A baseball pitcher throws the ball towards the batter at 90 mph. His bat connects with the ball for a line drive, after which th

e ball is moving back towards the pitcher at 110 mph. The bat was in contact with the ball for 0.0007 sec. The ball weighs 145 g. (There are 1600 meters in a mile.) a. Convert all measurements into MKS units. b. What is the force on the baseball when it is hit by the bat?

Answer:

F=-18412.9N, where the minus indicates the direction is opposite to that of the throw.

Explanation:

a)

Since MKS stands for meter-kilogram-second and we know that:

1\ hour = 3600\ seconds

1\ mile = 1600\ meters

1000g = 1kg

We can write that:

\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds}=1

\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile}=1

\frac{1kg}{1000g}=1

These are conversion factors, equal to 1, so multiplying our results by them won't change their value, only their units.

So we have that:

90 mph=90 \frac{miles}{hour}(\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds})(\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile})=40m/s

110 mph=110 \frac{miles}{hour}(\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds})(\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile})=48.89m/s

145 g=145 g(\frac{1kg}{1000g})=0.145kg

b)

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma, and the definition of acceleration is a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}, so we have:

F=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

Taking the throw direction as the positive one, for our values we have:

F=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}=(0.145kg)\frac{(-48.89m/s)-(+40m/s)}{0.0007s}=-18412.9N

What happens to a light wave when it travels from air into glass?
tino4ka555 [31]
Light is refracted when it crosses the interface from air to glass in which it moves more slowly.
Since the light speed changes at the interface, the wave length of the light must change too. The wave length decreases as the light enter the medium and the light wave changes direction.

The potential energy of a particle as a function of position will be given as U(x) = A x2 + B x + C, where U will be in joules w
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

F = - 2 A x - B

Explanation:

The force and potential energy are related by the expression

      F = - dU / dx i ^ -dU / dy j ^ - dU / dz k ^

Where i ^, j ^, k ^ are the unit vectors on the x and z axis

The potential they give us is

     U (x) = A x² + B x + C

Let's calculate the derivatives

    dU / dx = A 2x + B + 0

The other derivatives are zero because the potential does not depend on these variables.

Let's calculate the strength

      F = - 2 A x - B

Why are the constellations in the summer sky different from those in the winter?
atroni [7]
This happens because of the earth rotating around the sun. So we see different constellations for different seasons.

A motorbike is traveling to the left with a speed of 27.0 m s 27.0 s m ​ 27, point, 0, start fraction, start text, m, end text,
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity , u = 27 m/s

displacement before stop,  s = 41.5 m .

final velocity,  v = 0

acceleration a = ?

v² = u² + 2 a s

0 = 27² + 2 x a x 41.5

a = - 27² / 2 x 41.5

= - 8.78 m /s
