<span>IDK the answer but I think it was "Ptolemy" whose geocentric model of the solar system was accepted for 1,400 years, and was embraced by the the Church until Galileo called it into question.</span>
Explanation:
Mass of baseball, m = 0.148 kg
Initial speed of the ball, u = 14.5 m/s
Final speed of the ball, v = 11.5 m/s
After crashing through the pane of a second-floor window, the ball shatters the glass as it passes through, and leaves the window at 11.5 m/s with no change of direction. So, the direction of the impulse that the glass imparts to the baseball is in opposite direction to the direction of the balls path.
The change in momentum of the ball is called impulse. It is given by :

Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
a) 4.31 m/s²
b) 215.5 m
Explanation:
a) According to Newton's first law of motion
The net force applied to particular mass produced acceleration, a, according to
F = ma
F = 140 N
m = 32.5 kg
a = ?
140 = 32.5 × a
a = 140/32.5 = 4.31 m/s²
b) Using the equations of motion, we can obtain the distance travelled by the object in t = 10 s
u = initial velocity of the probe = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)
a = 4.31 m/s²
t = 10 s
s = distance travelled = ?
s = ut + at²/2
s = 0 + (4.31×10²)/2 = 215.5 m
