A pitcher throws a softball toward home plate. When the ball hits the catcher’s mitt, its horizontal velocity is 32 meters/sec

ond. The softball’s velocity goes to 0 meters/second in 0. 8 seconds when caught. If the softball has a mass of 0. 2 kilograms, what’s the force of the impact? Use F = ma, where. The force of the impact is newtons.

The force of impact of the softball at the given conditions is 8 N.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Horizontal velocity of the ball, v = 32 m/s</em>
  • <em>Change in time of motion of the ball, Δt = 0.8 s</em>
  • <em>Mass of the ball, m = 0.2 kg</em>

The force of impact of the softball is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

F = ma\\\\F = m \times \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\\\F = 0.2 \times \frac{32 - 0}{0.8 - 0} \\\\F = \frac{0.2 \times 32}{0.8} \\\\F = 8 \ N

Thus, the force of impact of the softball at the given conditions is 8 N.

State the basic law of charges​
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Things that have the same charge push each other away (they repel each other). This is called the Law of Charges. … Things that have more electrons than protons are negatively charged, while things with fewer electrons than protons are positively charged. Things with the same charge repel each other.

From conservation of momentum, the ram force can be calculated similarly to rocket thrust:
 F = d(mv)/dt = vdm/dt.
 <span>In other words, the force needed to decelerate the wind equals the force that would be needed to produce it. 
</span><span> v = 120/3.6 = 33.33 m/s 
</span><span> dm/dt = v*area*density
</span> dm/dt = (33.33)*((45)*(75))*(1.3) 
 dm/dt = <span> 146235.375 </span><span>kg/s 
</span><span> F = v^2*area*density
</span> F = (33.33)^2*((45)*(75))*(1.3) = <span> <span>4874025 </span></span><span>N 
</span> This differs by a factor of 2 from Bernoulli's equation, which relates velocity and pressure difference in reference not to a head-on collision of the fluid with a surface but to a fluid moving tangentially to the surface. Also, a typical mass-based drag equation, like Bernoulli's equation, has a coefficient of 1/2; however, it refers to a body moving through a fluid, where the fluid encountered by the body is not stopped relative to the body (i.e., brought up to its speed) like is the case in this problem.

Describe how different types of motion are represented by distance-time graphs and velocity-time graphs.
eduard

Answer:

non-accelerated movement

velocity versus time  a horizontal straight line.

distance versus time  gives a horizontal straight line.

accelerated motion

graph of velocity versus time s an inclined line and the slope

graph of distance versus time is a parabola of the form

Explanation:

In kinematics there are two types of steely and non-accelerated movements

In a  the velocity of the body is constant therefore a speed hook against time gives a horizontal straight line.

A graph of distance versus time is a straight line whose slope is the velocity of the body

          x = v t

In an accelerated motion the velocity changes linearly with time, so a graph of velocity versus time is an inclined line and the slope is the value of the acceleration of the body

         v = v₀ + a t

A graph of distance versus time is a parabola of the form

         x =v₀ t + ½ a t²
