Which has more KE a baseball traveling at 50 mph or a baseball travelling at 100 mph? Explain.

1 answer:

6 0

A baseball traveling at 100 mph has more kinetic energy than a baseball traveling at 50 mph because the kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity. Since the baseballs should have the same mass, the velocity is what will determine which ball has more kinetic energy. Since the 100 mph baseball has a higher velocity than the 50 mph baseball, it has more kinetic energy.

The length of the assembly decreases by 0.006 in. when an axial a- force is applied by means of rigid end plates. Determine

Triss [41]

Answer:

(a) The magnitude of the applied force is (0.0001524k) Newton

(b) Corresponding stress in the steel core = (0.0001524k/area) Newton per meter square

Explanation:

(a) From Hookes law of elasticity,

Force applied = force constant (k) × compression

compression = 0.006 in = 0.006 × 0.0254 = 0.0001524 meter

Force applied = k × 0.0001524 = (0.0001524k) Newton

(b) Stress = Force applied (Newton)/area of steel core (meter square) = (0.0001524k/area) Newton per meter square

What is the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium with another system made up of water and steam at one atmosphere of p

Evgen [1.6K]

Full Question:

What is the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium with another system made up of water and steam at one atmosphere of pressure?

A) 0°F

B) 273 K

C) 0 K

D) 100°C

E) 273°C

Answer:

The correction Option is D) 100°C

Explanation:

The temperature above is referred to as the critical point.

it is the highest temperature and pressure at which water (which has three phases - liquid, solid, and gas) can exist in vapor/liquid equilibrium. If the temperature goes higher than 100 degrees celsius, it cannot remain is liquid form regardless of what the pressure is at that point.

There is also a condition under which water can exist in its three forms: that is

- Ice (solid)

- Liquid (fluid)

- Gas (vapor)

That state is called <em>triple point. </em>The conditions necessary for that to occur are:

273.1600 K (0.0100 °C; 32.0180 °F) as temperature and

611.657 pascals (6.11657 mbar; 0.00603659 atm) as pressure

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high pop-up. If the ball remains in the air for 4.02 s, how high above the point where i

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

d = 19.796m

Explanation:

Since the ball is in the air for 4.02 seconds, the ball should reach the maximum point from the ground in half the total time, therefore, t=2.01s to reach maximum height. At the maximum height, the velocity in the y-direction is 0.

So we know t=2.01, vi=0, g=a=9.8m/s and we are solving for d.

Next, you look for a kinematic equation that has these parameters and the one you should choose is:

$d=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Now by substituting values in, we get

$d=(0\frac{m}{s})*(2.01s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(2.01)^2$

d = 19.796m

4. A family leaves from New York City and is flying to Los Angles which is 2800mi away. It takes

Blizzard [7]

The average speed of the whole travel is equal to <u>400 mph</u>.

Why?

From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).

We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}+distance_{3}}{time_{1}+time{2}+time_{3}}$

Now, substituting and calculating, we have:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{1400mi+0mi+1400mi}{3.25h+1h+2.75h}$

$AverageSpeed=\frac{2800mi}{7h}=400mph$

Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.

Have a nice day!

Suppose that the centripetal force acting on an object in circular motion were doubled to a new value, and the object remained i

Lilit [14]

Explanation:

Centripetal force is mass times centripetal acceleration:

F = m v² / r

If force is doubled while mass and radius are held constant, then velocity will increase.

2F = m u² / r

2 m v² / r = m u² / r

2 v² = u²

u = v√2

So the velocity increases by a factor of √2.
