We can use the textbook results for head-on elastic collisions to analyze the recoil of the Earth when a ball bounces off a wall

embedded in the Earth. Suppose a professional baseball pitcher hurls a baseball (m = 155 grams = 0.155 kg) with a speed of 103 miles per hour (vball = 45.3 m/s) at a wall, and the ball bounces back with little loss of kinetic energy.(a) What is the recoil speed of the Earth (M = 6multiply1024 kg)?

Answer:

Recoil velocity; v2 = 1.17 x 10^(-24) m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of baseball; m1 = 0.155 kg

Velocity of baseball; v1 = 45.3 m/s

Mass of earth; m2 = 6 x 10^(24) kg

Lets the recoil velocity be v2.

From conservation of momentum, initial momentum is equal to final momentum.

Thus,

m1•v1 = m2v2

Thus, v2 = m1•v1/m2

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

v2 = 0.155 x 45.3/(6 x 10^(24))

v2 = 1.17 x 10^(-24) m/s

Answer:

The explaination and attachment better portrays the answer. kindly check explaination.

Explanation:

To be able to solve for the kinetic energy and the recoil speed. Let have an understanding of those words.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. If an object is moving, it is said to have kinetic energy.

Please kindly check attachment for the detailed answer.

A crane lifts an air conditioner to the top of a building. If the building is 12 m high, and the air conditioner has a mass of 2
Pepsi [2]

Work needed = 23,520 J

<h3> Further explanation </h3>

Given

height = 12 m

mass = 200 kg

Required

work needed by the crane

Solution

Work is the transfer of energy caused by the force acting on a moving object  

Work is the product of force with the displacement of objects.  

Can be formulated  

W = F x d  

W = Work, J, Nm  

F = Force, N  

d = distance, m  

F = m x g

Input the value :

W = mgd

W = 200 kg x 9.8 m/s²x12 m

W = 23520 J

Why are the wheels on a roller coaster hot after a ride. (I know it’s due to friction but I need more of a detailed answer).
telo118 [61]
2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....

1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy
