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

Why must mine tailings be stored and disposed of carefully
Pachacha [2.7K]

 

Mine tailings be stored and disposed of carefully since they contain a lot of chemicals that are very toxic that leaches into aquifers, and they also runoff in the rainwater into streams and lakes.

Tailings, also called mine <span>dumps, culm dumps, slimes, tails, refuse, leach residue or slickens, are the materials left over after the process of separating the valuable fraction from the uneconomic fraction (gangue) of an ore.</span>

Car B is rounding the curve with a constant speed of 54 km/h, and car A is approaching car B in the intersection with a constant
levacccp [35]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Car B is rounding the curve with a constant speed of 54 km/h, and car A is approaching car B in the intersection with a constant speed of 72 km/h. The x-y axes are attached to car B. The distance separating the two cars at the instant depicted is 40 m. Determine: the angular velocity of Bxy rotating frame (ω).

Answer:

the angular velocity of Bxy rotating frame (ω) is 0.15 rad/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and image below and as illustrated in the second image;

distance S = 40 m

V_B = 54 km/hr

V_A = 72 km/hr

α = 100 m

now, angular velocity of Bxy will be;

ω_B = V_B / α

so, we substitute

ω_B = ( 54 × 1000/3600) / 100

ω_B = 15 / 100

ω_B = 0.15 rad/s

Therefore, the angular velocity of Bxy rotating frame (ω) is 0.15 rad/s

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect on our lives
denpristay [2]
Positive - Friction allows us to create heat in a desperate situation, like being lost in the woods. If we didn't have friction, we would probably freeze to death.
Negative - Friction can also cause unwanted fires, such as forest fires. If friction didn't exist, we wouldn't have these.
