A bat strikes a 0.145 kg baseball. Just before impact, the ball is traveling horizontally to the right at 50.0 m/s , and it leaves the bat traveling to the left at an angle of 30.0 above horizontal with a speed of 65.0 m/s. A. What is the horizontal component of the impulse the bat imparts to the ball? B. What is the vertical component of the impulse the bat imparts to the ball? C. If the ball and bat are in contact for 1.75 , find the horizontal component of the average force on the ball. D. If the ball and bat are in contact for 1.75 , find the vertical component of the average force on the ball.

a)    Iₓ = 15.41 N s

, b)   I_{y} = 4.75 N s

, c)  Fₓ = 26.97 N

, d)  F_{y} = 2.71 N

Explanation:

The momentum is

        I = F t = ΔP

a) the horizontal component of the momentum is

      Iₓ = Dpₓₓₓx = m vₓₓ - m v₀

      v₀ₓ = 50 m / s

Let's use trigonometry for the final velocity components

     Sin 30 = / v

     Cos 30 = vₓ / v

      v_{y} = v sin 30

      v_{y} = 65 sin 30

      v_{y} = 32.5 m / s

      vₓ = v cos 30

       vₓ = 65 cos 30

       vₓ = 56.29 m / s

The momentum is

         Iₓ = 0.145 (-50) - 0.145 56.29

         Iₓ = 15.41 N s

b) the vertical component of the impulse is

      I_{y} = m v_{y} - m v_{oy}

      I_{y} = 0.145 32.5 -0

      I_{y} = 4.75 N s

c) the contact time is t = 1.75 s, let's look for the average horizontal force

     Fₓ = Iₓ / t

     Fₓ = 15.41 / 1.75

     Fₓ = 26.97 N

d)    F_{y} = I_{y} / t

      F_{y} = 4.75 / 1.75

      F_{y} = 2.71 N

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
