A baseball bat balances 74.9 cm from one end. If an 0.560-kg glove is attached to that end, the balance point moves 25.3 cm towa
1 answer:
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 :
X is 0 as it is at a end
M = 1.09 kg
So, the mass of the bat is 1.09 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:
a) t = 20 [s]
b) Can't land
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations, it is of great importance to note that when the plane lands it slows down until it reaches rest, ie the final speed will be zero.
a)
where:
Vf = final velocity = 0
Vi = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]
a = desacceleration = 5 [m/s^2]
t = time [s]
Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the aircraft slows down as it stops.
0 = 100 - 5*t
5*t = 100
t = 20 [s]
b)
Now we can find the distance using the following kinematics equation.
x - xo = distance [m]
x -xo = (0*20) + (0.5*5*20^2)
x - xo = 1000 [m]
1000 [m] = 1 [km]
And the runaway is 0.8 [km], therefore the jetplane needs 1 [km] to land. So the jetpalne can't land
