- A 56 g base ball is travelling at 40 m/s. When it hits with the baseball bat, you exert an average force of 78 N, sending the ball back at 30 m/s. How long was the baseball in contact with the bat? Please answer in m/sarrow_forward60 kg), Scotty (ms Chekhov (mc 75 kg), and Uhura (mu = 55 kg) are floating motionless in space near the Enterprise after it has been attacked by Tholians. All three are tethered with massless ropes for safety, with L₁ = 4 m, and L₂ 2 m. They pull on their ropes to change position. At some later time, they are all again motionless, but their positions have changed as seen here. How far did Uhura move horizontally? = BEFORE = L₁ 1₂ Answer: 3.79 m L₁ + 1₂ AFTER = L₁arrow_forwardA tennis ball is flying eastward towards a wall with a speed of 33.7 m/s. After bouncing against the wall, it's flying westward with a speed of 21.9 m/s. If the mass of the ball is 0.1 kg, and the time the tennis ball is in contact with the wall is 0.032 s, what is the magnitude of the force in N the ball exerts on the wall?arrow_forward
- A 50.0 kg astronaut is standing on a 250.0 kg space capsule. He pushes off from the space capsule with a velocity of 10.0 m/s. How long does it take for him to reach a point 50.0 m away from the space capsule? (Hint: Not 5 seconds!)arrow_forwardTwo blocks with masses m1 = 1.4kg and m2 = 4.6kg are at rest on a frictionless surface with a compressed spring between them. When the blocks are let go, block 1 is observed to have a velocity of 4.4m/s to the left. What is the speed of block 2?arrow_forwardKaya, a crew member on an interplanetary space ship, is on a spacewalk. She realizes that her ship is moving away from her at 0.5 m/s. She and her spacesuit have a total mass of 95 kg. Her space suit includes a 15 kg backpack, which is included in the 95 kg total mass.a). What is the minimum velocity she will have to throw the backpack so that she can gain enough velocity to eventually catch up with the ship? b). Kaya applies an average force of 400 N to the backpack for 0.05 seconds. Will Kaya make it back to the ship? If so, determine how much time it will take for her to reach the ship. If not, determine how much more force she would need to apply to make it back.arrow_forward
