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}

Vlad [161]

As we know that in transformers we have

\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}

here we know that

V_s = 17,500 Volts

V_p = 350,000 Volts

N_s = 600 coils

now from above equation we will have

\frac{17500}{350000} = \frac{600}{N_p}

N_p = 600\times \frac{350000}{17500}

N_p = 12000 coils

In comparison with a steep slope, a gentle slope _____.
kifflom [539]

A gentle slope requires less force over a longer distance as compared to steep slope.

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage of a slope is equal to the ratio of length of slope and the height. A steep slope has shorter length as compared to a gentle slope for the same height. Therefore, mechanical advantage of a gentle slope is more than that of a steep slope. Hence, a gentle slope requires less force over a long distance than a steep slope.

Which type of macromolecules a cell brake down food?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Hope this helps you find the answer

Explanation:

The proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides that make up most of the food we eat must be broken down into smaller molecules before our cells can use them—either as a source of energy or as building blocks for other molecules.

A music fan at a swimming pool is listening to a radio on a diving platform. The radio is playing a constant- frequency tone whe
joja [24]

Answer:

The Doppler Effect is given by the following relation;

f' = \left (\dfrac{v + v_0}{v - v_s} \right) \times f

Where;

f' = The frequency the observer hears

f = Actual frequency of the wave

v = The velocity of the sound wave

v_o = The velocity of the observer

v_s = The velocity of the source

Where the observer is stationary, we have;

(i) When the source is moving in the direction of the observer

f' = \left (\dfrac{v }{v - v_s} \right) \times f

(ii) When the source is receding from the observer, we have;

f' = \left (\dfrac{v }{v + v_s} \right) \times f

Therefore;

(a) A person left behind on the platform

For a person left behind on the platform, we have that the radio source is receding, therefore, we have;

f' = \left (\dfrac{v }{v + v_s} \right) \times f

(1) Given that (v + v_s) > v, therefore, v < (v + v_s), f' < f, the frequency heard by the person left on the platform, f', is smaller (lower) than the frequency produced by the radio

(2) The frequency is not constant as the speed of the source is increasing while it under the acceleration due to gravity

(3) During the fall, the speed of the source continuously increases under the effect of gravitational attraction and therefore the frequency heard by the person on the platform becomes progressively smaller

(b) A person down below floating on a rubber raft

For the the person down below on the rubber raft, the radio source is advancing

Therefore, the radio source is moving towards the person at rest down on the rubber raft, therefore, we have;

f' = \left (\dfrac{v }{v - v_s} \right) \times f

(1) Given that (v - v_s) < v, therefore, f' > f, the frequency heard by the person down below floating on the rubber raft, f', is greater (higher) than the frequency produced by the radio

(2) The frequency is not constant as the speed of the source is increasing while it under the acceleration due to gravity

(3) During the fall, the speed of the source continuously increases under the effect of gravitational attraction and therefore the frequency heard by the person on the platform becomes progressively greater (higher)
