A pitcher throws a 0.144-kg baseball toward the batter so that it crosses home plate horizontally and has a speed of 42 m/s just

before it makes contact with the bat. The batter then hits the ball straight back at the pitcher with a speed of 47 m/s. Assume the ball travels along the same line leaving the bat as it followed before contacting the bat. (a) What is the magnitude of the impulse delivered by the bat to the baseball? 12.816 N · s (b) If the ball is in contact with the bat for 0.0046 s, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the bat on the ball? kN (c) How does your answer to part (b) compare to the weight of the ball? Fav mg =

(a) 12.8 kg m/s

The impulse delivered by the bat on the baseball is equal to the change in momentum of the baseball:

I=\Delta p = m(v-u)

where we have

m = 0.144 kg is the mass of the ball

v = -47 m/s is the final velocity of the ball

u = 42 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball

Substituting into the equation, we find

I=(0.144 kg)(-47 m/s-(42 m/s))=-12.8 kg m/s

And since we are interested in the magnitude only,

I=12.8 kg m/s

(b) 2.78 kN

The impulse exerted on the ball is also equal to the product between the average force and the contact time:

I=F\Delta t

where

F is the average force exerted on the ball

\Delta t=0.0046 s is the contact time

Solving the formula for F, we find

F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{12.8 kg m/s}{0.0046 s}=2783 N = 2.78 kN

(c) The force exerted on the ball is much larger (1988 times more) than the weigth of the ball

The weight of the ball is given by

W=mg

where

m = 0.144 kg is the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Solving the equation for W, we find

W=(0.144 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=1.4 N

So as we see, the force exerted on the ball (2783 N) is almost 2000 times larger than the weight of the ball (1.4 N):

\frac{F}{W}=\frac{2783 N}{1.4 N}=1988

The tilt of the moon's axis does not allow for monthly alignment, so the lunar and solar eclipse do not happen every month.

<h3>How do the lunar and solar eclipse occur?</h3>
  • For the occurrence of lunar and solar eclipse, the sun, moon and the earth must remain in a plan and along a straight line.
  • When the earth appears in between the sun and the moon, lunar eclipse occurs.
  • When the moon appears in between the sun and the earth, solar eclipse occurs.
  • The moon and earth are rotating not only around the sun, but also around the black hole of Milky way galaxy.
  • So they are not present in a plan as well as in a straight line in every full moon and new moon time.

Thus, we can conclude that the option D is correct.

PLEASE HELP!
Harman [31]
Hey user!

your answer is here..

correct option is A. steel

we know that sounds travel faster in solid as compared to gas and liquids. in gas the molecules are very loosely packed and there is lot of space between so it takes more time to pass sound from each other. and in liquid, the molecules are closer as compared to gas hence it will be little faster and in solid, the molecules are very tightly packed so it will be the fastest. and among these options, steel is the only solid so the speed of sound in steel will be the fastest.

and note that the closer the molecules are to each other ( tightly packed ) makes the bond also tighter and less time to pass sound.

cheers!!

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Neptune is approximately 41 times as far from the sun as Venus

Explanation:

Estimate = distance of Neptune from the sun ÷ distance of Venus from the sun = 4.5×10^9 ÷ 1.18×10^8 = 40.9 (approximately 41)

When energy is converted from one form to another in a chemical or physical change, which of the following also changes by a mea
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

None of the above

Explanation:

When energy is converted from one form to another in a chemical or physical change, none will change. This is due to the law of conservation of energy. It states that the total energy of the system remains constant. It only changes energy from one form of energy to another. So, the correct option is (d) "none of the above".
