Why is the air drag on a baseball different than it would be for a smooth ball with no stitches? How does this apply to the desi

Answer:

The stitches and dimples around a baseball  and a golf ball respectively, disturbs the air drag on the balls once they are in motion, allowing the them to travel more easily.

Explanation:

The stitches on a baseball disturbs the air drag on the ball when the ball is in motion, allowing the ball to travel more easily. Depending on the orientation of the ball in flight, the drag changes as the flow is disturbed by the stitches.  

A smooth ball with no stitches or dimples has more air drag that opposes the motion.

A golf ball is smooth ball with dimples to create a thin turbulent boundary layer of air that clings to the ball's surface. This allows the smoothly flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little farther around the back side of the ball, thereby decreasing the size of the wake, and allowing the ball to travel more easily.

two negative charges that are both -3.0 C push each other apart with a force of 19.2 N how far apart are the charges
Hoochie [10]
The electrostatic force between two charges q1 and q2 is given by
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where k_e =8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant and r is the distance between the two charges.

If we use F=19.2 N and q1=q2=-3.0 C, we can find the value of r, the  distance between the two charges by re-arranging the previous formula:
r= \sqrt{k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{F} }= \sqrt{ 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} \frac{(-3.0C)^2}{19.2 N} } =6.49 \cdot 10^4 m=64.9 km

During a football game, a receiver has just caught a pass and is standing still. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a vel
zmey [24]

Answer:

Mass of receiver is 92 kg        

Explanation:

We have given mass of tackler m_1=100kg

Let the mass of receiver is m_2kg

When tackler moving alone velocity is v_i=4.8 m/sec

And when tackler and receiver is together velocity is v_f = 2.5 m/sec

So from conservation of momentum

m_1v_i=(m_1+m_2)v_f

100\times 4.8=(100+m_2)\times 2.5

2.5m_2+250=480

2.5m_2=230

m_2=92kg

So mass of receiver is 92 kg
