Answer:

p = 6.25 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of the baseball, v = 44.7 m/s

Weight of the baseball, W = 1.4 N

Firstly we need to find the mass of the baseball. It can be calculated as :

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{1.4\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}$

m = 0.14 kg

The momentum of an object is equal to the product of mass and velocity. It is given by :

$p=m\times v$

$p=0.14\ kg\times 44.7\ m/s$

p = 6.25 kg-m/s

So, the momentum it have when it hits the catcher is 6.25 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

1.4 N is a weight so calculating it's mass
1.4/9.8 = 0.1428 kg
momentum will be 0.1428*44.7 = 6.38 kgm/s

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

35°C

Explanation:

q = mCΔT

2130 J = (0.200 kg) (710 J/kg/°C) (T − 20.0°C)

T = 35°C

A person is nearsighted with a far point of 75.0 cm. a. What focal length contact lens is needed to give him normal vision

BigorU [14]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

$f= -75 \ cm = - 0.75 \ m$

b

$P = -1.33 \ diopters$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The image distance is $d_i = -75 cm$

The value of the image is negative because it is on the same side with the corrective glasses

The object distance is $d_o = \infty$

The reason object distance is because the object father than it being picture by the eye

General focal length is mathematically represented as

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_i} - \frac{1}{d_o}$

substituting values

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-75} - \frac{1}{\infty}$

=> $f= -75 \ cm = - 0.75 \ m$

Generally the power of the corrective lens is mathematically represented as

$P = \frac{1}{f}$

substituting values

$P = \frac{1}{-0.75}$

$P = -1.33 \ diopters$

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Horizontal component: $F_x = 58\ N$

Vertical component: $F_y = 33.5\ N$

Explanation:

To find the horizontal and vertical components of the force, we just need to multiply the magnitude of the force by the cosine and sine of the angle with the horizontal, respectively.

Therefore, for the horizontal component, we have:

$F_x = F * cos(angle)$

$F_x = 67 * cos(30)$

$F_x = 58\ N$

For the vertical component, we have:

$F_y = F * sin(angle)$

$F_y = 67 * sin(30)$

$F_y = 33.5\ N$

So the horizontal component of the tension force is 58 N and the vertical component is 33.5 N.

A hockey stick strikes a hockey puck of mass 0.17 kg. If the force exterted on the hockey puck is 35.0 N and there is a force of

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$a=190\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Mass of a hockey puck, m = 0.17 kg

Force exerted by the hockey puck, F' = 35 N

The force of friction, f = 2.7 N

We need to find the acceleration of the hockey puck.

Net force, F=F'-f

F=35-2.7

F=32.3 N

Now, using second law of motion,

F = ma

a is the acceleration of the hockey puck

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{32.3}{0.17}\\\\a=190\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the hockey puck is $190\ m/s^2$ .
