A baseball would hit the bat harder. This is because the baseball is a lot heavier and more dense than the plastic ball. The keyword that you're looking for is density. The baseball is dense.

Alinara [238K]

The specific heat of a metal or any element or compound can be determined using the formula Cp = delta H / delta T / mass. delta pertains to change. That is change in enthalpy and change in temperature. From the given data, Cp is equal to 343 cal per (86-19) c per 55 grams. This is equal to 0.093 cal / g deg. Celsius

How do you calculate the gravitational force on a rubber ball which has a mass of 50g

AfilCa [17]

P (gravitational force) = m (mass) x g
<=> P = 0.05 x 10
<=> P = 0.5N

Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, t

stellarik [79]

Answer:

0.243 m/s

Explanation:

From law of conservation of motion,

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first car, m' = mass of the second car, initial velocity of the first car, u' = initial velocity of the second car, V = Final velocity of both cars.

make V the subject of the equation

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')................. Equation 2

Given: m = 260000 kg, u = 0.32 m/s, m' = 52500 kg, u' = -0.14 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

V = (260000×0.32+52500×(-0.14))/(260000+52500)

V = (83200-7350)/312500

V = 75850/312500

V = 0.243 m/s

Two teams of nine members each engage in tug-of-war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an

diamong [38]

Answer:

(a) Acceleration = 0.1063 m/s^2 (Second team wins)

(b) Tension in rope = 65.106 N

Explanation:

Total mass of first team = 68 * 9 = 612 kg

Total force of first team = 1350 * 9 = 12150 N

Total mass of second team = 73 * 9 = 657 kg

Total force of seconds team = 1365 * 9 = 12285 N

Difference in force = 12285 - 12150 = 135 N (towards the second team as it has more force)

(a) For acceleration we get:

F = m * a

135 = (mass of both teams) * a

a = 135 / (612 + 657)

acceleration = 0.1063 m/s^2 (Second team wins)

(b) Since we know the acceleration of the first team (pulling being pulled towards the second team at an acceleration of 0.1063 m/s^2) , we can find out the force required to move them:

Force required for first team = mass of first team * acceleration

Force required = 612 * 0.1063

Force required = 65.106 N

This is the force exerted on the first team through the rope, so the tension in the rope will also be 65.106 N.

Which statement best describes the motion of air particles in a sound wave?

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

They vibrate parallel to the wave.

During the propagation of a sound wave in air, the vibrations of the particles are most accurately represented as longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are waves in which the motion of the individual particles of the medium occurs in a direction that is parallel to the direction of energy transmission.
