In a Little League baseball game, the 145 g ball enters the strike zone with a speed of 17.0 m/s . The batter hits the ball, and

Hi there!

Impulse = Change in momentum

I = Δp = mΔv = m(vf - vi)

Where:

m = mass of object (kg)

vf = final velocity (m/s)

vi = initial velocity (m/s)

Begin by converting grams to kilograms:

1 kg = 1000g ⇒ 145g = .145kg

Now, plug in the given values. Remember to assign directions since velocity is a vector. Let the initial direction be positive and the opposite be negative.

I = (.145)(-20 - 17) = -5.365 Ns

The magnitude is the absolute value, so:

|-5.365| = 5.365 Ns

A satellite is circling the moon (radius 1700 km) close to the surface at a speed v. A projectile is launched vertically up from
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

 Rmax = 3.4 10⁶ m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the concept of energy

Initial. On the surface of the luma

    Em₀ = K + U

    Em₀ = ½ m v² - G m M / R_moon

Final. At the furthest point

    Emf = U

    Emf = - g m M / R_max

    Em₀ = Emf

    ½ m v² - G m M / R_moon = - G m M / R_max

    ½ v² + G M (-1 / R_moon + 1 / R_max) = 0           (1)

Let's use the fact that tells us that the speed of the rocket is equal to the speed of a satellite that rotates around the moon near the surface, let's use Newton's second law

        F = m a

Acceleration is centripetal

       a = v² / r

        r= R_moon

       G m M / R_moon² = m v² / R_mon

        G M / R_moon = v²

We substitute in 1

     ½ G M / R_moon + G M (1 / R_max - 1 / R_moon) = 0

    1 / R_max = 1 / R_moon (1- ½)

     R_max = R_moon 2

     Rmax = 2 1700 103

     Rmax = 3.4 10⁶ m

An ice cube with a mass of exactly 0.2843267 kg is sliding down an incline with
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

30.7^{\circ}

Explanation:

Assuming there is no friction, the only force acting on the ice cube along the incline is the component of the weight of the cube parallel to the incline, that is:

mg sin \theta

where

m is the mass of the cube

g is the acceleration of gravity

\theta is the angle of the incline

The equation of the forces along the incline therefore is

mg sin \theta = ma

where a is the acceleration.

Here we have the following data:

m=0.2843276 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2

a=5 m/s^2

Solving for \theta, we find the angle of the incline:

\theta = sin^{-1} (\frac{a}{g})=sin^{-1}(\frac{5}{9.8})=30.7^{\circ}
