A batter hits a fastball with a mass of 0.145 kg that was traveling at 40.0 m/s; the force exerted by the bat on the ball is 29

N. What is the time of contact with the ball in order to reverse its motion at its original speed?

The force applies an acceleration in the reverse direction of

29 N = (0.145 kg) <em>a</em>   →   <em>a</em> = 200 m/s²

and in order to hit the ball back with speed 40.0 m/s, this acceleration is applied over time <em>t </em>such that

200 m/s² = (40.0 m/s - (-40.0 m/s)) / <em>t</em>   →   <em>t</em> = (80.0 m/s) / (200 m/s²) = 0.4 s

B. The role of the moon is greater than that of the sun in the occurrence of tides. ???​
ahrayia [7]

Our sun is 27 million times larger than our moon. Based on its mass, the sun's gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth. If tidal forces were based solely on comparative masses, the sun should have a tide-generating force that is 27 million times greater than that of the moon. However, the sun is 390 times further from the Earth than is the moon. Thus, its tide-generating force is reduced by 3903, or about 59 million times less than the moon. Because of these conditions, the sun’s tide-generating force is about half that of the moon.

A basketball weighing 0.63 kg is dropped from a height of 6.0 meters onto a court. Use the conservation of energy equation to de
frutty [35]

Answer:

The velocity of the ball at a height of 2.0 meters above the court is approximately 8.85 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the ball are;

The mass of the ball, m = 0.63 kg

The height from which the ball is dropped, h₁ = 6.0 meters

The height at which the velocity of the ball is sought, h₂ = 2 meters

The initial potential energy of the ball, P.E. = m·g·h₁ = 0.63 × 9.8 × 6.0  = 37.044

The initial potential energy of the ball, P.E.₁ = 37.044 J

The potential energy of the ball, when the ball is at 2 meters above the court, P.E.₂ = m·g·h₂ = 0.63 × 9.8 × 2.0 = 12.348

The potential energy of the ball, when the ball is at 2 meters above the court, P.E.₂ = 12.348 J

From M.E> = P.E. + K.E.

Where;

M.E = The total mechanical energy of the ball = Constant

P.E. = The potential energy of the ball

K.E. = The kinetic energy of the ball

By the conservation of energy principle, we have;

The potential energy lost by the ball = The kinetic energy gained by the ball

The potential energy lost by the ball = P.E.₁ - P.E.₂ = 37.044 - 12.348 = 24.696

The potential energy lost by the ball = 24.696 J

The kinetic energy gained by the ball = 1/2·m·v² = 1/2×0.63×v²

Where;

v = The velocity of the ball

∴ The potential energy lost by the ball at 2.0 meters above the court = 24.696 J = The kinetic energy gained by the ball at 2.0 meters above the court = 1/2×0.63×v²

24.696 J = 1/2×0.63 kg ×v²

v² = 24.696 J / (1/2×0.63 kg) = 78.4 m²/s²

∴ v = √(78.4 m²/s²) = 8.85437744847 m/s

The velocity of the ball at a height of 2.0 meters above the court, v ≈ 8.85 m/s.
