ANSWER:

101.08 joules.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

m = 0.140 kg

v = 38.0 m/s

Kinetic energy can be calculated using the following formula:

E=\frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v^2

Replacing

\begin{gathered} E=\frac{1}{2}\cdot0.140\cdot(38.0)^2 \\ E=101.08\text{ J} \end{gathered}

The kinetic energy of baseball is 101.08 joules.

Why does the gravitational field strength increase with latitude
otez555 [7]
The second major reason for the difference in gravity at differentlatitudes is that the Earth's equatorial bulge (itself also caused by centrifugalforce from rotation) causes objects at the Equator to be farther from the planet's centre than objects at the poles.

A 1400 kg car traveling at 17.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4700 kg truck that is at rest. The car and truck stick together
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Final velocity = 7.677 m/s

KE before crash = 202300 J

KE after crash = 182,702.62 J

Explanation:

We are given;

m1 = 1400 kg

m2 = 4700 kg

u1 = 17 m/s

u2 = 0 m/s

Using formula for inelastic collision, we have;

m1•u1 + m2•u2 = (m1 + m2)v

Where v is final velocity after collision.

Plugging in the relevant values;

(1400 × 17) + (4700 × 0) = (1400 + 1700)v

23800 = 3100v

v = 23800/3100

v = 7.677 m/s

Kinetic energy before crash = ½ × 1400 × 17² = 202300 J

Kinetic energy after crash = ½(1400 + 1700) × 7.677² = 182,702.62 J

A star is held together by:gravitynuclear fissionnuclear fusionacceleration
alina1380 [7]
Nuclear fusion in the core tries to blow the star apart. Gravity holds it together. Whoever designed that system really knew what he was doing. I'm​ kinda grateful to him.
