Average acceleration of the baseball: $-101 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Since the motion of the baseball is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement of the object

For the baseball in this problem, we have:

u = 2.2 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (it comes to a stop)

s = 24 mm = 0.024 m is the displacement of the ball while decelerating

Therefore, we can solve for a to find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{0-2.2^2}{2(0.024)}=-101 m/s^2$

where the negative sign means the baseball is slowing down.

A mechanic pushes a 2.60 ✕ 103-kg car from rest to a speed of v, doing 5,430 J of work in the process. During this time, the car

Oduvanchick [21]

Part A. We are given that a car is pushed from rest to a final speed doing 5430 Joules of work. -

To determine the final velocity we will use the work and energy theorem which states that the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy:

$W=K_f-K_0$

Since the car starts from rest this means that the initial kinetic energy is zero:

$W=K_f$

The kinetic energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Substituting in the formula we get:

$W=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2$

Now, we solve for the final velocity. First, we multiply both sides by 2 and divide both sides by the mass:

$\frac{2W}{m}=v_f^2$

Now, we take the square root to both sides:

$\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m}}=v_f$

Now, we plug in the values:

$\sqrt{\frac{2(5430J)}{2.6\times10^3kg}}=v_f$

Solving the operations:

$2.04\frac{m}{s}=v_f$

Therefore, the final velocity is 2.04 m/s.

Part B. Now, we use the following formula for work:

$W=Fd$

Where "F" is the force and "d" is the distance.

Now, we set this equation equal to the work done by the force:

$Fd=5430J$

Now, we divide both sides by the distance "d":

$F=\frac{5430J}{29m}=187.2N$

Therefore, the force exerted is 187.2 Newton.

What is the final velocity of a car that is originally traveling 12 m/s and then undergoes an acceleration of 2.3m/s squared for

Katarina [22]

To solve this problem we use the general kinetic equations.

We need to know the time it takes for the car to reach 130 meters.

In this way we have to:

$x(t) = x_0 + v_0t + 0.5at ^ 2$

Where

$x_0$ = initial position

$v_0$ = initial velocity

$a$ = acceleration

$t$ = time

$x(t)$ = position as a function of time

$130 = 0 + 12(t) + 0.5(2.3)t ^ 2$

$1.15t ^ 2 + 12t - 130$ .

We use the quadratic formula to solve the equation.

$t = \frac{-12 \± \sqrt {(12) ^ 2-4(1.15)(- 130)}}{2 (1.15)}$

t = 6.63 s and t = -17.1 s

We take the positive solution. This means that the car takes 6.63 s to reach 130 meters.

Then we use the following equation to find the final velocity:

$v_f = v_0 + at$

Where:

$v_f$ = final speed

$v_f = 12 +2.23(6.63)$

The final speed of the car is 27.25 m/s
