Answer:

The Position and speed of an object is very important to describe the motion of a moving body as it directly affects the rate at which the moving body approaches the given point.

Newton’s second law of motion addresses the relationship between what two variables that influence the force on a body?

IgorC [24]

Newton’s Second Law concerns the generation of force based on an object’s mass and acceleration, as described by the equation F=ma.

Hope this helps!

Explain what parallel medium boundaries do to the path of the wave after it travels through both boundaries. (air and water)

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The boundaries cause the waves to change direction an effect called refraction.

Explanation:

When a wave crosses a boundary between different materials, the speed of the wave and its wavelength changes.When passing from air to water the two properties (speed and wavelength) decreases, and the wave is observed to change direction as it crosses the boundary between the two material.The bending of the wave is called refraction.

A rocket ship is accelerating at 200 m/s2, its mas is 135,000,000 kg. What is the force generated by this acceleration?

Rina8888 [55]

Acceleration does NOT "generate" force. Acceleration NEEDS force to make it happen. Without force ... provided by something else ... acceleration can't happen.

The force NEEDED to accelerate a mass with a certain acceleration is

Force needed = (mass) times (acceleration)

For the rocket ship in the question,

Force = (135,000,000 kg) times (200 m/s²)

Force = (135,000,000 x 200) kg-m/s²

Force = 27 Giga-Newtons (27,000,000,000 Newtons)

The gas-generator cycle F-1 rocket engine, developed in the US by Rocketdyne in the late 1950s, was used in the Saturn V rocket, the main launch vehicle of NASA's Apollo moon lander program . Five F-1 engines were used in the first stage of each Saturn V.

==> The thrust of each F-1 engine at full throttle is 7,770 kilo-Newtons.

It would take 3,475 of these F-1 rocket engines, running full-throttle, to provide the force calculated in the answer to this question. If you didn't have 3,475 F-1 rocket engines, then you couldn't accelerate 135,000,000 kg at 200 m/s².

(And by the way ... the mass of each F-1 engine is 8,400 kg. So 3,475 engines alone account for 22% of the mass you're trying to accelerate. And don't even get me started about the mass of the FUEL you'd need to carry.)

If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/sm/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55.5 m/sm/s in the opposite d

Yuliya22 [10]

Incomplete question as the mass of baseball is missing.I have assume 0.2kg mass of baseball.So complete question is:

A baseball has mass 0.2 kg.If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/sm/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55.5 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, find the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball and of the impulse applied to it by the bat.

Answer:

ΔP=20 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=0.2 kg

Initial speed Vi=-44.5m/s

Final speed Vf=55.5 m/s

Required

Change in momentum ΔP

Solution

First we take the batted balls velocity as the final velocity and its direction is the positive direction and we take the pitched balls velocity as the initial velocity and so its direction will be negative direction.So we have:

$v_{i}=-44.5m/s\\v_{f}=55.5m/s$

Now we need to find the initial momentum

$P_{1}=m*v_{i}$

Substitute the given values

$P_{1}=(0.2kg)(-44.5m/s)\\P_{1}=-8.9kg.m/s$

Now for final momentum

$P_{2}=mv_{f}\\P_{2}=(0.2kg)(55.5m/s)\\P_{2}=11.1kg.m/s$

So the change in momentum is given as:

ΔP=P₂-P₁

$=[(11.1kg.m/s)-(-8.9kg.m/s)]\\=20kg.m/s$

ΔP=20 kg.m/s

The amount of diffraction that a sound wave undergoes depends on

BigorU [14]

The amount of diffraction of sound waves depends on the medium the sound wave travels to and the frequency. Diffraction happens as soon as it has been out of the source.
