The convection currents would come from the exterior core and they would travel through the mantle and eventually through the core
Let us consider body moves a distance S due to the force F.
Hence the work by the body W = FS
If the force is not along the direction of displacement,then the work by a body for travelling a distance S will be -
where
is the component of the force along the direction of displacement.


As per the question the power P is given as -




Hence alternative definition of power P = F.V
Maybe the water wasnt stable enough and probably couldnt read the water level correctly
here we will use the concept of Newton's III law
as per Newton's III law the impulse given to the ball is same as the impulse lost by the bat
So here we will say
impulse gain by the ball = impulse lost by the bat

given that


For ball the change in speed will be

now from above equation


so speed of bat will decrease by 6.72 mph
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Scientific theories summarize patterns found in nature. Although, the statement scientific theories are never proven is somewhat true. They are either disproved or they are never disproved. Hope this answers the question.
