The altitude of the plane is 32.6 m

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field.

Near the Earth's surface, the potential energy of an object is given by:

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

For the plane in this problem, we know that:

U=960,000 J is the potential energy

m = 3,000 kg is the mass

g=9.8 m/s^2

Solving for h, we find the altitude of the plane:

h=\frac{U}{mg}=\frac{960,000}{(3000)(9.8)}=32.6 m

A person strikes a ball with a bat. The temperature of the ball increases by 0.06ᵒC. What accounts for the increase?
marusya05 [52]

The increase in the average kinetic energy of the ball causes the increase in the temperature of the ball.

Kinetic energy of a particle is directly proportional to its temperature.

A ball initially at rest acquires kinetic energy when an external force is applied to it. As the person strikes the ball with a bat, the ball gains momentum which increases its kinetic energy of the ball.

Temperature on the other hand, is the measure of the average kinetic energy of a particle. Consequently, as the kinetic energy of the ball increases, the temperature of the ball increases as well.

Thus, we can conclude that the increase in the average kinetic energy of the ball causes the increase in the temperature of the ball.

A pitcher throws a 0.144-kg baseball toward the batter so that it crosses home plate horizontally and has a speed of 42 m/s just
Solnce55 [7]

(a) 12.8 kg m/s

The impulse delivered by the bat on the baseball is equal to the change in momentum of the baseball:

I=\Delta p = m(v-u)

where we have

m = 0.144 kg is the mass of the ball

v = -47 m/s is the final velocity of the ball

u = 42 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball

Substituting into the equation, we find

I=(0.144 kg)(-47 m/s-(42 m/s))=-12.8 kg m/s

And since we are interested in the magnitude only,

I=12.8 kg m/s

(b) 2.78 kN

The impulse exerted on the ball is also equal to the product between the average force and the contact time:

I=F\Delta t

where

F is the average force exerted on the ball

\Delta t=0.0046 s is the contact time

Solving the formula for F, we find

F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{12.8 kg m/s}{0.0046 s}=2783 N = 2.78 kN

(c) The force exerted on the ball is much larger (1988 times more) than the weigth of the ball

The weight of the ball is given by

W=mg

where

m = 0.144 kg is the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Solving the equation for W, we find

W=(0.144 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=1.4 N

So as we see, the force exerted on the ball (2783 N) is almost 2000 times larger than the weight of the ball (1.4 N):

\frac{F}{W}=\frac{2783 N}{1.4 N}=1988

A businesswoman is rushing out of a hotel through a revolving door with a force of 80 N applied at the edge of the 3 m wide door
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Force applied F=80\ N

Door is d=3\ m wide

for gate to revolve Properly Pivot Point must be at center i.e. 1.5 from either end

Torque applied is T=force\times distance

Maximum torque

T_{max}=F\times \frac{d}{2}

T_{max}=80\times \frac{3}{2}

T_{max}=120\ N-m

What is hydraulic pressure​
Gnesinka [82]

The total thrust, expressed in pounds or tons, that the hydraulic-feed mechanism on a drill can impose on a drill string; also, the pressure of the fluid within the hydraulic cylinders, generally expressed in pounds per square inch. Ref: Long.

Hydraulic pressure is the force imparted per unit area of a liquid on the surfaces which it has contact. Liquids are incompressible, and as such, when a load acts
