How would changing the mass of a bat affect a player’s ability to swing the bat and adjust the path of the bat to hit a moving baseball or softball?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The answer to that question is "both," though past players tend to have used heavier bats than do today's players. Baseball's "king of swat" Babe Ruth reportedly began his hitting career using a 54 ounce (1.5 kg) hickory bat, and is known to have used a 40oz bat in 1927 when he hit his 60 home runs.[1] Ty Cobb and Joe Di Maggio both played with 42oz bats and Rogers Hornsby used a 50oz piece of lumber. George Sisler, playing for the St. Louis Browns in the 1920's, made his bat heavier by hammering Victrola needles into the barrel of his bat.[2] In the 1950's Cincinnati Reds' Ted Kluszeski hammered tenpenny nails into his bat to make it heavier.

Other great hitters including Ted Williams, Rod Carew and Stan Musial used much lighter bats: 31-33oz.[1] Roger Maris used a 33oz bat to hit his 61 home runs in 1961. Many players have tried to make their bats lighter by drilling a hole in the barrel and filling it with cork. Detroit Tigers' Norm Cash admitted to using a corked bat in 1961 when he won the batting title with a .361 average (though he slumped to .243 the next year with the same corked bat).[2]

Kirkpatrick[3] reports that Roger Maris participated in a 1962 experiment in which he batted for distance with 5 different new bats whose weights varied from 33 to 47oz. He hit 5 long fly balls with each bat and the distances were measured and correlated to bat weight. The heavier bats, on average, resulted in further distance. However, Maris' preferred bat (which he used to break Babe Ruth's home run record) was the lightest of the set, even though it produced the shortest distance fly balls. Mark McGwire used a 35oz bat to hit his 70 home runs in 1998, and Barry Bonds used a 32oz bat to hit his 73 home runs in 2001. Most of today's major league players typically use 31-35oz bats.

Physicists have shown,[3,4] from a simple collision analysis, that the optimum bat weight is between 15 and 18oz. However, no professional batter uses a bat this light (in fact, you cannot make a wood bat this light). NCAA regulations[x] recently imposed a -3 rule (length in inches minus weigh in ounces cannot exceed 3) so that 34 inch bats must weigh 31oz. So far no such rule exists for Little League play, and -12 composite bats were introduced for the 2003 season. This brings us back to our original questions: which is better: heavier or lighter bats? So, what is the optimum bat weight, and what criteria influence this choice? Let's start by looking at the collision between ball and bat.

You are given a sample of metal and asked to determine its specific heat. You weight the sample and find that its weight is 28.4n.Ypu carefully add of heat heat energy to he sample and find that its temperature rises.Ehat is the samples specific heat?

Answers

Answer:

The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 28.4 N

Suppose, heat energy [tex]E=1.25\times10^{4}\ J[/tex]

Temperature = 18°C

We need to calculate the samples specific heat

Using formula of specific heat

[tex]Q=mc\Delta T[/tex]

[tex]c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}[/tex]

Where, m = mass

c = specific heat

[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = temperature

Q = heat

Put the value into the formula

[tex]c=\dfrac{1.25\times10^{4}}{\dfrac{28.4}{9.8}\times(18+273)}[/tex]

[tex]c=14.8\ J/kg. K[/tex]

Hence, The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

An object weighs 530.0 Newton. It is being pushed along a horizontal surface by a 340.0-
Newton force. Determine the mass of the object. Enter a numerical answer.

Answers

Answer:

54.08 kg

Explanation:

The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on the object and is related to the mass of the object as;

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity (g), where g = 9.8 m/s.

Hence, the weight of the object is only dependent on its mass and g, not on any other force. Now, if the weight is 530.0 N,

530 = m x 9.8

   m = 530/9.8

                = 54.08 kg

Therefore, the weight of the object is 54.08 kg.

An apple is dropped from a 260m high building. How long will it take to hit the ground in
seconds)?

Answers

Answer:

7.28 s

Explanation:

s=-260

u=0

assume a=-9.81

t=?

s=1/2at^2 + ut

-260=1/2 (-9.81) t^2 +0t

t=7.28 s

The time taken for the apple to hit the ground from the high building is 7.28s.

