If the pitched ball was traveling 77 mph before stanton's bat hit it and 120 mph after his bat hit it, by what amount did the sp

eed of stanton's bat decrease due to the collision? (give your response as a positive value in units of miles per hour. assume that the bat and ball are moving in a single dimension. a baseball has a weight of 5 ounces and the bat stanton uses has a weight of 32 ounces.)

here we will use the concept of Newton's III law

as per Newton's III law the impulse given to the ball is same as the impulse lost by the bat

So here we will say

impulse gain by the ball = impulse lost by the bat

m_1(v_f - v_i) = m_2(\Delta v)

given that

m_1 = 5 ounce

m_2 = 32 ounce

For ball the change in speed will be

v_f - v_i = (120 - 77)mph

now from above equation

5\times (120 - 77) = 32 \times \Delta v

\Delta v = 6.72 mph

so speed of bat will decrease by 6.72 mph

If the timber weighs 670 N, calculate its angle of inclination when the water surface is 2.1 m above the pivot. Above what depth
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Q = 40.1 degrees

Explanation:

Given:

- The weight of the timber W = 670 N

- Water surface level from pivot y = 2.1 m

- The specific density of water Y = 9810 N / m^3

- Dimension of timber = (0.15 x 0.15 x 0.0036) m

Find:

- The angle of inclination Q that the timber makes with the horizontal.

Solution:

- Calculate the Flamboyant Force F_b acting upwards at a distance x along the timber, which is unknown:

                                   F_b = Y * V_timber

                                   F_b = 9810*0.15*0.15*x

                                   F_b = 226.7*x N

- Take static equilibrium conditions for the timber, and take moments about the pivot:

                                   (M)_p = 0

                                   W*0.5*3.6*cos(Q) - x/2 * F_b*cos(Q) = 0

- Plug values in:

                                   670*0.5*3.6 - x^2 * 0.5*226.7 = 0

                                   x^2 = 1206 / 113.35

                                   x = 3.26 m

- Now use the value of x and vertical height y to compute the angle of inclination to be:

                                   sin(Q) = y / x

                                   sin(Q) = 2.1 / 3.26

                                   Q = sin^-1 (0.6441718)

                                   Q = 40.1 degrees

A box slides down a ramp inclined at 24◦ to the horizontal with an acceleration of 1.7 m/s 2 . The acceleration of gravity is 9.
dsp73

Answer:

<h3>0.445</h3>

Explanation:

In friction, the coefficient of friction formula is expressed as;

\mu = \frac{F_f}{R}

Ff is the frictional force = Wsinθ

R is the reaction = Wcosθ

Substitute inti the equation;

\mu = \frac{Wsin \theta}{W cos\theta} \\\mu = \frac{sin \theta}{cos\theta} \\\mu = tan \theta

Given

θ = 24°

\mu = tan 24^0\\\mu = 0.445\\

Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.445
