AI Thread Summary
To determine how long it takes for a 0.15 kg baseball moving at +26 m/s to stop under a constant force of 390 N, the momentum of the baseball is calculated as 3.9 kgm/s. The relevant equations for time and distance calculations in physics are discussed, but the conversation shifts to the appropriateness of posting homework questions in dedicated forums. The original poster is reminded that similar questions have already been asked in the homework section. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using the correct equations for solving physics problems.

A 0.15 kg baseball moving at +26 m/s is slowed to a stop by a catcher who exerts a constant force of 390 N. How long does it take this force to stop the ball? How far does the ball travel before stopping?

P=mV = 0.15Kg x 26M/s = 3.9Kgm/s. Then what equation?

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
