Answer:
The stitches and dimples around a baseball and a golf ball respectively, disturbs the air drag on the balls once they are in motion, allowing the them to travel more easily.
Explanation:
The stitches on a baseball disturbs the air drag on the ball when the ball is in motion, allowing the ball to travel more easily. Depending on the orientation of the ball in flight, the drag changes as the flow is disturbed by the stitches.
A smooth ball with no stitches or dimples has more air drag that opposes the motion.
A golf ball is smooth ball with dimples to create a thin turbulent boundary layer of air that clings to the ball's surface. This allows the smoothly flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little farther around the back side of the ball, thereby decreasing the size of the wake, and allowing the ball to travel more easily.
Answer:
The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.
Explanation:
The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation:
, where
is the final velocity,
is the initial velocity,
the acceleration, and
is the time during such acceleration is applied.
Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case:
, where
because the sled is totally stopped,
is the velocity of the sled before braking and,
is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.
In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration:
, where
is the distance traveled,
is the initial velocity,
the time of the process and,
is the acceleration of the process.
Then for this case the relationship becomes:
.
<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>
Answer:
a = -4/5 m/s^2
Explanation:
Acceleration = change in velocity / time
change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity
a = (20 m/s - 60 m/s) / 50 s
a = -40 m/s / 50 s
a = -4/5 m/s^2
