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.

Which best describes how the current scientific model of the atom was developed?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

A. The model was the result of hundreds of years of experiments.

Explanation:

Since it is not possible to visualize an atom in isolation, scientists have spent hundreds of years experimenting and creating atomic models, that is, images that serve to explain the constitution, properties and behavior of atoms.

The earliest who imagined the existence of the atoms were the Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus in about 450 BCE. According to them, everything would be formed by tiny indivisible particles. Hence the origin of the name "atom", which comes from the Greek a (no) and tome (parts).

But in the nineteenth century, some scientists began to conduct experimental tests increasingly accurate thanks to technological advances. Not only was it discovered that everything was actually made up of tiny particles, but it was also possible to understand more and more about the atomic structure.

Scientists used the information discovered by other scholars to develop the atomic model. In this way, the discoveries of one scientist were replaced by those of others. The concepts that were correct remained, but those that proved to be non-real were now abandoned. Thus, new atomic models were created. This series of discoveries of the atomic structure until arriving at the accepted models today was known like the evolution of the atomic model.
