The batter swings and misses the 40 m/s (90 mph) fastball, and the ball (mass 150 grams) ends up at rest in the catcher's mitt.

How much work does the catcher perform on the ball
Physics

5 0

Answer:

The work done by the catcher is 120 J.

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the fastball, v = 40 m/s

mass of the fastball, m = 150 g = 0.15 kg

Based on work-energy theorem, the work done by the catcher is equal to the kinetic energy of the fastball.

The kinetic energy of the fastball is given as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 0.15 x 40²

K.E = 120 J

Therefore, the work done by the catcher is 120 J.

A 12 Volt lead-acid car battery, engineered for "up to 500 or more charge/discharge cycles," has a rating of 95.0 Ampere-hours.
Lena [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrical energy = potential x charge

potential = 12V ,

Charge = 95 amp-hours

= 95 x 60 x 60 coulomb

= 342000 coulomb

Electrical energy stored in battery  = 342000 x 12

= 4104000 J

= 4.1 x 10⁶ J .

A bus initially moving at 20 m/s with an acceleration of -4m/s² for 5
Alborosie

Answer:

50m; 0m/s.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 20m/s

Acceleration, a = - 4m/s²

Time, t = 5secs

To find the displacement, we would use the second equation of motion;

S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

S =20*5 + \frac{1}{2}*(-4)*5^{2}

S =100 + (-2)*25

S =100 - 50

S = 50m

Next, to find the final velocity, we would use the third equation of motion;

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2aS

Where;

  • V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.
  • U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.
  • a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

<em>Substituting into the equation, we have;</em>

V^{2} = 20^{2} + 2(-4)*50

V^{2} = 400 - 400

V^{2} = 0

V = 0m/s

<em>Therefore, the displacement of the bus is 50m and its final velocity is 0m/s.</em>

D. There's not enough research surrounding it. A big question is if they have side effects due to genetic modification that we don't know of.

(Not sure if you had D eliminated or? But it should be the correct answer)
