Before the impact, let the velocity of the baseball was v m/s.
After being hit by the bat its velocity is -2v
So, change in velocity, Deltav=v-(-2v)=3v
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity, i.e. actual change in velocity divided by the time taken to change it. Time taken to change velocity is the time of actual contact of the bat and ball, i.e. 0.31 s.
a=(Deltav)/(Deltat)
=(3v)/0.37
Therefore, a/v=3/0.31=9.7 s^-1
So, the ratio of acceleration of the baseball to its original velocity is 9.7.
The law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum
is conserved, therefore total initial momentum should be equal to total final
momentum. In this case, we can expressed this mathematically as:
mA vA + mB vB = m v
where, m is the mass in kg, v is the velocity in m/s
since m is the total mass, m = mA + mB, we can write the
equation as:
mA vA + mB vB = (mA + mB) v
furthermore, car B was at a stop signal therefore vB = 0,
hence
mA vA + 0 = (mA + mB) v
1800 (vA) = (1800 + 1500) (7.1 m/s)
<span>vA = 13.02 m/s</span>
Answer:
A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth
Explanation:
The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.
Let's see instead the names of the other options:
B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth --> this point is called apogee
C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun --> this point is called perihelion
D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name
I totally agree but, in my opinion its because of the government and what the state has control over. Teacher have little control over it.
