A baseball, which has a mass of 0.685 kg., is moving with a velocity of 38.0 m/s when it contacts the baseball bat duringwhich t

Evgen [1.6K]

Answers:

a) $65.075 kgm/s$

b) $10.526 s$

c) $61.82 N$

Explanation:

<h3>a) Impulse delivered to the ball</h3>

According to the Impulse-Momentum theorem we have the following:

$I=\Delta p=p_{2}-p_{1}$ (1)

Where:

$I$ is the impulse

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$p_{2}=mV_{2}$ is the final momentum of the ball with mass $m=0.685 kg$ and final velocity (to the right) $V_{2}=57 m/s$

$p_{1}=mV_{1}$ is the initial momentum of the ball with initial velocity (to the left) $V_{1}=-38 m/s$

So:

$I=\Delta p=mV_{2}-mV_{1}$ (2)

$I=\Delta p=m(V_{2}-V_{1})$ (3)

$I=\Delta p=0.685 kg (57 m/s-(-38 m/s))$ (4)

$I=\Delta p=65.075 kg m/s$ (5)

This time can be calculated by the following equations, taking into account the ball undergoes a maximum compression of approximately $1.0 cm=0.01 m$ :

$V_{2}=V_{1}+at$ (6)

$V_{2}^{2}=V_{1}^{2}+2ad$ (7)

Where:

$a$ is the acceleration

$d=0.01 m$ is the length the ball was compressed

$t$ is the time

Finding $a$ from (7):

$a=\frac{V_{2}^{2}-V_{1}^{2}}{2d}$ (8)

$a=\frac{(57 m/s)^{2}-(-38 m/s)^{2}}{2(0.01 m)}$ (9)

$a=90.25 m/s^{2}$ (10)

Substituting (10) in (6):

$57 m/s=-38 m/s+(90.25 m/s^{2})t$ (11)

Finding $t$ :

$t=1.052 s$ (12)

<h3>c) Force applied to the ball by the bat </h3>

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force $F$ is proportional to the variation of momentum $\Delta p$ in time $\Delta t$ :

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$ (13)

$F=\frac{65.075 kgm/s}{1.052 s}$ (14)

Finally:

$F=61.82 N$

A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Fr

astraxan [27]

Answer:

x = 0.0734 m = 7.34 cm

Explanation:

First we shall calculate the area of the piston:

$Area = \pi radius^2\\Area = \pi (0.028\ m)^2\\Area = 0.00246\ m^2$

Now, we will calculate the force on the piston due to atmospheric pressure:

$Atmospheric\ Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}\\\\Force = (Atmospheric\ Pressure)(Area)\\Force = (101325\ N/m^2)(0.00246\ m^2) \\Force = F = 249.56\ N$

Now, for the compression of the spring we will use Hooke's Law as follows:

$F = kx\\$

where,

k = spring constant = 3400 N/m

x = compression = ?

Therefore,

The volumes of a sample of lead and a sample of platinum are the same: 2 cm3. The density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3 and the density

Vlad1618 [11]

The answer is C. The mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample. As I explained in a previous answer, if they are the same volume, but one is heavier, then it must be more dense. In this particular example, the platinum is more dense than the lead, and therefore has more mass.
