A pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 143 g horizontally at a speed of 38.8 m/s (87 mi/h). The hitter's bat is in contact w

ith the ball for 1.20 ms and then travels straight back to the pitcher's mound at a speed of 45.9 m/s (103 mi/h). Determine the average force exerted on the ball by the bat. Neglect the weight of the ball (it is much smaller than the force of the bat) and choose the direction of the incoming ball to be positive. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Answer:

F = −10093.41 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a baseball, m = 143 g = 0.143 kg

Initial speed of the baseball, u = +38.8 m/s

The hitter's bat is in contact with the ball for 1.20 ms and then travels straight back to the pitcher's mound at a speed of 45.9 m/s, v = -45.9 m/s

We need to find the average force exerted on the ball by the bat. So, Force is given by :

F=ma

a is acceleration

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.143\times (-45.9-(38.8))}{1.2\times 10^{-3}}\\\\F=-10093.41\ N

So, the average force exerted on the ball by the bat has a magnitude of 10093.41 N.

A sand core used to form the internal surfaces of a steel casting experiences a buoyancy force of 225 n. the volume of the mold
pashok25 [27]

Newton’s second law gives us the relationship of force F, mass m and acceleration a. The formula is given as:

<span>F = m a                  --> 1</span>

However we also know that the relationship of mass m, density ρ, and volume V is:

<span>m = V ρ                 --> 2</span>

Therefore substituting equation 2 to equation 1:

F = ρ V a = ρ V g

where a is acceleration due to gravity, ρ is density of water and V is the volume of the casting, therefore:

F = (1x10^-3 kg/cm^3) (4840 cm^3) (9.8 m/s^2)

F = 47.432 kg m/s^2

F = 47.432 N

 

Going back to equation 1:

47.432 N = m (9.8 m/s^2)

m = 4.84 kg

 

<span>Hence the weight of the final casting is 4.84 kg</span>

inn [45]

Answer:

<em>The greatest amount of energy is carried by a wave with the  largest frequency.</em>

Explanation:

<em>velocity= frequency X wavelength </em>

<em>If the three waves moves with the same t the speed of light, then those with the largest frequency have more energy. </em>

<em>That is to say,  a wave with a higher frequency and a  lower  wavelength will have the highest energy.</em>

Mars2501 [29]

The electromagnetic radiation that will be smartest to use is gamma rays.

<h3>Electromagnetic radiation</h3>

These are waves that does not require material medium for their propagation.

The wave with high frequency has a greater rate of penetration while those with high wavelength has lesser rate of penetration.

Thus, it will be smart to use the wave with high frequency, which means a low wavelength. The electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency and low wavelength is gamma rays.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

11.1 cm

Explanation:

Let d be the depth upto which box dipped into water.

Volume of water displaced

.12\times .12\times d m^3\\

=.0144d

Weight of water displaced = upthrust

=.0144d\times 10^3\times g\\    [ density of water is 1000kg /m³]

=14.4dg This will act upwards.

Total downward force = 1.2 +.4 = 1.6 g

For equilibrium

1.6g = 14.4 gd

d = .111 m

=11.1 cm.
