Answer:

The mass of the bat is 1.09 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

The balance point of the glove, x = 74.9 cm

Mass of the glove, m = 0.56 kg

Center of mass of the baseball bat, C = 25.3 cm

Let M is the mass of the bat. The center of mass is given by the formula as :

$C=\dfrac{MX+mx}{M+m}$

X is 0 as it is at a end

$C=\dfrac{mx}{M+m}$

$25.3=\dfrac{0.56\times 74.9}{M+0.56}$

M = 1.09 kg

So, the mass of the bat is 1.09 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

Muscles use force to move objects. When using a ramp to do work, would your muscles use more force or less force?

White raven [17]

Less because the ramp is letting off force but i does depend on the way you are going on the ramp

Using an example, explain how small atoms are.

Aliun [14]

Unlike a ball, an atom doesn't have a fixed radius. The radius of an atom can only be found by measuring the distance between the nuclei of two touching atoms, and then halving that distance... Does that answer your question?

I dont know what the statements are but concave lens are thinner in the middle which cause light to diverge or scatter

To solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of the description of angular movement.

The angular velocity can be described as

$\omega_f = \omega_0 + \alpha t$

Where,

$\omega_f =$ Final Angular Velocity

$\omega_0 =$ Initial Angular velocity

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

t = time

The relation between the tangential acceleration is given as,

$a = \alpha r$

where,

r = radius.

PART A ) Using our values and replacing at the previous equation we have that

$\omega_f = (94rpm)(\frac{2\pi rad}{60s})= 9.8436rad/s$

$\omega_0 = 63rpm(\frac{2\pi rad}{60s})= 6.5973rad/s$

$t = 11s$

Replacing the previous equation with our values we have,

$\omega_f = \omega_0 + \alpha t$

$9.8436 = 6.5973 + \alpha (11)$

$\alpha = \frac{9.8436- 6.5973}{11}$

$\alpha = 0.295rad/s^2$

The tangential velocity then would be,

$a = \alpha r$

$a = (0.295)(0.2)$

$a = 0.059m/s^2$

Part B) To find the displacement as a function of angular velocity and angular acceleration regardless of time, we would use the equation

$\omega_f^2=\omega_0^2+2\alpha\theta$

Replacing with our values and re-arrange to find $\theta,$

$\theta = \frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_0^2}{2\alpha}$

$\theta = \frac{9.8436^2-6.5973^2}{2*0.295}$

$\theta = 90.461rad$

That is equal in revolution to

$\theta = 90.461rad(\frac{1rev}{2\pi rad}) = 14.397rev$

The linear displacement of the system is,

$x = \theta*(2\pi*r)$

$x = 14.397*(2\pi*\frac{0.25}{2})$

$x = 11.3m$

Answer:

0.98kW

Explanation:

The conservation of energy is given by the following equation,

$\Delta U = Q-W$

$\dot{m}(h_1+\frac{1}{2}V_1^2+gz_1)-\dot{W} = \dot{m}(h_2+\frac{1}{2}V_2^2+gz_)$

Where

$\dot{m} =$ Mass flow

$h_1 =$ Specific Enthalpy (IN)

$h_2 =$ Specific Enthalpy (OUT)

$g =$ Gravity

$z_{1,2} =$ Heigth state (In, OUT)

$V_{1,2} =$ Velocity (In, Out)

Our values are given by,

$T_i = 10\°C$

$P_1 = 100kPa$

$\dot{m} = 5kg/s$

$z_2 = 20m$

For this problem we know that as pressure, temperature as velocity remains constant, then

$h_1 = h_2$

$V_1 = V_2$

Then we have that our equation now is,

$\dot{m}(gz_1) = \dot{m}(gz_2)+\dot{W}$

$\dot{W} = \frac{(5)(9.81)(0-20)}{1000}$

$\dot{W} = -0.98kW$
