Some children are practicing catching baseballs. The coach tosses the ball into the air and hits the ball with his bat. The ball

travels nearly horizontally, directly at the short stop who manages to catch the line drive. Did the coach, via the bat, do any work on the ball as it was hit

Answer:

Work is defined as the amount of movement done by a force, and it can be calculated as:

W = f*d

where W is the work, f is the force and d is the distance.

So when the coach hits the ball, he is appliying some force in the ball (via the bat) that impulses the ball briefly (we can considerate that the force is only applied in a differential of time dt)

But we have a force applied and a displacement of the ball, so yes, the bat does work on the ball.

Answer:

Yes he did

Explanation:

Horizontally speaking, the ball didn't have any speed prior to the bat hit by the coach. After the hit, the ball has horizontal speed, or kinetic energy. This energy must come from the work performed by the coach during the hit. This work is the product of the hit force and and distance it travels during the brief time the ball makes contact with the bat.

A 1000-kg car is driving toward the north along a straight horizontal road at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The driver applies the brakes
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1000 kg

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

final velocity, v = 0 m/s

distance, s = 120 m

Let a be the acceleration of motion

use third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 as

0 = 20 x 20 + 2 x a x 120

a = - 1.67 m/s²

Let F be the force

Force, F  mass x acceleration

F = - 1000 x 1.67

F = - 1666.67 N

The direction of force is towards south and the magnitude of force is 1666.67 N.

A 4.00-kg mass is attached to a very light ideal spring hanging vertically and hangs at rest in the equilibrium position. The sp
Ahat [919]

Answer:

|v| = 8.7 cm/s

Explanation:

given:

mass m = 4 kg

spring constant k = 1 N/cm = 100 N/m

at time t = 0:

amplitude A = 0.02m

unknown: velocity v at position y = 0.01 m

y = A cos(\omega t + \phi)\\v = -\omega A sin(\omega t + \phi)\\ \omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

1. Finding Ф from the initial conditions:

-0.02 = 0.02cos(0 + \phi) => \phi = \pi

2. Finding time t at position y = 1 cm:

0.01 =0.02cos(\omega t + \pi)\\ \frac{1}{2}=cos(\omega t + \pi)\\t=(acos(\frac{1}{2})-\pi)\frac{1}{\omega}

3. Find velocity v at time t from equation 2:

v =-0.02\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}sin(acos(\frac{1}{2}))

luggage handler pulls a 20.0 kg suitcase up a ramp inclined at 34.0 ∘ above the horizontal by a force F⃗ of magnitude 165 N that
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

a)  W = 643.5 J, b) W = -427.4 J  

Explanation:

a) Work is defined by

       W = F. x = F x cos θ

in this case they ask us for the work done by the external force F = 165 N parallel to the ramp, therefore the angle between this force and the displacement is zero

       W = F x

let's calculate

       W = 165  3.9

        W = 643.5 J

b) the work of the gravitational force, which is the weight of the body, in ramp problems the coordinate system is one axis parallel to the plane and the other perpendicular, let's use trigonometry to decompose the weight in these two axes

       sin θ = Wₓ / W

       cos θ = Wy / W

        Wₓ = W sinθ = mg sin θ

        Wy = W cos θ

the work carried out by each of these components is even Wₓ, it has to be antiparallel to the displacement, so the angle is zero

      W = Wₓ x cos 180

      W = - mg sin 34  x

     

let's calculate

       W = -20 9.8 sin 34 3.9

        W = -427.4 J

The work done by the component perpendicular to the plane is ero because the angle between the displacement and the weight component is 90º, so the cosine is zero.

A passenger bus is travelling 28.0 m/s to the right when the driver applies the brakes. The bus stops in 5.00 s. What is the acc
MAVERICK [17]
Change in velocity = d(v)
d(v) = v2 - v1 where v1 = initial speed, v2 = final speed
v1 = 28.0 m/s to the right
v2 = 0.00 m/s
d(v) = (0 - 28)m/s = -28 m/s to the right

Change in time = d(t)
d(t) = t2 - t1 where t1 = initial elapsed time, t2 = final elapsed time
t1 = 0.00 s
t2 = 5.00 s
d(t) = (5.00 - 0.00)s = 5.00s

Average acceleration = d(v) / d(t)
(-28.0 m/s) / (5.00 s)
(-28.0 m)/s * 1 / (5.00 s) = -5.60 m/s² to the right
