Answer:

It's important for scientists to know the properties of matter because all things are made up of matter. Each type of matter has different physical characteristics and scientists need to know and understand these characteristics to make calculations. The main phases of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

Find the average force exerted by the bat on the ball if the two are in contact for 0.00129 s. Answer in units of N.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time of contact between bat and ball is $t=0.00129 s$

suppose u is the incoming velocity and v is the final velocity after collision

$m=mass\ of\ ball$

Impulse exerted is given by change in momentum of the particle.

Initial momentum $P_i=m\times u$

Final momentum $P_f=m\times v$

Change in momentum $\Delta P=P_i-P_f$

Impulse $J=F_{avg}\cdot t=\Delta P$

$J=F_{avg}\cdot t=m(u-v)$

$F_{avg}=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}$

$F_{avg}=775.2\times m(v-u)\ N$

A space vehicle is traveling at 2980 km/h relative to Earth when the exhausted rocket motor is disengaged and sent backward. The

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

3054.4 km/h

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum

momentum before separation = 5M × 2980 Km/h where M represent the mass of the module while 4 M represent the mass of the motor

initial momentum = 14900 M km/h

let v be the new speed of the motor so that the

new momentum = 4Mv and the new momentum of the module = M ( v + 94 km/h )

total momentum = 4Mv + Mv + 93 M = 5 Mv + 93M

initial momentum = final momentum

14900 M km/h = 5 Mv + 93M

14900 km/h = 5v + 93

14900 - 93 = 5v

v = 2961.4 km/h

the speed of the module = 2961.4 + 93 = 3054.4 km/h

The rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Considering first question

Generally the coefficient of performance of the air condition is mathematically represented as

$COP = \frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$

Here $T_i$ is the inside temperature

while $T_o$ is the outside temperature

What this coefficient of performance represent is the amount of heat the air condition can remove with 1 unit of electricity

So it implies that the air condition removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ heat with 1 unit of electricity

Now from the question we are told that the rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between inside and outside. This can be mathematically represented as

$Q \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)$

=> $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

Here k is the constant of proportionality

since 1 unit of electricity removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ amount of heat

E unit of electricity will remove $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

$E = \frac{k(T_o - T_i)}{\frac{T_i}{ T_h - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} (T_o - T_i)^2$

given that $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is constant

=> $E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^2$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square of the temperature difference.

Considering the second question

Assuming that $T_i = 30 ^oC$

and $T_o = 40 ^oC$

Hence

$E = K (T_o - T_i)^2$

Here K stand for a constant

$E = K (40 - 30)^2$

=> $E = 100K$

Now if the $T_i = 20 ^oC$

Then

$E = K (40 - 20)^2$

=> $E = 400 \ K$

So from this see that the electricity require (cost of powering and operating the air conditioner)when the inside temperature is low is much higher than the electricity required when the inside temperature is higher

Considering the third question

Now in the case where the heat that enters the building is at a rate proportional to the square-root of the temperature difference between inside and outside

We have that

$Q = k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }$

$E = \frac{k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }}{\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} * (T_o - T_i) ^{\frac{3}{2} }$

Assuming $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is a constant

Then

$E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^{\frac{3}{2} }$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square root of the cube of the temperature difference.
