A 58-kg boy swings a baseball bat, which causes a 0.140-kg baseball to move toward 3rd base with a velocity of 38.0 m/s.

Answer:
Explanation:
Kinetic energy can be found using the following formula:
The mass of the baseball is 0.140 kilograms and the velocity is 38.0 meters per second.
Substitute the values into the formula.
First, evaluate the exponent.
- (38.0 m/s)²= 38.0 m/s * 38.0 m/s = 1444 m²/s²
Multiply the two numbers in parentheses together.
Multiply the fraction by the number, or divide the number by 2.
Round to the nearest whole number. The 0 in the tenth place tells us we can leave the number as is.
1 kg*m²/s² is equal to 1 Joule. Therefore, our answer of 101 kg*m²/s² is equal to 101 Joules (J).
The kinetic energy of the baseball is about 101 Joules.

Answer:
a) 0 b) 29.9 N c) 21.7 N d) -17.4 N e) -13.0 N f) -17.4 N g) 16.9 N
h) 24.3 N θ = 44.2º
Explanation:
a) As the electric force is exerted along the line that joins the charges, due to any of the charges A or C has non-zero x-coordinates, the force has no x components either.
So, Fcax = 0
b) Similarly, as Fx = 0, the entire force is directed along the y-axis, and is going upward, due both charges repel each other.
Fyca = k*qa*qc / rac² = (9.10⁹ N*m²/C²*(2.79)*(1.07)*10⁻⁸ C²) / 9.00 m²
Fyca = 29. 9 N
c) In order to get the magnitude of the force exerted by B on C, we need to know first the distance between both charges:
rbc² = (3.00 m)² + (4.00m)² = 25.0 m²
⇒ Fbc = k*qb*qc / rbc² = (9.10⁹ N*m²/C²*(5.64)*(1.07)*10⁻⁸ C²) / 25.0 m²
⇒ Fbc = 21.7 N
d) In order to get the x component of Fbc, we need to get the projection of Fcb over the x axis, taking into account that the force on particle C is attractive, as follows:
Fbcₓ = Fbc * cos (-θ) where θ, is the angle that makes the line of action of the force, with the x-axis, so we can write:
cos θ = x/r = 4.00 / 5.00 m =
Fcbx = 21.7*(-0.8) = -17.4 N
e) The y component can be calculated in the same way, projecting the force over the y-axis, as follows:
Fcby = Fcb* sin (-θ) = 21.7* (-3.00/5.00) = -13.0 N
f) The sum of both x components gives :
Fcx = 0 + (-17.4 N) = -17.4 N
g) The sum of both y components gives :
Fcy = 29.9 N + (-13.0 N) = 16.9 N
h) The magnitude of the resultant electric force acting on C, can be found just applying Pythagorean Theorem, as follows:
Fc = √(Fcx)²+(Fcy)² = (17.4)² + (16.9)² = 24.3 N
The angle from the horizontal can be found as follows:
Ф = arc tg (16.9 / 17.4) = 44.2º
