Explanation:

Force applied on baseball = 30 times weight of the ball.

Weight of ball = mg, where m is the mass of ball and g is acceleration due to gravity value.

We have force applied is also equal to product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma = 30 x mg

a = 30g

So, pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²

A 500 kg sack of coal falls vertically onto a 2000 kg railroad flatcar which was initially moving horizontally at 3 m/s. no exte

Zinaida [17]

Since there are no external forces, including friction, act on the flatcar. after the sack rests on the flatcar, we would assume that momentum is conserved. This means that

total momentum of car before collision = total momentum of car after collision.

Recall,

momentum = mass x velocity

From the information given,

mass of car before collision = 2000

velocity of car before collision = 3

Thus,

total momentum of car before collision = 2000 x 3 = 6000

Also,

mass of sack = 500

mass of car and sack after collision = 500 + 2000 = 2500

velocity after collision = v

momentum after collision = 2500 x v = 2500v

Since momentum is conserved, then

6000 = 2500v

v = 6000/2500

v = 2.4

the speed of the flatcar is 2.4 m/s

After the box comes to rest at position x1, a person starts pushing the box, giving it a speed v1. when the box reaches position

KiRa [710]

As we know by work energy theorem

total work done = change in kinetic energy

so here we can say that wok done on the box will be equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system

$W_p = KE_f - KE_i$

initial the box is at rest at position x = x1

so initial kinetic energy will be ZERO

at final position x = x2 final kinetic energy is given as

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2$

now work done is given as

$W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 - 0$

so we can say

$W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2$

so above is the work done on the box to slide it from x1 to x2

A large truck collides with a small car. True or False: The truck exerted a greater magnitude force on the car than the car exer

Reptile [31]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The forces on the car and truck are equal and opposite. The equal forces cause accelerations of the truck and car inversely proportional to their mass. That is, If the Truck A exerts a force FAB on car B, then the car will exert a force FBA on the truck. Therefore,

FBA = −FAB

However, this can be explained by Newton's second law. Let's say the truck has mass M and the car has mass m. If the magnitude of the force that both vehicles experience is F, then the magnitudes of their respective accelerations are:

atruck = F/M

acar = F/m

and combining these we get:

atruck/acar = m/M

So if the mass of the car is a lot less than the mass of the truck, then the acceleration of the truck is much smaller than the acceleration of the car, and if you were to watch the collision, the truck would pretty much seem like it's motion was unaffected, but the car's motion will change quite a bit.
