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.

Answer:
The minimum speed required is 2.62m/s
Explanation:
The value of gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s^2
Radius of the vertical circle = R = 0.7 m
Given the mass of the pail of water = m
The speed at the highest point of the circle = V
The centripetal force will be needed must be more than the weight of the pail of water in order to not spill water.
Below is the calculation:
