The acceleration of a baseball pitcher's hand as he delivers a pitch is extreme. For a professional player, this acceleration ph

ase lasts only 50 ms, during which the ball's speed increases from 0 to about 90 mph, or 40 m/s.
What is the force of the pitcher's hand on the 0.145 kg ball during this acceleration phase? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

116 N.

Explanation:

Given,

mass of the ball, m = 0.145 Kg

initial speed = 0 m/s

Final speed = 40 m/s

time = 50 ms = 0.05 s

Force is equal to change in momentum per unit time

F = \dfrac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}

F = \dfrac{0.145(40-0)}{0.05}

F = 116 N

Force of the pitcher hand on the ball is equal to 116 N.

What is the average acceleration of the particle between 0 seconds and 4 seconds? A. 0 meters/second2 B. 0.04 meters/second2 C.
lisov135 [29]

Answer

D. 0.25 meters/second2

Explanation

The average acceleration is the ratio of change in velocity to the change in time of travel.Taking in this case that the change of velocity is a unit, then Average acceleration is given by;

Aacc=Vf-Vi/Tf-Ti

where Vf=final velocity,Vi=initial velocity' Tf=final time, Ti=initial time

Vf-Vi=1m/s

Tf-Ti=4-0=4seconds

Avacc=1/4=0.25m/s2

An astronaut is a short distance away from her space station without a tether rope. She has a large wrench. What should she do w
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.

Explanation:

According to <u>Newton's third law of motion</u>, <em>when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.</em>  

To understand it better:  

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.  

So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.
