Given:

The mass of the ball is

m=1.23\text{ kg}

The speed of the ball is

\begin{gathered} v=65.8\text{ mi/h} \\  \end{gathered}

Required: calculate the kinetic energy of the baseball

Explanation: to calculate the kinetic energy of a body we will use the formula as

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

first, we convert velocity from mi/h into m/s.

we know that

1\text{ mi=1609.34 m}

and

1\text{ h=3600 sec}

then the velocity is

\begin{gathered} v=\frac{65.8\times1602.34\text{ m}}{3600\text{ s}} \\ v=29.29\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

now plugging all the values in the above formula, we get

\begin{gathered} K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\ K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times1.23\text{ kg}\times(29.29\text{ m/s})^2 \\ K.E=527.61\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Thus, the kinetic energy of the baseball is

527.61\text{ J}

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Total 3 holes are available for conduction of current at 300K.

Explanation:

In order to develop a semiconductor, two type of impurities can be added as given below:

  1. N-type Impurities: Pentavalent impurities e.g. Phosphorous, Arsenic are added to have an additional electron in the structure. Thus a pentavalent impurity creates 1 additional electron.
  2. P-type Impurities: Trivalent impurities e.g. Boron, Aluminium are added to have a positive "hole" in the structure. Thus a trivalent impurity creates 1 hole.

Now for estimation of extra electrons in the impured structure is as

N_{electrons-free}=n_{pentavalent \, atoms}\\N_{electrons-free}=4\\

Now for estimation of "holes"  in the impured structure is as

N_{holes}=n_{trivalent \, atoms}\\N_{holes}=7\\

Now when the free electrons and "holes" are available in the structure ,the "holes" will be filled by the free electrons therefore

N_{holes-net}=N_{holes}-N_{electrons-free}\\N_{holes-net}=7-4\\N_{holes-net}=3

So total 3 "holes" are available for conduction of current at 300K.

A 0.0427 kg racquet-ball is moving
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Mass of the box = 0.9433 kg

Explanation:

Mass of racket-ball (m_1) = 0.00427 kg

Velocity of racket-ball before collision (v_{1i}) = 22.3 m/s

Velocity of racket-ball after collision with box (v_{1f}) = -11.5 m/s

[Since ball is bouncing back, so velocity is taken negative.]

Velocity of the box before collision v_{2i} = 0 m/s

<em>[Since the box is stationary, so velocity is taken zero]</em>

Velocity of box moving forward after collision v_{2f}= 1.53 m/s

To find the mas of the box m_2.

By law of conservation of momentum we have:

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

This can be written as:

p_i=p_f

m_1v_{1i}+m_2v_{2i}=m_1v_{1f}+m_2v_{2f}

We can plugin the given value to find m_2

(0.0427\times 22.3)+(m_2\times 0)=(0.0427\times (-11.5))(m_2\times 1.53)

0.9522+0=-0.4911+1.53m_2

Adding both sides by 0.4911

0.9522+0.4911=-0.4911+0.4911+1.53m_2

1.4433=1.53m_2

Dividing both sides by 1.53.

\frac{1.4433}{1.53}=\frac{1.53m_2}{1.53}

0.9433=m_2

∴ m_2=0.9433 kg

Mass of the box = 0.9433 kg (Answer)

The largest salami in the world, made in Norway, was more than 20 m long. If a hungry mouse ran around the salami’s circumferenc
Musya8 [376]

Answer: 0.09 m

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration in terms of tangential speed is:

a_c=\frac{v^2_t}{r}

where r is the radius.

It is given that,

centripetal acceleration of the mouse, a_c=0.29 m/s^2

tangential speed , v_t=0.17m/s

Radius of salami is:

r =\frac{(0.17m/s)^2}{0.29 m/s^2}=0.09m

Thus, the radius of the salami is 0.09 m.
