What is the kinetic energy of a baseball moving at a speed of 40 m/s if the baseball has mass of 0.15 kg?

2 answers:

5 0

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 Mass (kg) * velocity squared (m/s)

KE = 1/2mV^2

KE = 1/2(0.15 kg)(40 m/s)^2

The answer is 120 joules.

0.5mv^2 > 0.5*0.15*40*40=120J

Which term is defined by the force that moving, charged particles exert on one another?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Electromagnetic force

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravity: it is the force that is exerted between any objects with mass. It is the weakest of all forces, so it is only relevant at planetary scales. It is always attractive, and it has an infinite range.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between charged objects and between magnets (it is responsible for electric fields and magnetic fields). It is the 2nd strongest force, and it is the force that holds atoms in a molecule together. It can be attractive or repulsive, and it has an infinite range.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the strongest of all forces. It is responsible for holding the nucleons together inside the nucleus, and it is attractive. It has a very limited range ( $10^{-15}m$ ), so it is relevant only at very small scales

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for radioactive decays and neutrino interactions. It also has a very short range ( $10^{-18} m$

Looking at all these definitions, we see that the term that defines the force that acts between charged particles is the electromagnetic force.

The ______ creates currents in the atmosphere and the hydrosphere.

padilas [110]

B. The solar energy is responsible for the currents being made in the atmosphese and the hydrosphere. It creates a convection current in the planet that maintains the flow of the air and the water in it. That's why you experience changes in temperature on the air during daytime and night, as well as varying currents on the seaside depending on the time of the day/night.

A 85.0kg man and a 65, 0kg woman are riding a Ferris wheel with a radius of 20.0m. What is the Ferris wheels tangential velocity

zvonat [6]

Answer:

The Ferris wheel's tangential (linear) velocity if the net centripetal force on the woman is 115 N is 3.92 m/s.

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's 2nd Law to help solve this problem.
