Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.500 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 35.0 m/s and is batted straight back to Lonnie with a return speed of 50.0 m/s. If the bat is in contact with the ball for 0.055 s, what is the impulse experienced by the ball

Explanation:

The impulse equation is

Δp = FΔt, where Δp = final momentum - initial momentum, F is the Force exerted on an object, and Δt is the change in time. In this equation,the entire right side defines the impulse. In other words, FΔt is the impulse; thus the change in momentum an object experiences is due to its change in impulse and is directly proportional to it.

Therefore, once we find the change in momentum, that is the impulse the object experiences. Δp = final momentum - initial momentum, where

p = mv and p is momentum.

so

and

so

; therefore,

Δp = 25.0 - 17.5 = 7.5 which is the unit for momentum

what is the speed of a softball that travels 20m in 2secs

speed = 20/2 = 10 m/s

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
