the 200 g baseball has a horizontal velocity of 30 m/s when it is struck by the bat, B, weighing 900 g, moving at 47 m/s. during

Ivanshal [37]

Solution :

Given :

Mass of the baseball, m = 200 g

Velocity of the baseball, u = -30 m/s

Mass of the baseball after struck by the bat, M = 900 g

Velocity of the baseball after struck by the bat, v = 47 m/s

According to the conservation of momentum,

$Mv+mu=Mv_1+mv_2$

(900 x 47) + (200 x -30) = (900 x $v_1$ ) + (200 x $v_2$ )

36300 = (900 x $v_1$ ) + (200 x $v_2$ )

$9v_1 + 2v_2 = 363$ ..............(i)

$9v_1 = 363 - 2v_2$

$v_1=\frac{363 - 2v_2}{9}$

The mathematical expression for the conservation of kinetic energy is

$\frac{1}{2}Mv^2+\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}Mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2$

$\frac{1}{2}(900)(47)^2+\frac{1}{2}(200)(-30)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(900)v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}(200)v_2^2$ ................(ii)

$(9)(14)^2+(2)(-30)^2 = (9)v_1^2+2v_2^2$

$21681 = 9v_1^2+2v_2^2$

Substituting (i) in (ii)

$21681= 9\left( \frac{363-2v_2}{9}\right)^2+2v_2^2$

$(363-2v_2)^2+18v_2^2=195129$

$(363)^2+18v_2^2-2(363)(2v_2)+(363)^2-195129=0$

$22v_2^2-145v_2-63360=0$

Solving the equation, we get

$v_2=96 \ m/s, -30 \ m/s$

The negative velocity is neglected.

Therefore, substituting 96 m/s for $v_2$ in (i), we get

$v_1=\frac{363-(2 \times 96)}{9}$

= 19

Thus, only impulse of importance is used to find final velocity.

A radio have a wavelength of 0.3m and travels at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. What is the frequency of this wave?

Ilya [14]

The frequency of the wave is $1\cdot 10^9 Hz$

Explanation:

The frequency, the wavelength and the speed of a wave are related by the following equation:

$c=f \lambda$

where

c is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the radio wave in this problem,

$\lambda = 0.3 m$

$c=300,000,000 m/s = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Therefore, the frequency is:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{0.3}=1\cdot 10^9 Hz$

*please please help* Suppose you are going on a car trip with your family.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

1. To determine the average speed for the first day of the trip, the total distance traveled would have to be acquired and then how long it took to arrive at the final destination, only including the time that was actually traveled and not any time that was accumulated by any rest stops. Once you have this information, you have to divide the distance over time and you have the average speed (mph).

2. To determine the instantaneous speed, you would just have to look at the speedometer, which tells you at what speed the car is traveling at that exact moment.

Explanation:

I took physics 121 and got the same question. This is my answer that i used and my teacher said it was right.

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. Which two processes cause sand particles to form sandstone?

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Compaction and cementation

Explanation:

Cementation: As ions are deposited by fluids to form a compound that hardens loose sedimentary rocks.

Compaction: As the density of sedimentary rocks on edge of them are forced together through sediments.

A certain plucked string produces a fundamental frequency of 150 hz. Which frequency is not one of the harmonics produced by tha

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Some of the frequency that cannot be produced by the string includes 400Hz, 500Hz 650Hz etc...

Explanation:

Harmonics in strings are defined as the integral multiples of its fundamental frequency. This multiples are in arithmetic progression.

For example if Fo is the fundamental frequency of the string, the harmonics will be 2fo, 3fo, 4fo, 5fo... etc

If the string produces a fundamental frequency of 150Hz, some of the harmonics produced by the string will be 300Hz, 450Hz, 600Hz, 750Hz... etc

Some of the harmonics that cannot be produced include 400Hz, 500Hz 650Hz etc...
