(a) The acceleration of the salt shaker is 1.18 m/s².

(b) The distance traveled by the baseball player before coming to rest is 204.1 m.

<h3>Acceleration of the salt shaker</h3>

The acceleration of the salt shaker at the given coefficient of kinetic friction is determined as follows;

a = μg

a = 0.12 x 9.8

a = 1.18 m/s²

Acceleration of the baseball player is calculated as follows;

a = μg

a = 0.4 x 9.8

a = 3.92 m/s²

<h3>Distance traveled by the baseball player</h3>

The distance traveled by the baseball player before coming to rest is calculated as follows;

v² = u² - 2as

0 = 40² - 2(3.92)s

0 = 1600 - 7.84s

7.84s = 1600

s = 204.1 m

The complete question is below:

A baseball player slides into third base with an initial speed of 40 m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is 0.40, how far does the player slide before coming to rest?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of mechanical energy

kinetic energy of alpha particle is converted into electric potential energy.

1/2 mv² = k q₁q₂/d , d is closest distance

d = 2kq₁q₂ / mv²

= 2 x 9 x 10⁹ x 79e x 2e / 4mv²

= 1422 x2x (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)² x 10⁹ /4x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x (1.5 x 10⁷)²

= 3640.32 x 10⁻²⁹ /2x 3.7575 x 10⁻¹³

= 484.4 x 10⁻¹⁶

=48.4  x 10⁻¹⁵ m

How do sea surface temperatures affect evaporation rate?
kotegsom [21]
<span>Answer: The temperature doesn't affect the evaporation rate, but affects on how much of water a parcel of air can contain when saturated which is known by the absolute humidity. Hurricanes are usually happening when the temperature of the sea water west of the Cape Verde islands is over 27 degrees Celsius. If ahead of the path of a hurricane, the sea water temperature drops then it will be less moisture in the air and perhaps the hurricane will fade out. But it is not as simple. How strong a tropical storm is is relative to the difference of temperture between ground level and the top of the troposphere. The greater the difference, the faster the air will rise and the deeper the pressure will be, forcing surrounding air to rush in, thus forming a hurricane force wind. Then there is the fact that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is about half that of dry air. It means that rising moist air cools down slower and therefore rises higher. Hence water is the true fuel of bad weather. But it can't be isolated from the fact that the difference of temperature must be great too. What we often forget is that the tropopause (the border to the stratosphere) is much higher over the equator and therefore, much colder than e.g. the poles.</span>
