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 block of mass m= 2.8 kg is attached to a spring of spring constant k= 500 N/m. the block is pulled to an initial position x =
padilas [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy stored in a spring

= 1/2 k x²

where k is spring constant and x is extension in the spring.

= .5 x 500 x .05²

= .625 J

Work done by friction = energy dissipated

= - μmg x d , μ is coefficient of friction , m is mass , d is displacement

= - .35 x 2.8 x 9.8 x .05

= - .48 J

energy of the mass when it reaches equilibrium position

= .625 - .48

= .145 J

If v be its velocity at that time

1/2 m v ² = .145

.5 x 2.8 x v² = .145

v² = .10357

v = .32 m /s

32 cm /s

You attach a 1.70 kg block to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the block until the spring is stretched by
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

maximum speed of the block is 3.14 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass = 1.70 kg

stretch in the spring = 0.2 m

time take by block to come to zero  t = 0.2 s

solution

we know that Time period of oscillation (T) that is express as

T = 2t    ......................1

put here value

T = 2 (0.2)

T = 0.4 s

so here time period is express as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}     ................2

here k is spring constant of the spring so  put here value

0.4  =  2(\pi ) \sqrt{\frac{1.70}{k}}  

here k will be

k = 419.02 N/m

so we use here conservation of energy that is

Maximum kinetic energy = Maximum spring potential energy   ............3

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

here v is maximum speed block

so put here value and we get

(1.70) v² = (419.02) (0.2)²

v = 3.14 m/s

so maximum speed of the block is 3.14 m/s

A stone is dropped from a cliff and falls 9.44 meters. What is the speed of the stone when it reaches the ground?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,                                              

height of the drop of stone = 9.44 m

speed of the stone = ?                          

As the stone is dropped the energy of the stone will be conserved.

using conservation of energy.            

Potential energy = Kinetic energy    

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2} m v^2  

     v = \sqrt{2gh}                  

     v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 9.44}

     v = \sqrt{185.024}              

            v = 13.60 m/s                      

Hence, the correct answer is option A

You pull with a force of 77 N on a piece of luggage of mass 23 kg, but it does
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The force of static friction acting on the luggage is, Fₓ = 180.32 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the luggage, m = 23 kg

You pulled the luggage with a force of, F = 77 N

The coefficient of static friction of luggage and floor, μₓ = 0.8

The formula for static frictional force is,

                                      Fₓ = μₓ · η

Where,

                                  η - normal force acting on the luggage 'mg'

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                                   Fₓ = 0.8 x 23 x 9.8

                                        = 180.32 N

Hence, the minimum force require to pull the luggage is, Fₓ = 180.32 N
