A 50 kg pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 0.15 kg. If the ball is thrown with a positive velocity of 35 m/s and there is
Andreas93 [3]

The velocity of the pitcher is <u>0.105 m/s</u> in a direction opposite to the velocity of the ball.

When no external force acts on a system, the total momentum of the system is conserved. The total initial momentum of the system is equal to the total final momentum of the system.

The pitcher and the ball are initially at rest, therefore, the total initial momentum of the system is zero.

Since no external forces act on the system comprising of pitcher and the ball, the total final momentum of the system is also equal to zero.

If the mass of the pitcher is mp and its speed is vp, the mass of the ball is mb and the ball's speed is vb, then the final momentum of the system of pitcher and the ball is given by,

p=m_pv_p+m_bv_b=0

Therefore,

v_p=-\frac{m_b}{m_p} v_p

Substituet 0.15 kg for mb, 50 kg for mp and 35 m/s for vb.

v_p=-\frac{m_b}{m_p} v_p=-\frac{0.15 kg}{50 kg} (35m/s)=-0.105 m/s

The pitcher has a velocity <u> 0.105 m/s</u> opposite to the direction of the velocity of the ball.

At the local playground, a 21-kg child sits on the right end of a horizontal teeter-totter, 1.8 m from the pivot point. On the l
Ksju [112]

Answer:

By convention a negative torque leads to clockwise rotation and a positive torque leads to counterclockwise rotation.

here weight of the child =21kgx9.8m/s2 = 205.8N

the torque exerted by the child Tc = - (1.8)(205.8) = -370.44N-m ,negative sign is inserted because this torque is clockwise and is therefore negative by convention.

torque exerted by adult Ta = 3(151) = 453N , counterclockwise torque.

net torque Tnet = -370.44+453 =82.56N , which is positive means counterclockwise rotation.

b) Ta = 2.5x151 = 377.5N-m

Tnet = -370.44+377.5 = 7.06N-m , positive ,counterclockwise rotation.

c)Ta = 2x151 = 302N-m

Tnet = -370.44+302 = -68.44N-m, negative,clockwise rotation.

You are viewing a read out of an oscilloscope that shows you when different voltages in a circuit maximize. If the period of the
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The time is  t = 0.02 \ s  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The period of the circuit is  T  =  0.04

Generally voltage maximization of the capacitor occurs during the voltage minimization of the inductor and vise versa

So the time between the voltage maximization of the capacitor and that of the inductor is mathematically represented as

           t = \frac{T}{2}

=>        t = \frac{0.04}{2}

=>        t = 0.02 \ s

Will mark as brainliest if correct!!!!!!!!
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Light refracts when its speed changes as it enters a new medium.

Explanation:

Bending of light wave while it entering a medium with different speed is called refraction of light. Light passing from a faster medium to the slower medium bends the light rays toward the normal to boundary between two media. The amount of the  bending of light depends on refractive index of the two media which is described by  the Snell's Law. The angle of incidence is not equal to  angle of refraction. Rainbow is caused but this refraction phenomena. Also Refraction is used in magnifying glasses, prism and lenses
