Answer:

Explanation:

Caty  ,  Use   the relativity formula for length.  ( they teach this in H.S. ? )  it's from my Modern Physics in college, A 300 level class  

L = L_{0}\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

L = 3  \sqrt{1-\frac{.95^{2} }{1^{2} } }

L = 0.9367496998  meters

L = 0.94 meters approx

A student used a yardstick to model the displacement of rock at a fault during an earthquake. The student bent the yardstick wit
jonny [76]
I think the correct answer would be B. The process of elastic rebound is being shown by the student. It is a theory that is used to explain earthquakes. It focuses on how energy is being spread in times of earthquakes. As the rocks on the fault experiences shift and force, these rocks would be accumulating energy causing it to deform reaching the internal strength and eventually exceeding it. At that moment, a rapid motion would happen along the fault, which releases the energy, then the rocks would go back to its original shape or the undeformed state. This theory is the first theory that sufficiently was able to explain earthquakes.

A football player, with a mass of 69.0 kg, slides on the ground after being knocked down. At the start of the slide, the player
White raven [17]

Answer:

(a) -472.305  J

(b) 1 m

Explanation:

(a)

Change in mechanical energy equals change in kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is given by0.5mv^{2}

Initial kinetic energy is 0.5\times 69\times 3.7^{2}=472.305 J

Since he finally comes to rest, final kinetic energy is zero because the final velocity is zero

Change in kinetic energy is given by final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy hence

0-472.305  J=-472.305  J

(b)

From fundamental kinematic equation

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

Where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, a is acceleration, s is distance

Making s the subject we obtain

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2a} but a=\mu g hence

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2\mu g}=\frac {0^{2}-3.7^{2}}{-2*0.7*9.81}=0.996796272\approx 1 m

How to measure the volume of a baseball bat ( need answers ASAP )
vaieri [72.5K]

<em>Measure the amount of water it displaces.</em>

This won't be easy, because the bat floats in water.  But I think you can get around that little problem like this:

-- Get some kind of a tank or tub that's big enough to hold the whole bat under water.

-- Get a heavy weight, like a big wrench or a small rock.  

-- Fill the tub almost to the tippy top with water.

-- Slip the heavy weight into the tub, slowly.  Some water will run over the top and out of the tub.  That's OK ... it's exactly what you want.  If NO water runs over the top, pour some more in, until it runs out and then stops.  You want the tub full to the brimmy rim with the rock at the bottom of it.

-- Take the heavy weight out of the tub.

-- Now set the tub into a bigger tub or a deep pan.  The next time it overflows and some water runs out of it, you'll need to catch that water and measure it.

-- Get a short piece of heavy string.  Tie the heavy weight to somewhere near the middle of the bat.

-- Slowly slide the bat into the water, with the rock tied to it.  The bat needs to go complete underwater.

-- Some more water will run over the top and out of the tub, and INTO the lower tub.  Wait until the overflow stops and everything settles down again.

-- Take the bat (tied to the weight) out of the tub.  Slowly and carefully, so that your hand or your arm doesn't make any MORE water run over and out.

-- Lift the upper tub out of the lower tub.

-- Take the lower tub, with the overflow water in it.  Using a kitchen measuring cup, or a saucepan or a bottle, or anything else with liquid amounts marked on it, measure how much water overflowed into the lower tub.

THAT amount is the volume of the bat.

You may have to do some units conversions.  Like if you need the volume of the bat in cm³ and you used measuring vessels marked in fluid ounces.  But you can find all those conversion factors with a search on Floogle.
