The ball because the Kinetic Energy transfers from the bat to the ball, increasing the movement and acceleration of the ball because of the Kinetic Energy transferred from the origin force (The bat)

Answer: The ball.

Explanation: Right before the impact, the bat will have a bigger acceleration than the ball (assuming that the ball is trowed softly), and after the impact, there will be some energy of the bat transferred to the ball. As the ball has a lot less mass than the bat, it is "easily" accelerated:

Remember that the second Newton's law says that:

F = m*a

So, after the impact, the ball has a greater acceleration than the bat (Also, if the bat had more acceleration than the ball, it will "push" the ball, but you can see that the ball "escapes" to the bat after the initial impact).

The circumference of a bicycle wheel is 2 meters. if it rotates at 1 revolution per second then its linear speed is
tester [92]
Given:
Circumference = 2 m
Angular speed,  ω = 1 rev/s = 2π radians/s

If the radius is r, then
2πr = 2 
r = 1/π m

The linear (tangential) speed is
v = rω
   = (1/π m)*(2π rad/s) = 0.5 m/s

Answer: 0.5 m/s

The box is pushed to the left with 30 N of force, but does not move. What is the Friction Force?​
Andrews [41]

However here coefficient of friction is not given so unable to calculate.

You can calculate it by below formula.

The formula given by

\\ \sf\longmapsto F_f=\mu N

Or

\\ \sf\longmapsto F_f=\mu mg

u is coefficient of friction

N is normal reaction.

Here..

box doesn't move means the force if limiting friction is greater than applied force.

A 13kg box slides 4.0m down the frictionless ramp shown in the figure , then collides with a spring whose spring constant is 170
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The force on the box is:
F = mgsin∅
If we multiply by this with the distance it traveled, we will know the work done by the box. 
W = dmgsin∅

This work will be converted to elastic potential energy in the spring which is:
1/2 kx². Equating these and substituting values:
1/2 * 170 * x² = 4 * 13 * 9.81 * sin(30)
x = 1.73 m

The box's maximum speed will at the point right before contact with the spring, when the compression is 0.
