Which of the following statements are true?Check all that apply.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

1.The Sun is located at one of the foci of the planets' elliptical orbits.

2.The path of the planets around the Sun is elliptical in shape.

Explanation:

As per Kepler's law of planet motion we know that all planets revolve around the sun in elliptical path in such a way that position of Sun must be at one of the focii of the path

So all planets are in elliptical path always

Position of sun is always at one of the focus

so correct answer will be

1.The Sun is located at one of the foci of the planets' elliptical orbits.

2.The path of the planets around the Sun is elliptical in shape.

During a neighborhood baseball game in a vacant lot, a particularly wild hit sends a 0.148 kg baseball crashing through the pane
mr_godi [17]

Explanation:

Mass of baseball, m = 0.148 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 14.5 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = 11.5 m/s

After crashing through the pane of a second-floor window, the ball shatters the glass as it passes through, and leaves the window at 11.5 m/s with no change of direction. So, the direction of the impulse that the glass imparts to the baseball is in opposite direction to the direction of the balls path.

The change in momentum of the ball is called impulse. It is given by :

J=m(v-u)\\\\J=0.148\times (11.5-14.5) \\\\J=-0.444\ kg-m/s\\\\|J|=0.444\ kg-m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

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.

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studying?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Longitudinal Mechanical Wave

Explanation:

Mechanical waves are the waves that require medium to propagate. And a longitudinal wave is a wave in which the vibration of the energy(here: mass specifically) is in the direction of propagation of wave.

Shock wave, strong pressure wave in any elastic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance, produced by supersonic aircraft, explosions, lightning, or other phenomena that create violent changes in pressure.

Shock waves travel faster than sound and their speed increases as the amplitude of the wave is increased but their intensity fades faster due to the fact that some of its energy gets expended in the form of heat due to the resistance of the medium.

What is the formula for instant velocity when I have time and distance?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

v(t)= (d/dt)x(t)

Explanation:

The instantaneous velocity of an object is the limit of the average velocity as the elapsed time approaches zero, or the derivative of x with respect to t. Like average velocity, instantaneous velocity is a vector with dimension of length per time. The instantaneous velocity at a specific time point  t 0  is the rate of change of the position function, which is the slope of the position function  

x ( t ) at  t 0 .
