What does basketballs have inside of it

1 answer:

4 0

Hi there!

Great question!

Basketballs have air inside them. A special pump is used to insert the air. That's why you can lift the basketballs off the ground easily. If it was a solid, though, you'd hardly be able to lift the ball up! Basketballs can float, too, because anything with air inside can float. If it were solid, it would sink in the water easily.

Hope this helps! :D

1. A truck with a mass of 8, 000 kg is traveling at 26.8 m/s when it hits the brakes. A.)What is the momentum of the truck befor

NikAS [45]

Answer:

1. A.) The moment of the truck before it hits the brakes is 214,400 kg·m/s

B.) The force it takes to stop the truck is approximately 17,290.4 N

Explanation:

1. A.) The given parameters are;

The mass of the truck, m = 8,000 kg

The velocity of the truck when it hits the brakes, u = 26.8 m/s

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

The moment of the truck = The mass of the truck × The velocity of the truck

Therefore;

The moment of the truck before it hits the brakes = 8,000 kg × 26.8 m/s = 214,400 kg·m/s

B.) The amount of momentum lost when the truck comes to a stop = The initial momentum of the truck

The time it takes the truck to come to a complete stop, t = 12.4 s

The deceleration, "a" of the truck is given by the following kinematic equation of motion

v = u - a·t

Where;

v = The final velocity of the truck = 0 m/s

u = The initial velocity = 26.8 m/s

a = the deceleration of the truck

t = The time of deceleration of the truck = 12.4 s

Substituting the known values gives;

0 = 26.8 - a × 12.4

Therefore;

26.8 = a × 12.4

a = 26.8/12.4 ≈ 2.1613

The deceleration (negative acceleration) of the truck, a ≈ 2.1613 m/s²

Force = Mass × Acceleration

The force required to stop the truck = The mass pf the truck × The deceleration (negative acceleration) given to the truck

∴ The force it takes to stop the truck = 8,000 kg × 2.1613 m/s² ≈ 17,290.4 N.

Find the angle for the third-order maximum for 591 nm wavelength light falling on a diffraction grating having 1460 lines per ce

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

15.32°

Explanation:

We have given the wavelength $\lambda =591nm=591\times 10^{-9}m$

Diffraction grating is 1460 lines per cm

So $d=\frac{10^{-2}}{1460}=6.71\times 10^{-6}m$ (as 1 m=100 cm )

For maximum diffraction

$dsin\Theta =m\lambda$ here m is order of diffraction

So $6.71\times 10^{-6}sin\Theta =3\times 591\times 10^{-9}$

$sin\Theta =0.264$

$\Theta =15.32^{\circ}$

Which statement about the volume and pressure of a gas is the most accurate? Volume of a gas is equal to pressure of that gas in

Julli [10]

Answer: Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure of that gas in any container.

Explanation:

Hi, according to Boyle's Gas law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of that gas, at a constant temperature.

The expression is:

P1.V1= P2.V2

V= 1/P

PV = k

Where:

P = pressure of a gas

V = volume of a gas

k = constant

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
