A baseball bat hits a ball is an example of contact force.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Contact force is defined as those forces which are acting between two bodies by actually touch between two bodies.

In case of the book falling to ground, the force acting is the gravitational force. Gravitational force acts even when two bodies aren't in contact. So its a non contact force.

Similar is the condition of the leaf and ground where the gravitational force acts.

The magnetic force between the paper clip and the magnet is also non contact force, which acts even when two bodies aren't in contact.

But the bat hitting the ball is having direct contact between the two bodies, and their contact is what makes the ball fly off. So its a contact force.

As you tune your radio to a higher frequency, from 88.5 FM to 103.3 FM, the wavelength of the wave that you are tuning in
olga_2 [115]

the relation that relates the speed of wave, frequency of wave and wavelength is given as

wavelength = \frac{speed}{frequency}

the speed of wave in a medium remains constant. hence the wavelength is inversely related to the frequency of wave.

that means, as the frequency is increased, the wavelength decreases and vice versa.

hence the correct choice is

B decreases

6000 kg train moving 5 m/sec to east collides with 5000 kg train moving 3 m/sec to west. What is their velocity
Svetlanka [38]

The final velocity is 1.37 m/s east

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two trains must be conserved before and after the collision.

So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v

where:

m_1 = 6000 kg is the mass of the first train

u_1 = 5 m/s is the initial velocity of the first train (we take east as positive direction)

m_2 = 5000 kg is the mass of the second train

u_2 = -3 m/s is the initial velocity of the second train

v is the final combined velocity of the two trains

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(6000)(5)+(5000)(-3)}{6000+5000}=1.37 m/s

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is east.

Which statement accurately describes a relationship between parts of the
sammy [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

C. There are trillions of galaxies in the universe.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A. is wrong as nebulae are found inside galaxies and inside the universe, not inside stars.

B. is wrong because there are trillions of galaxies in the universe, not the latter.

D. The solar system consists of the eight planets, the Sun, comets, meteors, dwarf planets, and is inside the Milky Way galaxy and thus cannot have galaxies inside it.

Commercials for a toy bouncy ball advertise that it will bounce to a height that is greater than the
storchak [24]

Answer:

because energy will be lost due to friction, sound, and heat (arguably similar to friction) and ENERGY MUST STAY THE SAME so it is IMPOSSIBLE for the ball to bounce higher than when dropped!
