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.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

E = 307667  N/C

Explanation:

Since the object's mass is 1 g, then its weight in newtons is 0.001 * 9.8 = 0.0098 N.

This weight should have the same magnitude of the vertical component of the tension T of the string (T * cos(37)) so we can find the magnitude of the tension T via:

0.0098 N = T * cos(37)

then T = 0.0098/cos(37) N = 0.01227 N

Knowing the tension's magnitude, we can find its horizontal component:

T * sin(37) = 0.007384 N

and now we can obtain the value of the electric field since we know the charge of the ball to be: -2.4 * 10^(-8) C:

0.007384 N = E * 2.4 * 10^(-8) C

Then  E = 0.007384/2.4 * 10^(-8)  N/C

E = 307667  N/C

A speed-time graph is shown below:
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: 0.5 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Average acceleration a_{ave} is the variation of velocity \Delta V over a specified period of time \Delta t:

a_{ave}=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}}

Where:

\Delta V=V_{f}-V_{o} being V_{o}=0 cm/s the initial velocity and V_{f}=4 cm/s the final velocity  (according to the information given from the described graph)

\Delta t=8 s

Then:

a_{ave}=\frac{4 cm/s -0 cm/s}{8 s}}

a_{ave}=0.5 m/s^{2}

You are pulling a child in a wagon. The rope handle is inclined upward at a 60∘ angle. The tension in the handle is 20 N.
dem82 [27]
  • Angle (θ) = 60°
  • Force (F) = 20 N
  • Distance (s) = 200 m
  • Therefore, work done
  • = Fs Cos θ
  • = (20 × 200 × Cos 60°) J
  • = (20 × 200 × 1/2) J
  • = (20 × 100) J
  • = 2000 J
