A baseball of mass 1.23 kg is thrown at a speed of 65.8 mi/h. What is its kinetic energy?

Physics

frosja888 [35]1 year ago

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}

Answer:

the correct one is D,  

Ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray

Explanation:

Electromagnetism radiation are waves of energy that is expressed by the Planck relationship

          E = h f

where h is the plank constant and f the frequency of the radiation.

Also the speed of light is

          c = λ f

         

we substitute

          E = h c /λ

therefore to damage the cells of the body radiation of appreciable energy is needed

microwave radiation has an energy of 10⁻⁵ eV

infrared radiation                E = 10⁻² eV

visible radiation                   E = 1 to 3 eV

radiation Uv                         E = 3 to 6 eV

X-ray                                    E = 10 eV

 

gamma rays                         E = 10 5 eV

therefore we see that the high energy radiation is gamma rays, x-rays and ultraviolet light.

When checking the answers, the correct one is D

How can a magnetic field be produced, using a wire, a battery, and and a nail?
Aleks [24]
It is fairly easy to build an electromagnet. All you need to do is wrap some insulated copper wire around an iron core. If you attach a battery to the wire, an electric current will begin to flow and the iron core will become magnetized. When the battery is disconnected, the iron core will lose its magnetism. Follow these steps.
Step 1 - Gather the Materials
One iron nail fifteen centimeters (6 in) long
Three meters (10 ft) of 22 gauge insulated, stranded copper wire
One or more D-cell batteries
Step 2 - Remove some Insulation
Step 3 - Wrap the Wire Around the Nail
Step 4 - Connect the Battery

A 100kg crate slides along a floor with a starting velocity of 21ms If the force due to friction is 8N how long will it take for
GaryK [48]

A 100kg crate slides along a floor with a starting velocity of 21 m/s. If the force due to friction is 8N, then, it will take 262.5 s for the box to come to rest.

We'll begin by calculating the declaration of the box. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = –8 N (opposition)

Mass (m) = 100 Kg

<h3>Deceleration (a) =? </h3>

<h3>F = ma</h3>

–8 = 100 × a

Divide both side by 1000

a = \frac{-8}{100}

<h3>a = –0.08 ms¯²</h3>

Therefore, the deceleration of the box is –0.08 ms¯²

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the box to come to rest. This can be obtained as follow:

Deceleration (a) = –0.08 ms¯²

Initial velocity (u) = 21 ms¯¹

Final velocity (v) = 0 ms¯¹

<h3>Time (t) =.? </h3>

<h3>v = u + at</h3>

0 = 21 + (–0.08×t)

0 = 21 – 0.08t

Collect like terms

0 – 21 = –0.08t

–21 = –0.08t

Divide both side by –0.08

t = \frac{-21}{-0.08}\\\\

<h3>t = 262.5 s</h3>

Therefore, it will take 262.5 s for the box to come to rest.

3. An athlete makes a long jump and follows a projectile motion. Air resistance is negligible. Which one of the following statem
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

The motion under the influence of gravity is called projectile motion.

The acceleration due to gravity is constant through out the motion and it is always acting downwards.

When an athlete jumps and follow the projectile path, it always have the same horizontal velocity as there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction.

Also he has the vertical acceleration constant which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and acts towards the center of earth.  

Option (b) is correct.
