The rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

The speed by which rock hit the water is calculated by the formula

v= $\sqrt{2gh}$

v= $\sqrt{2*9.8*12.7}$

v=15.78 m/sec

Hence, the rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

A cat runs at 2 m/s for 3 s and then slows to a stop with an acceleration of 0.80 m/s2. What is

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

see that the correct one is B

Explanation:

To solve this exercise let us use the kinematic relations

v² = v₀² - 2 a x

as they indicate that the car stops, therefore the final speed is yield v = 0

x = v₀² / 2a

let's calculate

x = 2²/(2 0.8)

x = 2.5 m / s²

When reviewing the answers we see that the correct one is B

A baseball, which has a mass of 0.685 kg., is moving with a velocity of 38.0 m/s when it contacts the baseball bat duringwhich t

Evgen [1.6K]

Answers:

a) $65.075 kgm/s$

b) $10.526 s$

c) $61.82 N$

Explanation:

<h3>a) Impulse delivered to the ball</h3>

According to the Impulse-Momentum theorem we have the following:

$I=\Delta p=p_{2}-p_{1}$ (1)

Where:

$I$ is the impulse

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$p_{2}=mV_{2}$ is the final momentum of the ball with mass $m=0.685 kg$ and final velocity (to the right) $V_{2}=57 m/s$

$p_{1}=mV_{1}$ is the initial momentum of the ball with initial velocity (to the left) $V_{1}=-38 m/s$

So:

$I=\Delta p=mV_{2}-mV_{1}$ (2)

$I=\Delta p=m(V_{2}-V_{1})$ (3)

$I=\Delta p=0.685 kg (57 m/s-(-38 m/s))$ (4)

$I=\Delta p=65.075 kg m/s$ (5)

<h3>b) Time </h3>

This time can be calculated by the following equations, taking into account the ball undergoes a maximum compression of approximately $1.0 cm=0.01 m$ :

$V_{2}=V_{1}+at$ (6)

$V_{2}^{2}=V_{1}^{2}+2ad$ (7)

Where:

$a$ is the acceleration

$d=0.01 m$ is the length the ball was compressed

$t$ is the time

Finding $a$ from (7):

$a=\frac{V_{2}^{2}-V_{1}^{2}}{2d}$ (8)

$a=\frac{(57 m/s)^{2}-(-38 m/s)^{2}}{2(0.01 m)}$ (9)

$a=90.25 m/s^{2}$ (10)

Substituting (10) in (6):

$57 m/s=-38 m/s+(90.25 m/s^{2})t$ (11)

Finding $t$ :

$t=1.052 s$ (12)

<h3>c) Force applied to the ball by the bat </h3>

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force $F$ is proportional to the variation of momentum $\Delta p$ in time $\Delta t$ :

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$ (13)

$F=\frac{65.075 kgm/s}{1.052 s}$ (14)

Finally:

$F=61.82 N$
