You'll never get the correct answer without the correct conversion factor. Note carefully that you have no decimal. It should be 
<span>1 km = 0.6214 miles </span>
<span>1000 m = 1 km </span>
<span>60 seconds = 1 minute </span>
<span>60 minutes = 1 hour. </span>
<span>2.998E8 m/s x (1 km/1000m) x (0.6214 miles/km) x (60 sec/min) x (60 min/hr) = ?</span>

. During a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from 20.0 m/s toward the wall to 12.0 m/s away from th
mixer [17]

Answer:

106.7 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the impulse theorem, which states that the product between the average force applied and the duration of the collision is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

F \Delta t = m (v-u)

where

F is the average force

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

m is the mass of the ball

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

In this problem:

m = 0.200 kg

u = 20.0 m/s

v = -12.0 m/s

\Delta t = 60.0 ms = 0.06 s

Solving for F,

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.200 kg) (-12.0 m/s-20.0 m/s)}{0.06 s}=-106.7 N

And since we are interested in the magnitude only,

F = 106.7 N

Which is the force of repulsion between two positively-charged particles?
klio [65]
<span> answer>>>>electric force <<<<by the way i don't like physics but i answer this for you ^-^</span>


<span>This is because centripetal force is just the net force of a circular motion. There are no attractive or repulsive forces here. This is not the case here. </span>
<span>The gravitational force is a force reliant on mass and attraction of the masses. There are attractive forces here, but not really repulsive forces. </span>
<span>The electric force is the only one that would make sense because it has to do with a relationship between charges and includes both repulsive and attractive forces.</span>

Why are eight electrons (four pairs) surrounding each non-hydrogen atom the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecule
rodikova [14]

Eight electrons surrounding each non-hydrogen atom is the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecules because it is needed to achieve an octet structure and is necessary to fill both the s and p subshells of electrons.

<h3>What is Covalent bonding?</h3>

This is the type of bonding which involves the sharing of electrons between atoms of an element.

This is done to achieve an octet configuration thereby making them stable and less reactive thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

What is wrong with the following statement: When you exert a force on a baseball, the equal and opposite force on the ball balan
gregori [183]

Answer:

When you exert a force on a baseball, there exists an equal and opposite force on the ball therefore, the ball will accelerate in opposite direction.

Explanation:

When you hit a ball with baseball bat, the bat exerts a great force on the ball which causes the ball to accelerate in the opposite direction. It is to be noted that the mass of bat is much greater than mass of ball but the acceleration of ball is also greater than the acceleration of the bat so both bat and ball almost exert same magnitude of force but in opposite direction and as a result both bat and ball accelerate in opposite direction, the deciding factor is of course the relative force applied by the batter and the bowler.
