Velocity is a vector, and the initial and final ones are in opposite directions.
There must have been acceleration in order to change the direction of motion.

A) No. The initial and final velocities are the same.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", and the initial and final velocities are NOT the same.

B) Yes. The ball had to slow down in order to change direction.
This is poor, and not the correct choice.
The "Yes" is correct, but the explanation is bad.
Acceleration does NOT require any change in speed.

C) No. Acceleration is the change in velocity. The ball's velocity is constant.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", there IS acceleration, and the ball's velocity is NOT constant.

D) Yes. Even though the initial and final velocities are the same, there is a change in direction for the ball.
This choice is misleading too.
The "Yes" is correct ... there IS acceleration.
The change in direction is the reason.
The initial and final velocities are NOT the same. Only the speeds are.

-Surgen de una interacción.
-Nunca aparece una sola: son dos y simultáneas.
-Actúan sobre cuerpos diferentes: una en cada cuerpo.
-Nunca forman un par de fuerzas: tienen la misma línea de acción.
-Un cuerpo que experimenta una única interacción no está en equilibrio, pues sobre el aparece una fuerza unica que lo acelera. Para estar en equilibrio se requieren por lo menos dos interacciones.

a baseball is pitched with a speed of 35.0m/s. how long does it take the ball to travel 18.4 m from the pitchers mound to home p

Vlad [161]

Given the speed and the distance, to find time you can use the formula speed is equal to distance over time. From there you can manipulate the equation for time to equal the distance divided by speed. Time is equal to 18.4 meters divided by 35m/s which equals 0.526 seconds.

Answer:

15.3 s and 332 m

Explanation:

With the launch of projectiles expressions we can solve this problem, with the acceleration of the moon

gm = 1/6 ge

gm = 1/6 9.8 m/s² = 1.63 m/s²

We calculate the range

R = Vo² sin 2θ / g

R = 25² sin (2 30) / 1.63

R= 332 m

We will calculate the time of flight,

Y = Voy t – ½ g t2

Voy = Vo sin θ

When the ball reaches the end point has the same initial height Y=0

0 = Vo sin  t – ½ g t2

0 = 25 sin (30) t – ½ 1.63 t2

0= 12.5 t – 0.815 t2

We solve the equation

0= t ( 12.5 -0.815 t)

t=0 s

t= 15.3 s

The value of zero corresponds to the departure point and the flight time is 15.3 s

Let's calculate the reach on earth

R2 = 25² sin (2 30) / 9.8

R2 = 55.2 m

R/R2 = 332/55.2

R/R2 = 6

Therefore the ball travels a distance six times greater on the moon than on Earth

What does Electromagnetic induction mean?

mina [271]

Answer:

Electromagnetic introduction is the production of an electromotive force (voltage) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.

Step up transformers is a transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is greater than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-up transformer. The step-up transformer decreases the output current for keeping the input and output power of the system equal.

Step down transformer is a transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is less than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-down transformer. The number of turns on the primary of the transformer is greater than the turn on the secondary of the transformer.

The difference between them:

A transformer is a static device which transfers a.c electrical power from one circuit to the other at the same frequency, but the voltage level is usually changed. For economical reasons, electric power is required to be transmitted at high voltage whereas it has to be utilized at low voltage from a safety point of view. This increase in voltage for transmission and decrease in voltage for utilization can only be achieved by using a step-up and step-down transformer.

Hopefully this helped.
