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.

Using the law of conservation of angular momentum, estimate how fast a collapsed stellar core would spin if its initial spin rat
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

\omega_{f} = 1000000\,\frac{rev}{day}

Explanation:

The law of conservation of angular momentum states that angular momentum remains constant when there is no external moment or forces applied to the system. Let assume that star can be modelled as an sphere, then:

\frac{2}{5}\cdot M\cdot R_{o}^{2} \cdot \omega_{o} = \frac{2}{5}\cdot M\cdot R_{f}^{2} \cdot \omega_{f}

The final angular speed is:

\omega_{f} = \omega_{o}\cdot (\frac{R_{o}}{R_{f}})^{2}

\omega_{f} = (1\,\frac{rev}{day} )\cdot (\frac{10000\,km}{10\,km} )^{2}

\omega_{f} = 1000000\,\frac{rev}{day}

An ideal transformer has 75 turns in the primary coil and n turns in the secondary coil. a 120 v rms 60hz ac voltage source is c
denpristay [2]

think you messed up the symbol for resistor as resistors are measured in ohms where the symbol used for ohms is Greek omega

solving for average power in secondary coil:

average power =(current rms)^2*resistance⇒with a little algebra:

current rms=(√average power/resistance)

current rms=√160W/10Ω

current rms=4amps.

average power is also equal to current rms*voltage rms

with some algebra we can solve for voltage in the secondary wire:

voltage rms= average power/ current rms

voltage rms= 160W/4A

voltage rms=40Volts

now that we have voltage in the soecondary we can solve for the amount of turns in the secondary: Voltage secondary/voltage primary=number of turns in secondary/ number of turns in primary. using some algerbra we can solve for number of turns in secondary: (Voltage secondary/voltage primary)*number of turns in primary=number of turns in secondary

(40V/120V)*75turns=number of turns in secondary

number of turns in secondary=25turns
