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

it leaves his bat with a speed of 20.0 m/s in exactly the opposite direction. Part A What is the magnitude of the impulse delivered by the bat to the ball

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 1500-kg car accelerates from rest to 25 m/s in 7.0 s. what is the average power delivered by the engine? (1 hp = 746 w)
AVprozaik [17]
The solution for this is:
Work done = force * distance = m*a*d and power = energy/time 
The vo=0 and vf = 25 m/s and t=7 sec. This gives... 
3.6 m/s^2 as acceleration and d=87.5 meters and thus F=ma= 5400 N. 
Energy = 5400*87.5 = 4.7E5 Joules (2 sig. figs) and Power = 67,500 Watts or 90 HP (2 sig. figs again).

What type of acceleration does an object moving with constant speed in a circular path experience?Select one:A) constant acceler
olga_2 [115]

ANSWER:

D) centripetal acceleration.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

When a body performs a uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector changes at every instant. This variation is experienced by the linear vector, due to a force called centripetal, directed towards the center of the circumference that gives rise to the centripetal acceleration.

Therefore, the answer is centripetal acceleration.

A convex security mirror has a radius of curvature of 12.0 cm. What is the magnification of a pare 3.0 m from the mirror?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

magnification will be -0.025

Explanation:

We have given the radius of curvature = 12 cm

And object distance = 3 m

So focal length f=\frac{R}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6cm

Now for mirror we know that \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}

So \frac{1}{0.06}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{v}

16.66-0.333=\frac{1}{v}

v = 0.750 m

Now magnification of the mirror is m=\frac{-v}{u}=\frac{-0.750}{3}=-0.025

A wave traveling in water has a frequency of 250 Hz and a wavelength of 6.0m. What is the speed of the wave?
vladimir2022 [97]
Since you are looking for the speed, you need to rearrange the formula which is f = speed / wavelength. That should give you speed = f (wavelength.) All you need to do next is to substitute the value to the following equation.  speed = 250 Hz (6.0m) that should leave you with 1500 m/s which is very fast.
