Answer:

When the bat hits the ball, it exerts some force on the ball. Just think about a home run hitter hitting a stationary ball. How far do you think it will go? Will it go more than 400 ft.? Probably not. While the kinetic energy transferred from the bat to the ball accounts for some energy of the ball, it does not account for all. Where is the mysterious energy coming from?

The answer is conservation of momentum. I just said momentum is conserved but how do I know that? I know that because of Newton's 2nd law: F=ma (Force equals mass times acceleration)

Conservation of momentum means that the harder you throw you, the harder the ball will bounce back at you. That is the reason it is easier to hit a home run on a fast ball than a curveball.

Conservation of momentum also means that the bat can transfer some of its momentum to the ball. This is why it is better to use a heavier bat if you swing just as fast. The momentum is the product of the mass and velocity, so to make it easier to understand;

a heavier bat swung at the same speed as a lighter bat will have more momentum.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]
This is a good time to review Newton's 3rd law of motion:
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Gravitational force always acts in pairs.
Whatever force the Earth attracts something with,
the thing attracts the Earth with exactly the same force.

If Earth attracts a person with a gravitational force of <span><span>7.0 × 10² </span>newtons,
the person attracts Earth with a gravitational force of 7.0 × 10² newtons.

A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave functiony(x, t) = 0.350 sin (1.25x + 99.6t)where x and y are in meters an
ella [17]

The time interval that is between the first two instants when the element has a position of 0.175 is 0.0683.

<h3>How to solve for the time interval</h3>

We have y = 0.175

y(x, t) = 0.350 sin (1.25x + 99.6t) = 0.175

sin (1.25x + 99.6t) = 0.175

sin (1.25x + 99.6t) = 0.5

99.62 = pi/6

t1 = 5.257 x 10⁻³

99.6t = pi/6 + 2pi

= 0.0683

The time interval that is between the first two instants when the element has a position of 0.175 is 0.0683.

b. we have k = 1.25, w = 99.6t

v = w/k

99.6/1.25 = 79.68

s = vt

= 79.68 * 0.0683

= 5.02

A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave function y(x, t) = 0.350 sin (1.25x + 99.6t) where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Consider the element of the string at x=0. (a) What is the time interval between the first two instants when this element has a position of y= 0.175 m? (b) What distance does the wave travel during the time interval found in part (a)?

When jumping straight down, you can be seriously injured if you land stiff-legged. One way to avoid injury is to bend your knees
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

a)  F = 1.26 10⁵ N,  b)  F = 2.255 10³ N, c)   F_ {soil} = 3078 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the relationship between momentum and moment

          I = Δp

          F t = p_f -p₀

a) with stiff legs, final speed is zero, initial velocity is down

         Ft = 0-p₀

         F =  m v / t

let's calculate

         F = 84.0 6.82 / 4.56 10⁻³

         F = 1.26 10⁵ N

         

b) bending the legs

         

let's calculate

         F = 84.0 6.82 / 0.254

         F = 2.255 10³ N

     

c) It is requested to calculate the force of the ground on the man

            ∑ F = F_soil -W

           F_soil = F + W

           F_ {soil} = 2.255 103 + 84 9.8

           F_ {soil} = 3078 N
