The force acting on the ball are unbalanced. Reactionary momentum force (that originated as a result of the swing of the bat) is the most powerful.
Yes friction is acting on the ball. In course of journey it would slow the ball down and make it trace a parabolic path rather than straight path as intended by hitter.
Explanation:
As the hitter hits the ball, momentum of the bat due to swing (mass of the bat*velocity provided by the batsman swinging action of bat) gets transferred on the ball on its impact with the bat.
Since ball’s mass is quite small as compared to the bat, the velocity of the ball increases by the same factor by which the ball’s mass is lower than the bat’s mass. This velocity causes forward motion of the ball (of course in the direction of bat’s motion, here the batsman intends to send the ball straight away hence the ball would move straight).
Various forces on ball is-
- Reactionary momentum force -bat’s force (most powerful force)
- The frictional force of the air (opposing the motion of the ball through the air)
- Gravity force (pulling the ball down to the Earth)
As a combined effect of these force when all the force remains unbalanced, the ball moves away in the straight path under the impact of bats momentum which was most powerful of all.
Frictional force and Gravity force continue acting on the ball. While frictional forces decrease the ball velocity through the air, gravity force pulls it down thus deflecting its direction. Under the combined impact of declining bats momentum, friction force and gravity force, the ball traces a parabolic path (in accordance with the first law of motion from Newton)
Explanation:
Given that,
Average power of sun 
We need to calculate the intensity of light at Earth's position
Using formula of intensity

Where, I = intensity
P = power
Put the value into the formula


So, The intensity is 1347.616 W/m².
(A). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective
Using formula for fully reflective

Put the value into the formula


(B). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective
Using formula for fully absorptive



Hence, This is the required solution.
Buoyant force is the force that is a result from the pressure exerted by a fluid on the object. We calculate this value by using the Archimedes principle where it says that the upward buoyant force that is being exerted to a body that is immersed in the fluid is equal to the fluid's weight that the object has displaced. Buoyant force always acts opposing the direction of weight. We calculate as follows:
Fb = W
Fb = mass (acceleration due to gravity)
Fb = 64.0 kg ( 9.81 m/s^2)
Fb = 627.84 kg m/s^2
Therefore, the buoyant force that is exerted on the diver in the sea water would be 627.84 N
Answer:
2 is the numerical answer.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information and formula, it is possible for us to remember that equation for the calculation of the average kinetic energy of a gas is:

Whereas R is the universal gas constant, NA the Avogadro's number and T the temperature.
Which means that for the given ratio, we can obtain the value as follows:
