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.

What are the products of a fusion reaction? Check all that apply. Lighter atoms energy heavier atoms a neutron a proton.
svet-max [94.6K]

The process by which two or more tiny nuclei unite to generate a bigger nucleus is known as a nuclear fusion reaction. Heavier atoms are products of a fusion reaction.

<h3 /><h3>What is nuclear fusion?</h3>

The process by which two or more tiny nuclei unite to generate a bigger nucleus is known as a nuclear fusion reaction.

For example, the fusion of two hydrogen atoms produces more energy than the fusion of one helium atom, and surplus energy is expelled into space upon binding.

Hence heavier atoms are e products of a fusion reaction.

To learn more about nuclear fusion refer to the link;

When blue light shines into a prism what happens?
9966 [12]

Answer:

Blue light has the shortest wavelength amongst all the colours that combine to make white light. This means the blue light diffracts (bends) the most out of all of them. There will be no dispersion of colours because ideally, the blue light must consist of only one frequency.

Compute the power output (watts) during one minute of treadmill exercise, given the following: Treadmill grade-10% Horizontal sp
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

c. 981 watts

P=981\ W

Explanation:

Given:

  • horizontal speed of treadmill, v=100\ m.min^{-1}=\frac{5}{3} \ m.s^{-1}
  • weight carried, w=588.6\ N
  • grade of the treadmill, G\%=10\%

<u>Now the power can be given by:</u>

P=v.w

P=588.6\times\frac{5}{3} (where grade is the rise of the front edge per 100 m of the horizontal length)

P=981\ W

Neutron stars consist only of neutrons and have unbelievably high densities. a typical mass and radius for a neutron star might
Tanya [424]
<span>Density is 3.4x10^18 kg/m^3 Dime weighs 1.5x10^12 pounds The definition of density is simply mass per volume. So let's divide the mass of the neutron star by its volume. First, we need to determine the volume. Assuming the neutron star is a sphere, the volume will be 4/3 pi r^3, so 4/3 pi 1.9x10^3 = 4/3 pi 6.859x10^3 m^3 = 2.873x10^10 m^3 Now divide the mass by the volume 9.9x10^28 kg / 2.873x10^10 m^3 = 3.44588x10^18 kg/m^3 Since we only have 2 significant digits in our data, round to 2 significant digits, giving 3.4x10^18 kg/m^3 Now to figure out how much the dime weighs, just multiply by the volume of the dime. 3.4x10^18 kg/m^3 * 2.0x10^-7 m^3 = 6.8x10^11 kg And to convert from kg to lbs, multiply by 2.20462, so 6.8x10^11 kg * 2.20462 lb/kg = 1.5x10^12 lb</span>
