A pitcher releases a ball with an initial horizontal velocity of 96 mph, and the batter swings the bat with a horizontal velocity of 23 mph at the impact location. If the bat continues through the contact with a velocity of 22.5 mph and the coefficient of restitution between the bat and ball is 0.87, what is the horizontal velocity of the ball after it is hit? Provide your answer in mph
A coordinate system (in meters) is constructed on the surface of a pool table, and three objects are placed on the table as follows: a m1 = 1.4-kg object at the origin of the coordinate system, a m2 = 2.6-kg object at
(0, 2.0),
and a m3 = 3.8-kg object at
(4.0, 0).
Find the resultant gravitational force exerted by the other two objects on the object at the origin.