Given the data in the question;

Before the apple was dropped, it was initially at rest, so

Initial velocity; [tex]u = 0 m/s[/tex]Distance or height from which it was dropped from; [tex]s = 260m[/tex]

 

To find the time it will take for the apple to hit the ground

We use the Second Equation of Motion:

[tex]s = u^2 + \frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

Where s is the distance or height from which it was dropped, u is its initial velocity, t is time and a is the acceleration due to gravity.

We know that earth's gravitational field or acceleration due to gravity; [tex]g = 9.8m/s^2[/tex]

Since the apple is falling, it under gravity; [tex]a = g = 9.8m/s^2[/tex]

We substitute our values into the equation and find t

[tex]260m = (0m/s)^2 + (\frac{1}{2} \ *\ 9.8m/s^2\ *\ t^2 )\\\\260m = 4.9m/s^2 \ * \ t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{260m}{4.9m/s^2}\\\\t^2 = 53.06^2\\\\t = \sqrt{53.06s^2} \\\\t = 7.28s[/tex]

Therefore, the time taken for the apple to hit the ground from the high building is 7.28s

A 55 kg boy is throwing a 0.23 kg baseball up in the air. He decides to see how high he can throw it and uses a timer to see how long the ball stays in the air. He throws the ball as hard as he can straight up in the air and finds that it takes 5.5 seconds to come back to him. How long did it take for the ball to reach its highest point? (half the time it was in the air)

Answers

Answer:

2.75 s

Explanation:

From the question given above,

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5.5 s

Time taken (t) to reach the greatest height =...?

Thus, we can obtain the time taken (t) for the ball to reach the greatest height as follow:

T = 2t

Where:

T is the total time spent by the ball in air.

t is the time taken to reach the greatest height

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5.5 s

Time taken (t) to reach the greatest height =...?

T = 2t

5.5 = 2 × t

Divide both side by 2

t = 5.5/2

t = 2.75 s

Therefore, the time taken (t) to reach the greatest height is 2.75 s.

What is the definition of law of conservation of energy

Answers

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside. This is particularly confusing in the case of non-conservative forces, where energy is converted from mechanical energy into thermal energy, but the overall energy does remain the same. The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.

Lucy and JoJo need to make 140 cupcakes for the school dance. Lucy made 35 of the cupcakes. JoJo made 42 cupcakes What fraction of the cupcakes do Lucy and JoJo still need to make?

Answers

Answer:

9/20

Explanation:

According to this question, Lucy and JoJo need to make 140 cupcakes for the school dance. Lucy made 35 of the cupcakes while JoJo made 42 cupcakes. This means that in total, (42 + 35) cupcakes has been made by both Lucy and JoJo

That is, 77 cupcakes out of 140 has been made. This is 77/140 i.e. 11/20

Since 77/140 cupcakes has been made, Lucy and JoJo still need to make;

140 - 77 = 63 cupcakes to meet up their target for the school dance.

This means that the fraction left is 63/140

63/140 in its lowest term is 9/20

Hence, 9/20 of the cupcakes still need to be made by Lucy and JoJo.

Explanation: 140 - 35 = 105 - 42 = 63

_____ hours

Answers

Answer:

Thus, the time for the remaining 120 miles: 8.5 - 6 = 2.5 h

Explanation:

The remaining 120 miles was (1 - 5/9 = 4/9) of the total journey.

Then, total distance: 120 ÷ 4/9 = 120 × 9/4 = 270 miles

The distance for 25 mph: 270 × 5/9 = 150 miles

The time for 25 mph: 150 ÷ 25 = 6 h

The boat spent 2.5 hours on the remaining 120 miles.

What is speed?

Speed is distance travelled by the object per unit time. Due to having no direction and only having magnitude, speed is a scalar quantity With SI unit meter/second.

According to the question, The remaining 120 miles was (1 - 5/9) = 4/9of the total journey.

Then, total distance travelled by the boat: 120 ÷ 4/9 = 120 × 9/4 = 270 miles.

The distance travelled by the boat at 25 mph: 270 × 5/9 = 150 miles.

The time taken to travel this distance: 150 ÷ 25 = 6 hours.

Hence, the time for the remaining 120 miles is: 8.5 - 6 = 2.5 hours.
