Before the impact, let the velocity of the baseball was v m/s.
After being hit by the bat its velocity is -2v
So, change in velocity, Deltav=v-(-2v)=3v
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity, i.e. actual change in velocity divided by the time taken to change it. Time taken to change velocity is the time of actual contact of the bat and ball, i.e. 0.31 s.
a=(Deltav)/(Deltat)
=(3v)/0.37
Therefore, a/v=3/0.31=9.7 s^-1
So, the ratio of acceleration of the baseball to its original velocity is 9.7.
Answer:
Explanation:
This is an application of Newton's second Law.
Formula
F = m * a
F = 300 N
m = 100 kg
a = ?
F = m * a
300N = 100 kg * a Divide by 100
300N/100kg = a
a = 3 m/sec^2
Answer: 200 N/m
Explanation:
The Gravitational spring energy(Us) is equal to 1/2kx^2. So we have x as .2 m and Us as 4 N. So 4 N = 1/2 * k * .2^2. So now we solve for K and get 200 N/m.
The difference between temperature and thermal energy is that temperature measures the average kinetic speed of molecule and thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all particles in a given substance.
