Answer:

Oort Cloud

Explanation:

  • Hundreds of millions of comet nuclei forming a spherical region that surrounds the solar system is called Oort cloud.
  • The Oort cloud revolves at tens of thousands of the distance of the earth from the sun.
  • Comets are the condensed water and dust particles that orbit around the sun with inward helix leaving behind a tail of vapours and vaporize completely as they get closer to the sun during their revolution around it.
  • They have a nebulous appearance and extremely elongated orbits.

If the pitched ball was traveling 77 mph before stanton's bat hit it and 120 mph after his bat hit it, by what amount did the sp
Mice21 [21]

here we will use the concept of Newton's III law

as per Newton's III law the impulse given to the ball is same as the impulse lost by the bat

So here we will say

impulse gain by the ball = impulse lost by the bat

m_1(v_f - v_i) = m_2(\Delta v)

given that

m_1 = 5 ounce

m_2 = 32 ounce

For ball the change in speed will be

v_f - v_i = (120 - 77)mph

now from above equation

5\times (120 - 77) = 32 \times \Delta v

\Delta v = 6.72 mph

so speed of bat will decrease by 6.72 mph

Ashkon throws a basketball across the court to his teammate. The ball has 57 J of potential energy and 61 J of kinetic energy. W
Gwar [14]
The total mechanical energy of the ball is the sum of its potential energy U and its kinetic energy K, therefore:
E=U+K=57 J+61 J=118 J
so, the total mechanical energy of the basketball is 118 J.

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Because heat is a path function or the energy in transit.

Explanation:

  • It is not correct to say that a body contains a certain amount of heat because the heat is a path function and not a property of the system. It is the energy in transit which can be encountered only when it crosses the system boundary.
  • Heat is the energy in transit of a matter which flows by the virtue of temperature difference. The heat energy in a body is stored in the form of kinetic energy of the molecules which gets converted into heat that we know as the responsible factor for the rise in temperature usually.

Answer:

500000N/m²

5250N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Depth(H) = 50m

Density of water  = 1000kg/m³

Acceleration of free fall  = 10m/s

Unknown:

Pressure the water exerts on the diver = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body. In fluids, pressure is the product of density, gravity and height

  Pressure in fluids  = Density x acceleration due to gravity x height

Input the variables and solve;

    Pressure in fluids  = 1000 x 10 x 50  = 500000N/m²

B.

width of window = 150mm

height of window = 70mm

Force water exerts on the window = ?

To solve this problem;

         Pressure  = \frac{Force}{Area}

Area of the window = width x height  = 150 x 10⁻³ x 70 x 10⁻³

                                                           = 1.05 x 10 ⁻²m²

Force  = pressure x area

Input the variables;

             = 500000N/m²   x  1.05 x 10 ⁻²m²

             = 5250N
