Answer: A. 50m/s

Explanation

Step 1

The first step is to define velocity.  Velocity is a measure of how fast displacement is changing with time. When discussing the velocity of a object we have to take into account that direction is important.

Step 2

The second step is to calculate the change in velocity.  The object is initially travelling with a velocity of +20m/s and then hits the bat, changes directions and travels at -30m/s in a direction opposite to it's initial direction. The change in velocity is calculated as shown below,

\Delta v=v_1-v_2\\\Delta v = +20m/s-(-30m/s)=+20m/s +30m/s = 50m/s.

The correct answer is 50m/s

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Speed will be 30810 rpm      

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the tire d = 24 inch

So radius r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{24}{2}=12imch

We have given linear velocity v = 35 mph

We know that linear velocity is given by v=\omega r

35=\omega \times 12

\omega =\frac{35}{12}\times \frac{63360}{60}=3080rad/min

As we know that 1 mile = 63360 inch and 1 hour = 60 min

A 500 W immersion heater is placed in a pot containing 1.00 L of water at 20oC. (a) How long will the water take to rise to the
tatiyna

Answer:

96 s.

Explanation:

(a)

From the question,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................... Equation 1

Where Q = heat required to boil the water, c = specific heat capacity of the water, m = mass of the water, t₂ = final temperature of water, t₁ = initial temperature of water

Note: The boiling point of water = 100 °C

Given: c = 4200 J/kg.°C, t₂ = 100 °C, t₁ = 20 °C

mass of water = density×volume

m = D×v, Where D = 1000 kg/m³, v = 1.00 L = 0.001 m³

Hence, m = 1000×0.001 = 1 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 4200×1(100-20)

Q = 4200×8

Q = 33600 J.

But,

P = Q/t................... Equation 2

make t  the subject of the equation

t = Q/P................. Equation 3

Where P = power, t = time

From the question,

70 % of the available energy is absorbed by water.

P = 0.7×500 = 350 W.

Substitute into equation 2

t = 33600/350

t = 96 s.

Why would companies want their sunscreen to absorb nearly all of the UV light?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Sunscreen is like a shield, you would want a better shield to protect you than a weak one so companies try to make their sunscreen better than the rest.
