Homer Agin leads the Varsity team in home runs. In a recent game, Homer hit a 34.5 m/s sinking curve ball head on, sending it of

f his bat in the exact opposite direction at 23.9 m/s. The actually contact between ball and bat lasted for 0.00075 seconds. Determine the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during the contact with the bat in m/s/s. Do not include units or /- sign. Round your answer to a whole number.

Answer:

–77867 m/s/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Acceleration = (final velocity – Initial velocity) /time

a = (v – u) / t

With the above formula, we can obtain acceleration of the ball as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (–23.9 – 34.5) / 0.00075

a = –58.4 / 0.00075

a = –77867 m/s/s

Thus, the acceleration of the ball is –77867 m/s/s.

A copper wire 225m long must experience a voltage drop of less than 2.0v when a current of 3.5 a passes through it. compute the
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

V = I * R

R = 2 / 3.5 = .571 ohms     maximum resistance of wire

R = ρ L / A  where R is proportional to L and inversely proportional to A

A = ρ L / R     minimum area of wire

ρ = 1 / μ  =     1.67E-8 ohm-m      resistivity inverse of conductivity

A = 1.67E-8 ohm-m * 225 m / .571 ohm = 6.68E-6 m^2

A = 6.68 mm^2       since 1 mm^2 = 10-6 m^2   or 1 mm = 10-3 m

A = Π r^2 = 6.68 mm^2

r = (6.68 / 3.14)^1/2 mm = 2.13 mm      radius of wire

d = 2 * r = 4.26 mm

If friction is ignored and the ball is dropped, it experiences a gain in ____ and a decrease in ___. Question 8 options: kinetic
seropon [69]

Answer:

My answer is when the ball is going it experience kinetic energy which is the energy of a moving object while when the ball has stopped then it will have potential energy which means it's at rest so for the ball not to experience friction then there is a gain in kinetic energy and decrease in potential energy.
