AI Thread Summary
The momentum of a 0.150kg baseball thrown at a velocity of 35m/s is calculated using the formula p = mv, resulting in a momentum of 5.25 kg m/s. The discussion emphasizes the importance of collaboration, with multiple participants suggesting they should receive credit for the calculation. There is a light-hearted request for Mr. Carey to adopt one of the contributors. Overall, the conversation centers around the calculation of momentum and the acknowledgment of teamwork in solving the problem. The topic effectively illustrates the application of physics principles in a collaborative learning environment.

What is the momentum of a 0.150kg baseball thrown with a velocity of 35m/s toward home plate?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Momentum, p, is defined by:

p = mv

Where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity.

Reply by Nick B. Who Should Get 10 Points Points for Doing This

The answer is, 5.25 kg m/s...if you would like to know how I got this answer, ask Nick or Monica or Emily.

PS all three of us should get credit.

PSS Mr. Carey, please adopt Monica
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
