A baseball player slides into second base. What happens to his momentum?

2 answers:

7 0

He momentum is reduced by external forces of friction and air resistance. Momentum is not conserved here because this is not a closed system.

Due to friction from sliding against the ground, the player decelerates in 1 direction. Thus his momentum decreases.

1-A car moves toward east 12km is represented as A and it turns towards south 16km is represented as B. What is the resultant ve

hjlf

1. A-20 km south east

The car's displacement consists of two components into two different directions. Using a system of coordinates in which x represents the east direction and y represents the south direction, the two displacements are:

$d_x = 12 km$ east

$d_y = 16 km$ south

Since the two components are orthogonal to each other, we can find the resultant displacement by using Pythagorean's theorem:

$d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(12 km)^2+(16 km)^2}=\sqrt{400}=20 km$

and the direction is between the two original directions, so south-east.

2. D. 10 m/s

First of all, we need to calculate the total time the stone took to hit the ground. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 78.4 m, and since the motion is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, we have

$S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

From which we find the total time of the fall, t:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(78.4 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=4 s$

Now we can consider the horizontal motion of the stone: we know that the stone travels for d = 40 m in a time of t = 4 s, therefore the horizontal velocity of the stone is

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{40 m}{4 s}=10 m/s$

3. B=32.32 m

As in the previous problem, we have to calculate the total time it takes for the stone to reach the river first. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 20 m, we have

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(20 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=2.0 s$

And since the stone is traveling horizontally at v = 16 m/s, the horizontal distance covered is

$d=vt=(16 m/s)(2 s)=32 m$

So, the closest answer is B.

stealth61 [152]

<span>The answer is C. temperature, light level, species of bacteria. All three variables are considerations regarding the reproduction rate of the bacteria. The other three answer choices can be eliminated easily because they each contain at least one irrelevant variable. In particular, all three contain a variable that makes reference to Jack's personal characteristics. These do not have any impact on the experiment and readily stand out to disqualify the entire answer choice.</span>

The magnetic field produced by a long straight current-carrying wire is

alexdok [17]

Answer:

proportional to the current in the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a long, straight current-carrying wire is given by:

$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

I is the current intensity in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

From the formula, we notice that:

- The magnitude of the magnetic field is directly proportional to I, the current

- The magnitude of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire, r

Therefore, correct option is

proportional to the current in the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.
