Collaboration in science is important because if only one scientist does an experiment, and gets a result, he/she could have messed. So this is where collaboration comes in. A few other scientists could try the experiment, and if they get the same answers, the result may be proven correct.
Hope this helped!
C volume because the volume take up the Mater and space around it thing
Hooke's Law states that the extension is directly proportional to the force applied so:
F/x = constant
F₁/x₁ = F₂/x₂
2 / 0.02 = 1600 / x₂
x₂ = 16 m
Elastic work = 1/2 Fx
= 1/2 * 1600 * 16
= 12.8 kJ
Answers:
a) 
b) 
c) 
Explanation:
<h3>a) Impulse delivered to the ball</h3>
According to the Impulse-Momentum theorem we have the following:
(1)
Where:
is the impulse
is the change in momentum
is the final momentum of the ball with mass
and final velocity (to the right) 
is the initial momentum of the ball with initial velocity (to the left) 
So:
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
<h3>b) Time </h3>
This time can be calculated by the following equations, taking into account the ball undergoes a maximum compression of approximately
:
(6)
(7)
Where:
is the acceleration
is the length the ball was compressed
is the time
Finding
from (7):
(8)
(9)
(10)
Substituting (10) in (6):
(11)
Finding
:
(12)
<h3>c) Force applied to the ball by the bat </h3>
According to Newton's second law of motion, the force
is proportional to the variation of momentum
in time
:
(13)
(14)
Finally:
