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.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

Vi = 10 m/s

Vf = 40 m/s

a = 3 m/s^2

Formula

a = (vf - vi) /t              Substitute the givens into this formuls

Solution

3 = (40 - 10) / t          Multiply both sides by t

3*t = t(40 - 10)/t        Combine. Cancel t's on the right

3*t = 30                     Divide by 3

3t/3 = 30 / 3

Answer: t = 10 seconds.

What happens to infrared radiation when it comes to contact wih a shiny suface
Ksivusya [100]

If a surface looks "shiny" to you, that's because it reflects all
or most of the visible light that hits it.  That doesn't always mean
that the same surface reflects other, non-visible wavelengths of
light.  Infrared radiation may also reflect off of it, and probably
does.  But you can't be sure just because it's visibly shiny.

How do radios work?
ycow [4]

Answer:

radios work when electrons are speeding up and dow the attena, patters structure and shape make music pleasing to hear. (more info below)

Explanation:

a radio works when electrons are speeding up and down the antenna, sending out electromagnetic waves. Radiation waves travel through the air at the speed of light. When the radio waves reach the antenna, the electrons vibrate within the antenna and reproduce the initial signal. to make music pleasing to hear it has to have patterns, structure, shape.

hope this helped!
