What is wrong with the following statement: When you exert a force on a baseball, the equal and opposite force on the ball balan

Answer:

When you exert a force on a baseball, there exists an equal and opposite force on the ball therefore, the ball will accelerate in opposite direction.

Explanation:

When you hit a ball with baseball bat, the bat exerts a great force on the ball which causes the ball to accelerate in the opposite direction. It is to be noted that the mass of bat is much greater than mass of ball but the acceleration of ball is also greater than the acceleration of the bat so both bat and ball almost exert same magnitude of force but in opposite direction and as a result both bat and ball accelerate in opposite direction, the deciding factor is of course the relative force applied by the batter and the bowler.

A 480 g falcon reaches a speed of 75 m/s in a vertical dive. if we assume that the falcon speeds up under the influence of gravi
poizon [28]

Answer:

286.7 m

Explanation:

So we are assuming the PE of the falcon is converted to KE

KE = PE

1/2 (.480)(75)^2 = .480 (9.81)(h )    solve for h = 286.7 m

You're driving down the highway late one night at 21 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 35 m in front of you. Your reaction tim
andreev551 [17]

Speed with which initially car is moving is 21 m/s

Reaction time = 0.50 s

distance traveled in the reaction time d = v t

d = 21 * 0.50 = 10.5 m

deceleration after this time = -10 m/s^2

now the distance traveled by the car after applying bakes

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2a d

0 - 21^2 = 2(-10)d

d = 22.05 m

so total distance moved before it stop

d = 22.05 + 10.5 = 32.55 m

so the distance from deer is 35 - 32.55 = 2.45 m

now to find the maximum speed with we can move we will assume that we will just touch the deer when we stop

so our distance after brakes are applied is d = 35 - 10.5 = 24.5 m

again by kinematics

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 ad

0 - v^2 = 2(-10)(24.5)

v = 22.1 m/s

so maximum speed would be 22.1 m/s

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!
Karolina [17]

Answer:

1.00 m/s^2

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F is the net force acting on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, F=35 N (the force applied by Amber) and

m=32 kg+3 kg=35 kg

is the mass of the wagon + the brother, so the acceleration of the wagon and the brother is

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{35 N}{35 kg}=1.00 m/s^2

If light and sound travel from point A to point B and start at the same time, which will reach point B first?

At the presentation ceremony, a championship bowler is presented a 1.60-kg trophy which he holds at arm's length, a distance of
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

a)10.28 Nm

b)9.93 Nm

Explanation:

Let g = 9.81m/s2. First we can calculate the weight of the trophy

W = mg = 1.6 * 9.81 = 15.696 N

(a) The torque is product of force and its moment arm

T = WL = 15.696 * 0.655 = 10.28 Nm

(b) Suppose his arm makes an angle of 15 degree with respect to the horizontal line. We can still calculate the arm length, or the horizontal distance from the trophy to the champion:

L_2 = Lcos(15^0) = 0.655cos(15^0) = 0.655*0.966 = 0.633 m

Again, torque is product of force and its moment arm

T_2 = WL_2 = 15.696 * 0.633 = 9.93 Nm
