The correct answer is D. sound

A mechanical wave is one where oscillations of matter occur and energy is transferred through a medium, which is what occurs with sound waves.

What is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.5 kg and hits the cathers glove with a force of 25n
ioda
Acceleration is found if we have the force and mass. 

With the following equation: F = ma, we can find the missing values. 

F = 25n
M = 0.5 kg
a = ?

a = f/m
a = 25/0.5
a = 50

a = 50 m/s

So, the acceleration is 50 m/s^2

Answer:

K.E = 100 J

Final P.E = 100 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of any object can be given by the following formula:

K.E = (\frac{1}{2})mv^{2}

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy

m = mass of ball = 2 kg

v = speed of ball

Initially, v = 10 m/s. Therefore, the initial K.E is given as:

K.E = (\frac{1}{2})(2\ kg)(10\ m/s)^{2}

<u>K.E = 100 J</u>

Now, at the highest point the K.E of the ball becomes zero. because the ball stops for a moment at the highest point and its velocity becomes zero. So, from Law of Conservation of energy:

Initial K.E + Initial P.E = Final K.E + Final P.E

Initial P.E is also zero due to zero height initially.

K.E + 0 = 0 + Final P.E

<u>Final P.E = 100 J</u>

sweet [91]

Answer:

h = 18.75 m

Now when it will reach at point B then its normal force is just equal to ZERO

N_B = 0

F_n = 1.72 \times 10^4

Explanation:

Since we need to cross both the loops so least speed at the bottom must be

v = \sqrt{5 R g}

also by energy conservation this is gained by initial potential energy

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

v = \sqrt{2gh}

so we will have

\sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{5Rg}

now we have

h = \frac{5R}{2}

here we have

R = 7.5 m

so we have

h = \frac{5(7.5)}{2}

h = 18.75 m

Now when it will reach at point B then its normal force is just equal to ZERO

N_B = 0

now when it reach point C then the speed will be

mgh - mg(2R_c) = \frac{1}{2]mv_c^2

v_c^2 = 2g(h - 2R_c)

v_c = 13.1 m/s

now normal force at point C is given as

F_n = \frac{mv_c^2}{R_c} - mg

F_n = \frac{700\times 13.1^2}{5} - (700 \times 9.8)

F_n = 1.72 \times 10^4
