Answer:

0 m/s

Explanation:

Let's take the direction in which the train is travelling as positive direction. Therefore:

- The velocity of the train with respect to earth is:

v_t = +15 m/s

- The ball is thrown with speed 15 m/s in the opposite direction, so in the frame of reference of the train, its velocity is

v_b = -15 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the baseball in the earth's reference frame will be the algebraic sum of these two velocities, so:

v_b' = v_t + v_b = +15 + (-15) = 0

Which type of central heating system is often used when heating many buildings from a central location?
Deffense [45]
Steam is often used as a central heating system when heating many buildings froma central location. So the correct option for the given question is option "D". Steam is actually generated ina single room or place mechanically or by useing fossil fuel or solar energy and then it is passed through pipelines to several rooms and buidings. This kind of system is mostly used when heating several rooms or building at once. Electric heaters are normally avoided as the cost of electricity is far higher than any other source of heating.

an electron and a 0.0320-kg bullet each have a velocity of magnitude 510 m/s, accurate to within 0.0100%. within what lower limi
MArishka [77]

for this we apply, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

it states that physical variables like position and momentum, can never simultaneously know both variables at the same moment.

the formula is,

Δp * Δx = h/4π

m(e).Δv * Δx = h/4π

by rearranging,

Δx = h / 4π * m(e).Δv

Δx = (6.63*10^-34) / 4 * 3.142 * 9.11*10^-31 * 5.10*10^-2

Δx = 6.63*10^-34 / 583.9 X 10 ⁻³¹

Δx = 0.011 X 10⁻³

for the bullet

Δx = (6.63*10^-34) / 4 * 3.142 * 0.032*10^-31 * 5.10*10^-2

Δx = 6.63*10^-34 /2.05

Δx =3.23 X 10⁻³² m

therefore, we can say that the lower limits are   0.011 X 10⁻³  m for the electron and  3.23 X 10⁻³² m   for the bullet

How does the gravitational pull of the blue supergiants impact the direction of your star?
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Blue supergiants represent a slower burning phase in the death of a massive star. Due to core nuclear reactions being slightly slower, the star contracts and since very similar energy is coming from a much smaller area (photosphere) then the star's surface becomes much hotter.

Explanation:

I know this may not be the answer youre looking for, but hopefully this can help somehow!

Is a process that modifies light waves so they vibrate in a single plane
madam [21]

The process you're fishing for is "polarization", but that's a

misleading description.

Polarization doesn't do anything to change the light waves. 

It simply filters out (absorbs, as with a polarizing filter) the

light waves that aren't vibrating in the desired plane, and

allows only those that are to pass.

The intensity of a light beam is always reduced after

polarizing it, because much (most) of the original light

has been removed.

A laser light source may be thought of as an exception,

since everything coming out of the laser is polarized.

A ball is released from the top of a hill. How fast is the ball going when it reaches the base of the hill? Approximate g as 10
irina [24]
First I’ll show you this standard derivation using conservation of energy:
Pi=Kf,
mgh = 1/2 m v^2,
V = sqrt(2gh)
P is initial potential energy, K is final kinetic, m is mass of object, h is height from stopping point, v is final velocity.
In this case the height difference for the hill is 2-0.5=1.5 m. Thus the ball is moving at sqrt(2(10)(1.5))=
5.477 m/s.
