Answer:

Let's say the pitcher is angry or just has a really heavy hand while throwing this ball, and now you have to catch it, otherwise it's going to ram into your face. When you put your hands up just in time to catch this ball, this is called impulse, or commonly expressed as a reflex. Depending on what kind of ball is being thrown, such as a golf ball, baseball, basketball, beach-ball, rubber-ball, baseball, etc. ... the weight of the ball itself is going to impact how much it i going to hurt when you catch it without any hand protection. However, if you're catching, let's say a baseball, with a padded glove, it is not going to hurt as bad as catching the baseball bare handed, because the padded glove has enough padding in it to create a barrier between the skin of your hand and the palm of the glove.

Luda [366]
  • Answer:

<em>12,25 km/h</em>

<em>≈ 3,4 m/s </em>

  • Explanation:

<em>v = d/t</em>

<em>= 12250m/h</em>

<em>= 12,25km/h</em>

<em>or</em>

<em>v = d/t</em>

<em>= 12250m/h</em>

<em>1h = 60m×60s = 3600s</em>

<em>= 12250m/3600s</em>

<em>≈ 3,4 m/s </em>

A 5 newton force and a 7 newton force act concurrently on a point. As the angle between the forces is increased from 0 to 180 th
Reika [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant decreases from A+B to A-B

Explanation:

The magnitude of the resultant of two vectors is given by

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2 +2AB cos \theta}

where

A is the magnitude of the first vector

B is the magnitude of the second vector

\theta is the angle between the directions of the two vectors

In the formula, A and B are constant, so the behaviour depends only on the function cos \theta. The value of cos \theta are:

- 1 (maximum) when the angle is 0, so the magnitude of the resultant in this case is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+2AB}=\sqrt{(A+B)^2}=A+B

- then it decreases, until it becomes 0 when the angle is 90 degrees, where the magnitude of the resultant is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+0}=\sqrt{A^2+B^2}

- then it becomes negative, and continues to decrease, until it reaches a value of -1 when the angle is 180 degrees, and the magnitude of the resultant is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2-2AB}=\sqrt{(A-B)^2}=A-B

A toy car accelerates from 3m/s to 5m/s in 5sec . what is the acceleration​
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

Because 3m/s is the initial velocity(u) and 5m/s is the final velocity(v) and time is 5 sec.

So, acceleration = v-u ÷ t

I'm confused

What are the characteristics of high energy waves?
sladkih [1.3K]
<span>The relationship between wavelength, frequency and energy of Electromagnetic Radiation is given by E = hf = hc/lamba -------(1) So from (1) there's a linear relationship between E and f. The higher the frequency, f, the higher the energy E. Also from (1) it is obvious that the lower the wavelength, lambda, the higher the energy, E. This means the answer is D.</span>
