Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to

Lonnie with a return speed of 60 m/s. If the bat is in contact with the ball for 0.050 s what is the impulse experienced by the ball? A. 360 N.s B. 20 N.s C. 400 N.s D. 9.0 N.s

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s

A spaceprobe has an 29.0 m length when measured at rest. What length

elixir [45]

Answer:

The observer sees the space-probe 9.055m long.

Explanation:

Let $L_0$ be the length of the space-probe when measured at rest, and $L$ be its length as observed by an observer moving at velocity $v$ , then

$(1).\: \: L = L_0\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2} }$

Now, we know that $L_0 = 29.0m$ and $v = 0.95c$ , and putting these into $(1)$ we get:

$L = 29\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.95c)^2}{c^2} }$

$L = 29\sqrt{1-0.95^2 }$

$\boxed{L = 9.055m}$

Thus, an observer moving at 0.95c observes the space-probe to be 9.055m long.

A block of mass 27.00 kg sits on a horizontal surface with, coefficient of kinetic

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The force is $F = 172 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the block is $m_b = 27.0 \ kg$

The coefficient of static friction is $\mu_s = 0.65$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_k = 0.50$

The normal force acting on the block is

$N = m * g$

substituting values

$N = 27 * 9.8$

$N = 294.6 \ N$

Given that the force we are to find is the force required to get the block to start moving then the force acting against this force is the static frictional force which is mathematically evaluated as

$F_f = \mu_s * N$

substituting values

$F_f = 0.65 * 264.6$

$F_f = 172 \ N$

Now for this block to move the force require is equal to $F_f$ i.e

$F= F_f$

=> $F = 172 \ N$
