In a good hit, a baseball and bat are in contact with each other for about 1 millisecond. In the first game of the 2012 World Se

ries, Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander threw a 100-mph pitch to the Giants' Pablo Sandoval. Sandoval's hit returned the ball directly back at Verlander at 70 mph. Calculate the average force of the bat on the ball, during the contact. Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

Explanation:

100 mph = 100 x 1760 x 3 / ( 60 x 60 )

= 146.67 ft / s

70 mph = 70 x 1760 x 3 / ( 60 x 60 )

= 102.67 ft/s

Let mass of the ball = m .

The ball which was moving with a velocity of 146.67 ft/s is turned back by the action of force of bat on the ball and it moved in opposite direction with velocity of - 102.67 ft/s ( - ve sign due to reversed direction )

If m be the mass of ball

change in momentum = m x 146.67 - ( - m x 102.67 )

=  m x 146.67 +  m x 102.67

= 249.34 m

Change in momentum = impulse = force x time

Putting the given values

249.34 m = force x 1 x 10⁻³ ( time = 10⁻³ s )

force = 249.34 m x 10³ poundal .

Here m is mass of the ball in lb .

Debido al desorden en el laboratorio un científico tiene 2 termómetros diferentes pero no sabe en qué escalas están por lo que d
just olya [345]

Answer:

La escala del termómetro ''A'' es grados Celsius.

La escala del termómetro ''B'' es grados Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Para hallar en qué escalas están los termómetros partimos de que la mezcla a la cuál se midió su temperatura mantuvo su temperatura constante.

Esto quiere decir que los termómetros están expresando la misma temperatura pero en una escala distinta.

Sabemos que dada una temperatura en grados Celsius ''C'' si la queremos convertir a grados Fahrenheit ''F'' debemos utilizar la siguiente ecuación :

F=(\frac{9}{5})C+32 (I)

Ahora, si reemplazamos y asumimos que la temperatura de 18° es en grados Celsius, entonces si reemplazamos C=18 en la ecuación (I) deberíamos obtener F=64.4 ⇒

F=(\frac{9}{5}).(18)+32=32.4+32=64.4

Efectivamente obtenemos el valor esperado. Finalmente, corroboramos que la temperatura del termómetro ''A'' está medida en grados Celsius y la temperatura del termómetro ''B'' en grados Fahrenheit.

Korolek [52]
The main (and only) purpose of the turbine in the turbo jet engine is to drive the air compressor. The turbojet engine works by compressing the air using an inlet and a compressor, then mixing the fuel with the compressed air, then passing the mixture to the combustor, then passing the high pressure air through a turbine and a nozzle.

The ozone layer is found in which layer of the atmosphere
prohojiy [21]

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question

The ozone layer is found in which layer of the atmosphere?

A. Stratosphere

B. Mesosphere

C. Thermosphere

D. Troposphere

The correct answer is A. Stratosphere

Explanation:

The ozone layer as indicated by its name is mainly composed of Ozone (O2), this layer is essential for life because it filters ultraviolet radiation and acts as a greenhouse effect gas by trapping part of the heat from the sun. Additionally, the ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, which is the second layer of the atmosphere and can be found between 20 km to 50 km from Earth's surface. Moreover, the existence of the ozone layer in the stratosphere makes the temperature increase with height due to the radiation of the sun filter by ozone.
