"A 0.15 kg ball moving at 40 m/s is struck by a bat. The bat reverses the ball's direction and gives it a speed of 50 m/s. What

average force does the bat apply to the ball if they are in contact for 6.0 ×10 -3 s?"

Answer:

-2250 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Using.

F = m(v-u)/t .................. Equation 1

Where F = Average force the bat apply to the ball, m = mass of the ball, v = final velocity of the ball, u = initial velocity of the ball, t = time.

Given: m = 0.15 kg, v = -50 m/s(reversed direction), u = 40 m/s, t = 6.0×10⁻³ s = 0.006 s.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.15(-50-40)/0.006

F = 0.15(-90)/0.006

F = -2250 N.

The force is negative because it opposes the initial motion of the ball.

Hence the bat average force = -2250 N

Why are solar winds potentially fatal for organisms living on earth?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Solar winds contain high levels of radiation which could lead to various health related complications in living organisms on Earth. These complications include and are not limited to radiation sickness, chromosomal damage, and cancer. However, solar winds are blocked by the Earth's magnetic field, only posing problems to our telecommunications.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

(a) 0.942 m

(b) 18.84 m/s

(c) 2366.3 m/s²

(d) 0.05 s

Explanation:

(a) In one revolution, it travels through one circumference, 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 0.15 m = 0.942 m.

(b) Its frequency, f, is 1200 rev/min = \dfrac{1200}{60}rev/s = 20 rev/s.

Its angular frequency, ω = 2πf = 2π × 20 = 40π

The speed is given by

v = ωr = 40π × 0.15 = 6π = 18.84 m/s

(c) Its acceleration is given by, a = ω²r = (40π)² × 0.15 = 2366.3 m/s²

(d) The period is the inverse of the frequency because it is the time taken to complete one revolution.

T = \dfrac{1}{f}

T = 1/20 = 0.05 s

B. Inelastic collision.

In elastic collision , both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved while in inelastic collision only momentum is conserved. there is some loss of energy in inelastic collision during collision.

During the collision of bat with baseball, some energy gets lost to heat and sound. hence the kinetic energy is not conserved although the momentum is conserved.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

a) a = 4.9 m/s²

b) a = 1.5 m/s²

Explanation:

no friction

F = ma

gsinθ = ma

a = gsinθ

a = 9.8sin30

a = 4.9 m/s²

friction

gsinθ - μmgcosθ = ma

a = g(sinθ - μcosθ)

a = 9.8(sin30 - 0.4cos30)

a = 1.5051...
