If a force does not act parallel to the resulting displacement, what is the effect on the work done by the force?

1 answer:

8 0

Then only the component of the force that's parallel to the displacement
is used to calculate the work. The component of force that's perpendicular
to the displacement doesn't move through any distance at all, so its contribution
to the total work is zero.

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high pop-up. If the ball remains in the air for 4.02 s, how high above the point where i

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

d = 19.796m

Explanation:

Since the ball is in the air for 4.02 seconds, the ball should reach the maximum point from the ground in half the total time, therefore, t=2.01s to reach maximum height. At the maximum height, the velocity in the y-direction is 0.

So we know t=2.01, vi=0, g=a=9.8m/s and we are solving for d.

Next, you look for a kinematic equation that has these parameters and the one you should choose is:

$d=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Now by substituting values in, we get

$d=(0\frac{m}{s})*(2.01s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(2.01)^2$

d = 19.796m

What is the diurnal motion of the stars

OlgaM077 [116]

The answer is shown below:

"The diurnal motion" of the stars is defined as the apparent daily motion of stars around the Earth. The cause for this "apparent motion of stars" was proposed by Heraclides (who was a Greek philosopher and astronomer). He afirmed that this was created by the Earth's rotation on its axis, which is completed in 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds.

A mass of gas under constant Pressure occupies a volume of 0.5 M3 At a temperature of 20ﾟC using the formula for Cubic expansion

MAVERICK [17]

To answer this question, we must use the equation for the volumetric expansion of gases at constant pressure. This equation is given by:

$V=V_{0}(1 + \alpha(T_{2}-T_{1}))$
