Answer:
Probability of tunneling is
Solution:
As per the question:
Velocity of the tennis ball, v = 120 mph = 54 m/s
Mass of the tennis ball, m = 100 g = 0.1 kg
Thickness of the tennis ball, t = 2.0 mm =
Max velocity of the tennis ball, = 89 m/s
Now,
The maximum kinetic energy of the tennis ball is given by:
Kinetic energy of the tennis ball, KE' =
Now, the distance the ball can penetrate to is given by:
Thus
Now,
We can calculate the tunneling probability as:
Taking log on both the sides:
Acceleration = (Vf - Vi)/t
Since Vf= 60m/s
Vi= 15m/s
T= 15s
=> a= (60m/s - 15m/s)/15s
= 3
So the acceleration is 3m/s^2
P=W/t
P=Power
W=Work
t=Time
Convert 16 minutes in seconds:
16 mins = 960 secs
P=6720/960=7.23 W [Watt]
The answer will be
(1) correct
(2) correct
(3) the force of the soccer ball on the net
(4) Will not change
Hope this help
