A baseball bat hits a baseball with a force of 100 newtons. What is the force and its direction exerted by the ball on the bat?
1 answer:
Answer:
The force exerted by the ball on the bat has a magnitude of 100 N and its direction is exactly opposite to that of the force exerted by the bat on the ball.
Explanation:
Recall that Newton's third law tells us that : "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
Therefore if the bat acts on the ball with a force of 100 N, the ball acts on the bat with a similar magnitude of force (100 N) but direction opposite to the original force.

Given that,
Mass of the stone, m = 400 g = 0.4 kg
Initial speed, u = 20 m/s
It is climbed to a height of 12 m.
To find,
The work done by the resistance force.
Solution,
Let v is the final speed. It can be calculated by using the conservation of energy.
Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. It can be given as follows :
So, the required work done is 32.99 J.
