The average force exerted by the ball on the glove is 480 N.

<h3>What is the force exerted by the ball on the glove?</h3>

The average force exerted on the glove by the ball is equal in magnitude to the force on the ball.

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = 145 g = 0.145 kg

Acceleration of the baseball, a = (v² - u²)/2s

where:

v is final velocity = 0

u is initial velocity = 39 m/s

s is distance = -23 cm = 0.23 m

a = (0 - 39²)/2(-0.23)

a = 3306.52 m/s²

Force = 0.145 * 3306.52

Force = 479.4 N

Average force = 480 N

In conclusion, force is derived from the product of mass and acceleration.

Of all the planets in our solar system, Jupiter has the greatest gravitational strength. If a 1.5 kg pair of running shoes would

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

gₓ = 23.1 m/s²

Explanation:

The weight of an object is on the surface of earth is given by the following formula:

$W = mg$

where,

W = Weight of the object on surface of earth

m = mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = strength of gravity on the surface of earth

Similarly, the weight of the object on Jupiter will be given as:

$W_{x} = mg_{x}$

where,

Wₓ = Weight of the object on surface of Jupiter = 34.665 N

m = mass of object = 1.5 kg

gₓ = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter = strength of gravity on the surface of Jupiter = ?

Therefore,

$34.65 N = (1.5 kg)g_{x}$

$g_{x} = \frac{34.65 N}{1.5 kg}$

Which best describes how the current scientific model of the atom was developed?

Lelu [443]

Answer:

A. The model was the result of hundreds of years of experiments.

Explanation:

Since it is not possible to visualize an atom in isolation, scientists have spent hundreds of years experimenting and creating atomic models, that is, images that serve to explain the constitution, properties and behavior of atoms.

The earliest who imagined the existence of the atoms were the Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus in about 450 BCE. According to them, everything would be formed by tiny indivisible particles. Hence the origin of the name "atom", which comes from the Greek a (no) and tome (parts).

But in the nineteenth century, some scientists began to conduct experimental tests increasingly accurate thanks to technological advances. Not only was it discovered that everything was actually made up of tiny particles, but it was also possible to understand more and more about the atomic structure.

Scientists used the information discovered by other scholars to develop the atomic model. In this way, the discoveries of one scientist were replaced by those of others. The concepts that were correct remained, but those that proved to be non-real were now abandoned. Thus, new atomic models were created. This series of discoveries of the atomic structure until arriving at the accepted models today was known like the evolution of the atomic model.

Two cars, one of mass 1400 kg, and the

Vikki [24]

Suppose that, in the x-y plane, the first car is moving to the right so that its velocity is given by the vector

v₁ = (14 m/s) i

and the second car is moving upward so that its velocity vector is

v₂ = (20 m/s) j

Then the total momentum of two cars before their collision is

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (1400 kg) (14 m/s) i + (2300 kg) (20 m/s) j

= (19,600 i + 46,000 j) kg•m/s

Their momentum after the collision is

(1400 kg + 2300 kg) v = (3700 kg) v

where v is the velocity vector of the wreckage.

By conservation of momentum,

(19,600 i + 46,000 j) kg•m/s = (3700 kg) v

Let a and b be the horizontal and vertical components of v, respectively. Then

19,600 kg•m/s = (3700 kg) a ⇒ a ≈ 5.2973 m/s ≈ 5.3 m/s

46,000 kg•m/s = (3700 kg) b ⇒ b ≈ 12.4324 m/s ≈ 12 m/s

so that the final speed of the wreckage is

||v|| = √(a² + b²) ≈ 13.5139 m/s ≈ 14 m/s
