After hitting a long fly ball that goes over the right fielder's head and lands in the outfield, the batter decides to keep goin

g past second base and try for third base. The 67 kg player begins sliding 3.40 m from the base with a speed of 4.35 m/s. a.) If the player comes to rest at third base, how much work was done on the player by friction? b.) If the player comes to rest at third base, What was the coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground?

Answer:

a) 633.39 J

b) 0.28

Explanation:

a)The kinetic energy of the player = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

Work done by friction = energy change of the player

                                    = \frac{1}{2} 67(4.35)^{2} = 633.9 J

b) Assuming the frictional force stays constant,

Work done by friction = Frictional force×distance

Frictional force = kinetic friction(μ)×normal reaction

Normal reaction = weight = mass×gravitational acceleration ( g=10m/s2 )

Combining these equations

633.9  =  F×3.4 ⇒ F = 186.44 N

F = μmg ⇒ μ = F/mg

                     = 186.44/670

                      = 0.28

Find the rms speed of the molecules of a sample of n2 (diatomic nitrogen) gas at a temperature of 31.5°c.
Artemon [7]
The rms speed can be calculated using the following rule:
rms = sqrt ((3RT) / (M)) where:
R is the gas constant =  8.314 J/mol-K
T is the temperature = 31.5 + 273 = 304.5 degrees kelvin
M is the molar mass = 2*14 = 28 grams = 0.028 kg

Substitute with the givens to get the rms speed as follows:
rms speed = sqrt [(3*8.314*304.5) / (0.028)] = 520.811 m/sec

Which of the physical variables listed below will change when you change the area of the capacitor plates (while keeping the bat
RSB [31]

Answer:

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates  

e. Energy stored in the capacitor

Explanation:

Let A be the area of the capacitor plate

The capacitance of a capacitor is given as;

C = \frac{Q}{V} = \frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} \\\\

where;

V is the potential difference between the plates

The charge on the plates is given as;

Q = \frac{V\epsilon _0 A}{d}

The energy stored in the capacitor is given as;

E = \frac{1}{2} CV^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} )V^2

Thus, the physical variables listed that will change include;

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates  

e. Energy stored in the capacitor
