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

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.

An initially motionless test car is accelerated to 115 km/h in 8.58 s before striking a simulated deer. The car is in contact wi
hoa [83]

Answer:

a)       a = 3.72 m / s², b)    a = -18.75 m / s²

Explanation:

a) Let's use kinematics to find the acceleration before the collision

             v = v₀ + at

as part of rest the v₀ = 0

             a = v / t

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

              v = 115 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s)

              v = 31.94 m / s

              v₂ = 60 km / h = 16.66 m / s

l

et's calculate

             a = 31.94 / 8.58

             a = 3.72 m / s²

b) For the operational average during the collision let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum

            I = Δp

            F Δt = m v_f - m v₀

            F = \frac{m ( v_f - v_o)}{t}

            F = m [16.66 - 31.94] / 0.815

            F = m (-18.75)

Having the force let's use Newton's second law

            F = m a

            -18.75 m = m a

             a = -18.75 m / s²

If the potential difference across a 12-ohm resistor is 6 volts, the current through the resistor is?
larisa86 [58]
Current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the resistor and directly to the potential difference across it.

I = V/R = 6/12 = 0.5 A

Why is plate tectonics a widely accepted theory?
MariettaO [177]

Answer: The theory of Plate Tectonics is now widely accepted because there is sufficient proof to support it, and it is an important aspect of geology, oceanography, geophysics and even paleontology.

Explanation: In places where a plate faced resistance to its movement, it would fold upward and create mountains. Hope this helped! :)

How does the search for exoplanets help us describe how science requires creativity?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

As the planets are very small and dark in comparison with stars, it makes them very hard to be found from earth.

Explanation:

Astronomy, of course, has a solution for this. As astronomers can't observe planets directly, they decided to observe the stars and search for the effects that planets have on them.

There are many ways of observing the exoplanets: Radial Velocity, Transit Photometry, Microlensing, Astrometry, Direct Imaging, etc.

Before all of this, scientist had to find ways to prove their theories. Most of their time they have spent in giving the creative answers.

Science and creativity are very much connected when we speak about the development of science. Rationality and creativity always go together.

In order to create an idea that other people will consider useful, it is important to use creativity. As no one has the exact answer when it comes to science, the adventure is to research the unknown.
