Why is it possible to throw a 0.145 kg baseball much further than a 7 kg bowling ball?

1 answer:

7 0

It is possible to throw a 0.145 kg baseball much further than a 7 kg bowling ball, because the 0.145 kg baseball is of a smaller mass than the 7 kg bowling ball and it also offers less resistance to motion and hence it would go further than the 7 kg bowling ball.

Two point charges 3q and −8q (with q > 0) are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.

So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.

force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so

k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²

8x² = 3 (L+x)²

2√2 x = √3 (L+x)

2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L

x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L

x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Let us consider the balancing force on 3q

force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal

kQ . 3q / x² = k3q 8q / L²

Q = 8q (x² / L²)

so charge required = - 8q (x² / L²)

and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

How efficient is a pulley system if it enables you to lift a 600.0 Newton engine 0.600 meters if you exerted 35.7 Newtons of for

muminat

Answer:

η = 0.882 = 88.2 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of the pulley system can be given as follows:

$\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{In}}\\\\$

where,

η = efficiency of pulley system = ?

W_out = Output Work = (600 N)(0.6 m) = 360 J

W_in = Input Work = (35.7 N)(11.43 m) = 408.051 J

Therefore,

$\eta = \frac{360\ J}{408.051\ J}$

A crate filled with delicious junk food rests on a horizontal floor. Only gravity and the support force of the floor act on it,

stealth61 [152]

The words "... as shown ..." tell us that there's a picture that goes along
with this question, and you decided not to share it. That's sad and
disappointing, but I think the question can be answered without seeing
the picture.

The net force on the crate is zero. Evidence for this is that fact that
the crate is just sitting there. If the net force on an object is not zero,
then the object is accelerating ... it's either speeding up, slowing down,
or its the direction of its motion is changing. If none of these things is
happening, then the net force on the object must be zero.

Technician A says that a tire will increase or decrease approximately 1 psi for each 10°F change of temperature. Technician B sa

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

It is seen that a tire pressure will increase or decrease 1 psi for each $10^{\circ} F$ change in temperature.

For Technician B vehicle pressure should not be adjusted after tire has been warmed as the warm air may increase the pressure but it will be auto adjusted as the temperature falls to normal .
