A2.0-kg softball is pitched to you at 20 m/s. you hit the ball back along the same path, and at the same speed. if the bat was in contact with the ball for 0.10 s, what is the magnitude of the average force the bat exerted?

Answer from: bankskry

800 N

Explanation:

Force is change of momentum (p) over change in time: F = ma = dp/dt

change in time dt= 0.10 s

mass = 2 kg

initial velocity v0=20 m/s

final velocity vf= -20 m/s

change in momentum dp= m(vf-v0)

dp=2(-20-20)= -80 N/s

F=dp/dt=-80/.10=-800 N

Since they only want the magnitude, you can drop the negative sign so the answer is just 800 N.

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{a-2}^{z-4}+_2^4\alpha$

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

$_a^z\textrm{x}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}$

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases $\gamma -radiations$ . this process does not change the mass number.

$_a^z\textrm{x}^*\rightarrow _a^z\textrm{x}+_0^0\gamma$

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as $\beta ^+$ -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}+_{+1}^0e$

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.

Answer from: Quest

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

$p(t)=0.3t^2+6t+80$

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

$p(0)=0+0+80=80$

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

$p(t)=2\times 80=160$

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

$160=0.3t^2+6t+80\\\\160-80=0.3t^2+6t\\\\80=0.3t^2+6t\\\\0.3t^2+6t-80=0\\\\\text{using quadratic formula ,we get }\\\\t_{1,\: 2}=\frac{-60\pm \sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \: 3\cdot \: 800}}{2\cdot \: 3}\\\\t=-29.14\ and\ t=9.149$

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
