Given the diamond shape of a baseball field and the speed with which baseballs are hit, why is it harder for a hitter to hit a h

omerun to center field than to right or left field? (Consider the effect of air drag on fast moving projectiles.)

Because it is a much longer distance to home plate to center field than home plate to left field or right field.

The electric potential difference across the membrane of a body cell is 0.070 V (higher on the outside than on the inside). The

12345 [234]

Answer:

The electric field is $8.75 \times 10^{6}~v~m^{-1}$ and the ditection is from outer to inner side of the membrane.

Explanation:

We know the electric field ( $\vec{E}$ ) is given by $\vec{E} = - \nabla V$ , 'V' being the potential.

In 1-D, it can be written as

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

where 'd' is the separation of space in between the potential difference is created.

Given, $V = 0.070~V~$ and the thickness of the cell membrane is $d = 8.0 \times 10^{-9}~m$ .

Therefore the created electric field through the cell membrane is

$E = \dfrac{0.07~V}{8 \times 10^{-9}~m} = 8.75 \times 10^{6}~m~s^{-1}$

Determine the amount of potential energy of a 5N book that is 1.5m high on a shelf.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of book = 5 N

Height of shelf = 1.5 meter

Find:

Potential energy of book

Computation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration of gravity

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

Potential energy of book = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

We know that;

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

So,

Potential energy of book = 5 x 1.5

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

A 50-kg block is at rest on a 15o slope. A force of 250 N is acting on the block up the slope parallel to it. If the block does

Iteru [2.4K]

The minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.

<h3>Minimum coefficient of static friction</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F - μFs = 0

μFs = F

where;

μ is coefficient of static friction
Fs is frictional force
F is applied force

μ = F/Fs

μ = F/(mgcosθ)

μ = (250)/(50 x 9.8 x cos15)

μ = 0.53

Thus, the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.

Two celestial objects are in space: one with a mass of 8.22 x 109 kg and one with a mass of 1.38 x 108 kg. If they are separated

Artemon [7]

Answer: Two celestial objects are in space: one with a mass of 8.22 x 109 kg and one with a mass of 1.38 x 108 kg. If they are separated by a distance of 1.43 km, then, the magnitude of the force of attraction (in newtons) between the objects will be 52.9kN

Explanation: To find the answer we need to know more about the Newton's law of gravitation.

<h3>What is Newton's law of gravitation?</h3>

Gravitation is the force of attraction between any two bodies.
Every body in the universe attracts every other body with a force.
This force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between these two masses.
Mathematically we can expressed it as,

$F=\frac{GMm}{r^2} \\where, G=6.67*10^-11Nm^2kg^-2$

<h3>How to solve the problem?</h3>

Here, we have given with the data's,

$M=8.22*10^9kg\\m=1.38*10^8 kg\\r=1.43*10^3m$

Thus, the force of attraction between these two bodies will be,

$F=6.67*10^-11*\frac{8.22*10^9*1.38*10^8}{1.43*10^3} =52.9kN$

Thus, if two celestial objects are in space: one with a mass of 8.22 x 109 kg and one with a mass of 1.38 x 108 kg and, If they are separated by a distance of 1.43 km, then, the magnitude of the force of attraction (in newtons) between the objects will be 52.9kN.

Would a bond between potassium and iodine most likely be covalent or ionic? Explain your answer

Ugo [173]

A covalent bond is between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal. Potassium is a metal and iodine is a nonmetal, so their bond would most likely be ionic.
