Answer:

p = 6.25 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of the baseball, v = 44.7 m/s

Weight of the baseball, W = 1.4 N

Firstly we need to find the mass of the baseball. It can be calculated as :

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{1.4\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}

m = 0.14 kg

The momentum of an object is equal to the product of mass and velocity. It is given by :

p=m\times v

p=0.14\ kg\times 44.7\ m/s

p = 6.25 kg-m/s

So, the momentum it have when it hits the catcher is 6.25 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

1.4 N is a weight so calculating it's mass
1.4/9.8 = 0.1428 kg
momentum will be 0.1428*44.7 = 6.38 kgm/s

Two objects, one with a mass of and the other with a force of 30.0kg experience a gravitational force of attraction of 7.50 * 10
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for this is

F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one object and m2 is the mass of the other object. We are looking for r, the distance between the centers of their masses.

Filling in:

7.5*10^{-8}=\frac{6.67*10^{-11}(90.0)(30.0)}{r^2} and moving things around to solve for r:

r=\sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}(90.0)(30.0)}{7.5*10^{-8}} } Doing all that and rounding to the 3 sig fig's you need gives us a distance of 1.55 m

A wave passes along the surface of the water in a ripple tank. Describe the motion of a molecule on the surface as the water pas
laila [671]

Answer:

Explanation:

Water waves are generally a transverse wave which do not cause permanent displacement of molecules of the medium. Transverse waves are waves in which the direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the particles of the medium.

As the wave propagates from one point to another on the surface of water transferring energy, a molecule of water on its surface vibrates upwards and downwards. Its motion is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. After the vibration, it comes back to its initial position.

A radio wave has a speed of 3.00 x10^8 and a frequency of 100 MHz. What is the wavelength?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Wavelength of radio is wave is 3 m

Explanation:

Wavelength of radio is wave is

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v=3 \times 10^8 m\s\\f=100 Mhz

wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8}{100\times 10^6} \\\\\lambda=3 m\\

larisa [96]

Answer:

B, C, F

Explanation:

B: Sugar can be separated from the water by evaporating the water. This will leave large chunks of sugar.

C: Sugar gets spread out among the water.

F: Sugar water is a homogeneous <u>mixture. </u>Can't see the individual components because of the dissolving.

Hoped this helped! :)

A stationary 15 kg object is located in a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the su
Marta_Voda [28]

The net force acting on the object perpendicular to the table is

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg = 0

where mg is the weight of the object. Then

F[normal] = mg = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 147 N

The maximum magnitude of static friction is then

0.40 F[normal] = 58.8 N

which means the applied 40 N force is not enough to make the object start to move. So the object has zero acceleration and does not move.
