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.

Of waterfalls with a height of more than 50 m , Niagara Falls in Canada has the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Power output: W=1426.9MW

Explanation:

The power output of the falls is given mainly by its change in potential energy:

Q=-P_{tot}=-(P_{2}-P_{1})

The potential energy for any point can be calculated as:

P=m*g*h

If we consider the base of the falls to be the reference height, at point 2 h=0, so P2=0, and height at point 1 equals 52m:

Q=P_{1}=m*g*h

If we replace m with the mass rate M we obtain the rate of change in potential energy over time, so the power generated:

W=M*g*h=2.8*10^{3}m^{3}/s*1*10^{3}kg/m^{3}*9.8m/s^{2}*52m =1426.9MW

How does the end point differ from the equivalence <br>point of a titration?​
Gwar [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Equivalence point and end point are terminologies in pH titrations and they are not the same. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a <em>titration the substance</em> added slowly to a solution usually through a pippette is called titrante and the solution to which it is added is called titrand. In acid-base titrations acid is added to base or base is added to acid.the strengths of the <em>acid and base titrated</em> determines the nature of the final solution.

At equivalence point the <em>number of moles of the acid</em> will be equal to the number of moles of the base as given in the equation.  The nature of the final solution determines the <em>pH at equivalence point. </em>

<em>A pH less than 7 will be the result if the resultant is acidic and if it is basic the pH will be greater than 7. </em>In a strong base-strong acid and weak base-weak acid titration the pH at the equivalence point will be 7 indicating <em>neutral nature of the solution. </em>

Looking straight downward into a rain puddle whose surface is covered with a thin film of gasoline, you notice a swirling patter
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

 

Explanation:

Point beneath you forms a beautiful iridescent green

refractive index of Gasoline n=1.38

Wavelength of Green light is \lambda =540\ nm

Here light first traverse from air(n=1) to gasoline , it reflects from  front surface of gasoline(n=1.38) so it suffers a phase change. After this light reflect from rear surface of gasoline and there is a decrease in refractive index(n=1.38 to n=1.33), so there is no phase change occurs .

For constructive interference

2t=(m+\frac{1}{2})\cdot \frac{\lambda }{n}

here t= thickness of gasoline film

n=refractive index

for m=0

t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}

t=\frac{540}{4\times 1.38}

t=97.82\approx 98\ nm
