Julio hit a baseball. What caused the ball to change direction at the time of impact?

WARRIOR [948]

The answer is c. the force of his swing

At the time of the impact, there is a collision between two bodies moving in opposite directions.

The force exerted on the ball causes the change of velocity.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

A. Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. Vy = -45.73 m/s

C. |V| = 45.87 m/s

D. θ = -85.46°

Explanation:

Given that position, r, is given as:

r = 3.63tˆi − 5.73t^2ˆj + 8.16ˆk

Velocity is the derivative of position, r:

V = dr/dt = 3.63 - 11.46t^j

A. x component of velocity, Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. y component of velocity, Vy = -11.46t

t = 3.99 secs,

Vy = - 11.46 * 3.99 = -45.73 m/s

C. Magnitude of velocity, |V| = √[(-45.73)² + 3.63²]

|V| = √(2091.2329 + 13.1769)

|V| = √(2104.4098)

|V| = 45.87 m/s

D. Angle of the velocity relative to the x axis, θ is given as:

tanθ = Vy/Vx

tanθ = -45.73/3.63

tanθ = -12.6

θ = -85.46°

How much current must be applied across a 60 Ω light bulb filament in order for it to consume 55 W of power? Unserious answers w

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: current I = 0.96 Ampere

Explanation:

Given that the

Resistance R = 60 Ω

Power = 55 W

Power is the product of current and voltage. That is

P = IV ...... (1)

But voltage V = IR. From ohms law.

Substitutes V in equation (1) power is now

P = I^2R

Substitute the above parameters into the formula to get current I

55 = 60 × I^2

Make I^2 the subject of formula

I^2 = 55/60

I^2 = 0.92

I = sqr(0.92)

I = 0.957 A

Therefore, 0.96 A current must be applied.

You wiggle a string,that is fixed to a wall at the other end, creating a sinusoidalwave with a frequency of 2.00 Hz and an ampli

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A general wave function is given by:

$f(x,t)=Acos(kx-\omega t)$

A: amplitude of the wave = 0.075m

k: wave number

w: angular frequency

a) You use the following expressions for the calculation of k, w, T and λ:

$\omega = 2\pi f=2\pi (2.00Hz)=12.56\frac{rad}{s}$

$k=\frac{\omega}{v}=\frac{12.56\frac{rad}{s}}{12.0\frac{m}{s}}=1.047\ m^{-1}$

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{2.00Hz}=0.5s\\\\\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{1.047m^{-1}}=6m$

b) Hence, the wave function is:

$f(x,t)=0.075m\ cos((1.047m^{-1})x-(12.56\frac{rad}{s})t)$

c) for x=3m you have:

$f(3,t)=0.075cos(1.047*3-12.56t)$

d) the speed of the medium:

$\frac{df}{dt}=\omega Acos(kx-\omega t)\\\\\frac{df}{dt}=(12.56)(1.047)cos(1.047x-12.56t)$

you can see the velocity of the medium for example for x = 0:

$v=\frac{df}{dt}=13.15cos(12.56t)$
