Let us assume that the initial direction of the ball, i.e., from the pitching machine to the batter as the negative direction, and the final direction of the ball is the positive direction.

Given,

The mass of the baseball, m=0.148 kg

The initial velocity of the baseball, u=-26 m/s

The final velocity of the baseball, v=39 m/s

The momentum of the ball before the batter hits it is given by,

p_1=mu

On substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} p_1=0.148\times-26 \\ =-3.848\text{ kg}\cdot\text{m/s} \end{gathered}

The momentum of the ball after the batter hits it is given by,

p_2=mv

On substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} p_2=0.148\times39 \\ =5.772\text{ kg}\cdot\text{m/s} \end{gathered}

The change in the momentum is given by,

\Delta p=p_2-p_1

On substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} \Delta p=5.772-(-3.848) \\ =9.62\text{ kg}\cdot\text{m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus the change in the momentum of baseball is 9.62 kg·m/s

natta225 [31]

Answer:

K=24.17 x 10⁻² J s⁻¹c⁻¹m⁻¹

Explanation:

Rate of flow of heat through a material is given by the following expression

\frac{Q}{t} =\frac{KA\delta T}{d}

where Q is amount of heat flowing in time t through area A and  a medium of thickness d having two faces at temperature difference δT . K is thermal conductivity of the medium .

Here Q = 3.34 x 10⁶/6 , t = 24 x 60 x 60 = 86400 s , A = .332 X .332 = .0110224 m² ,  δT = 104.7

Put these values here

\frac{3.34\times10^6}{6\times86400}= \frac{k\times.011224\times104.7}{4.41\times10^{-2}}

K=\frac{3.34\times4.41\times10^4}{6\times86400\times.011224\times104.7}

K=24.17 x 10⁻² J s⁻¹c⁻¹m⁻¹

Part A

Newton thinks that object falls due to gravity whereas Einstein thinks gravity is not the reason behind it.

<h3>How did Einstein’s and Newton’s theories differ in terms of explaining the cause of gravity?</h3>

Newton concluded that objects fall because they are pulled by Earth's gravity. Einstein's thinks that these objects do not fall due to gravity. According to Einstein, these objects and Earth just freely move in a curved spacetime

So we can conclude that Newton thinks that object falls due to gravity whereas Einstein thinks gravity is not the reason behind it.

Ca anyone help me with writing a lab report about the reaction between the pepper and the soap in water
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Buoyancy force and surface tension are the reactions that take places between soap and pepper experiment.

Explanation:

Surface tension:

The surface tension of a liquid is the tendency of liquid surfaces to resist an external force due to the cohesive nature of its molecules.

The pepper and soap experiment helps you to understand buoyancy force and surface tension.

Reaction between the pepper and soap is as following.

  • The pepper flakes float because of buoyancy force. It makes the pepper flakes to move away to the edge of the plate.
  • This happens because the liquid dish soap changes the surface tension of water.
  • And The pepper flakes are so light, it floats on the water surface due to surface tension.
  • when we add soap, it breaks the surface tension of water, but the water resists it. So they pull away from the soap along with the pepper flakes.
  • This pushes the pepper away from your soap covered finger.

This is the reaction that take places between soap and pepper experiment.

Achilles and the tortoise are having a race. The tortoise can run 1 mile (or whatever the Hellenic equivalent of this would be)
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds

Explanation:

The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).

To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:

x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{tor}v_{tor}=1+t_{tor}\\x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{ach}v_{ach}=10t_{ach}

The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):

1+t=10t\\t=1/9 hour=0.11 hours
