Answer:

6.37 x 10³ Km

Explanation:

given,

Radius of earth = 6,370,000 m

we know,

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 0.001 Km

6,370,000 m =  6,370,000 x 0.001

                       = 6,370 Km

The number 6,370 has 3 significant figure.

To transform this to an exponential number, it is necessary to move the decimal to the left so there is only one digit in front of the decimal point.

Representing the given number in scientific notation

      = 6.37 x 10³ Km

Why is gravitational forces equal for everyone?
Alik [6]

That equation is Newton's universal law of gravitation. ... Any two masses exert equal-and-opposite gravitational forces on each other. If we drop a ball, the Earth exerts a gravitational force on the ball, but the ball exerts a gravitational force of the same magnitude (and in the opposite direction) on the Earth.

10 basic rules of badminton?​
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The 10 rules of badminton are as follows:

1. A game starts with a coin toss. Whoever wins the toss gets to decide whether they would serve or receive first OR what side of the court they want to be on. The side losing the toss shall then exercise the remaining choice.

2. At no time during the game should the player touch the net, with his racquet or his body.

3. The shuttlecock should not be carried on or come to rest on the racquet.

4. A player should not reach over the net to hit the shuttlecock.

5. A serve must carry cross court (diagonally) to be valid.

6. During the serve, a player should not touch any of the lines of the court, until the server strikes the shuttlecock. During the serve the shuttlecock should always be hit from below the waist.

7. A point is added to a player's score as and when he wins a rally.

8. A player wins a rally when he strikes the shuttlecock and it touches the floor of the opponent's side of the court or when the opponent commits a fault. The most common type of fault is when a player fails to hit the shuttlecock over the net or it lands outside the boundary of the court.

9. Each side can strike the shuttlecock only once before it passes over the net. Once hit, a player can't strike the shuttlecock in a new movement or shot.

10. The shuttlecock hitting the ceiling, is counted as a fault.

A 6.0 kg metal ball moving at 4.0 m/s hits a 6.0 kg ball of putty at rest and sticks to it. The two go on at 2.0 m/s.
lutik1710 [3]

The metal ball lost energy while the putty ball gained energy.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the body. We must note that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

1) Kinetic energy before collision = 1/2mv^2 = 0.5 * 6 * 4 = 12 J

2) kinetic energy after collision = 0.5 * 6 *  2= 6 J

3) Kinetic energy of putty ball = 0.5 * 6 *  2= 6 J

4) Energy lost by the metal ball = 12 J -  6 J = 6 J

5) Energy gained by the putty ball = 6 J - 0J = 6 J

6) The rest of the energy was converted to heat after the collision.

the 200 g baseball has a horizontal velocity of 30 m/s when it is struck by the bat, B, weighing 900 g, moving at 47 m/s. during
Ivanshal [37]

Solution :

Given :

Mass of the baseball, m = 200 g

Velocity of the baseball, u = -30 m/s

Mass of the baseball after struck by the bat, M = 900 g

Velocity of the baseball after struck by the bat, v = 47 m/s

According to the conservation of momentum,

Mv+mu=Mv_1+mv_2

(900 x 47) + (200 x -30)  = (900 x v_1) + (200 x v_2)

36300 =  (900 x v_1) + (200 x v_2)

9v_1 + 2v_2 = 363 ..............(i)

9v_1 = 363 - 2v_2

v_1=\frac{363 - 2v_2}{9}

The mathematical expression for the conservation of kinetic energy is

\frac{1}{2}Mv^2+\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}Mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2

\frac{1}{2}(900)(47)^2+\frac{1}{2}(200)(-30)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(900)v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}(200)v_2^2    ................(ii)

$(9)(14)^2+(2)(-30)^2 = (9)v_1^2+2v_2^2$  

21681 = 9v_1^2+2v_2^2

Substituting (i) in (ii)

21681= 9\left( \frac{363-2v_2}{9}\right)^2+2v_2^2

(363-2v_2)^2+18v_2^2=195129

(363)^2+18v_2^2-2(363)(2v_2)+(363)^2-195129=0

22v_2^2-145v_2-63360=0

Solving the equation, we get

v_2=96 \ m/s, -30 \ m/s

The negative velocity is neglected.

Therefore, substituting 96 m/s for v_2 in (i), we get

v_1=\frac{363-(2 \times 96)}{9}

     = 19

Thus, only impulse of importance is used to find final velocity.
