To catch a fast-moving ball, you extend your hand forward before contact with the ball and let it ride backward in the direction

of the ball's motion. Doing this reduces the force of contact on your hand principally because the Group of answer choices force of contact is reduced relative velocity is less time of contact is increased time of contact is decreased none of these

Answer:

C: time of contact is increased

Explanation:

When a ball is falling from height, it maintains the same mass but velocity may change depending on the conditions in that environment.

Now, to catch the ball on your palm, you need to find a way to reduce the momentum of the ball upon hitting your hand.

Now, to reduce the momentum, we need to apply impulse.

This is because we know that;

Impulse(I) = F × t = change in momentum (m(v - u))

Thus;

I = Ft

F = I/t

We are told that extending the hand reduces the force of contact on your hand.

Thus;

For F which is the force to be reduced, the denominator (t) has to be increased.

Thus, the correct answer is that time of contact is increased

An automobile with a standard differential turns sharply to the left. The left driving wheel turns on a 20-m radius. Distance be
Inessa05 [86]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Inner wheel Radius = 20 m,

   Distance between left and right wheel = 1.5m,

Let us assume speed of drive shaft is N rpm.

Formula to calculate angular velocity is as follows.

    Angular velocity of automobile = w = \frac{V}{R}

where,   V = linear velocity of automobile m/min,

              R = turning radius from automobile center in meter

In the given case, angular velocity remains same for inner and outer wheel but there is change in linear velocity of inner wheel and outer wheel.

Now, we assume that

         u = linear velocity of inner wheel

and,   u' = linear velocity of outer wheel.

Formula for angular velocity of inner wheel w = ,

Formula for angular velocity of outer wheel w =

Now, for inner wheels

                   w =

                      = \frac{u}{(R - d)}

                  u = V \times \frac{(R - d)}{R}

                    = V \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})

If radius of wheel is r it will cover  distance in one min.

Since, velocity of wheel is u it will cover distance u in unit time(min)

Thus,             u = 2\pi rn = V \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})

Now, rotation per minute of inner wheel is calculated as follows.

         n = \frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})}

            = \frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 - \frac{0.75}{20})} (since 2d = 1.5m given, d = 0.75m),

             = \frac{V}{r} \times 0.1532

So, rotation per minute of outer wheel; n' =  

                   = \frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 + \frac{0.75}{20})}

                   = \frac{V}{r} \times 0.1651
