v = vd = fd = ?

vs = fs =

Solve for the Unknown  Use fd = fs[(v-vd)/(v-vs)] with vd = 0 m/s

Evaluate the Answer

Are the units correct?

Abaseball has a mass of 0.145 kg and approaches a bat at 40.0 m/s. after it is hit, the ball leaves the bat at 50.0 m/s directly back. find the impulse of the bat on the ball. 7.25 kg*m/s 13.1 kg*m/s 5.80 kg*m/s 1.45 kg*m/s

Moon effect. some people believe that the moon controls their activities. if the moon moves from being directly on the opposite side of earth from you to being directly overhead, by what percentage does (a) the moon's gravitational pull on you increase and (b) your weight (as measured on a scale) decrease? assume that the earth–moon (center-to-center) distance is 3.82 × 10^8 m, earth's radius is 6.37 × 10^6 m, moon's mass is 7.36 × 10^22 kg, and earth's mass is 5.98 × 10^24 kg.
