The ball because the Kinetic Energy transfers from the bat to the ball, increasing the movement and acceleration of the ball because of the Kinetic Energy transferred from the origin force (The bat)

Answer: The ball.

Explanation: Right before the impact, the bat will have a bigger acceleration than the ball (assuming that the ball is trowed softly), and after the impact, there will be some energy of the bat transferred to the ball. As the ball has a lot less mass than the bat, it is "easily" accelerated:

Remember that the second Newton's law says that:

F = m*a

So, after the impact, the ball has a greater acceleration than the bat (Also, if the bat had more acceleration than the ball, it will "push" the ball, but you can see that the ball "escapes" to the bat after the initial impact).

When we kept the Earth's mass the same, but shrank its size, we saw that had an effect on its escape speed. Albert Einstein used
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The escape velocity is the velocity needed by any object to overcome the gravitational force of the planet on which it’s present. Now we know that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the planet and inversely proportional to the distance of the object from the center of planet.

If we keep the mass of earth constant and decrease the size of the earth than this will decrease the distance between the object and the center of the earth and thus the gravitational force that will act on the body will increase substantially which will in turn increase the value of the escape velocity.

The value of escape velocity will keep on increasing as the size of the earth will shrink till it reaches to a point when the value of escape velocity becomes more than the speed of light and since it’s impossible to travel with a speed greater than the speed of light and therefore at this point it will become impossible for a spacecraft to escape the earth.

an electromagnetic wave propagates in a vacuum in the x-direction. In what direction does the electric field oscilate
sweet [91]

Answer:

<em>The electric field  can either oscillates in the z-direction, or the y-direction, but must oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field.</em>

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that have an oscillating magnetic and electric field, that oscillates perpendicularly to one another. Electromagnetic waves are propagated in a direction perpendicular to both the electric and the magnetic field. If the wave is propagated in the x-direction, then the electric field can either oscillate in the y-direction, or the z-direction but must oscillate perpendicularly to both the the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field, and the direction of propagation of the wave.

if you put a pencil in a cup of water, it looks as if it is broken and larger in the water. This is because light waves
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

When light enters from air to water i.e. it is moving from rarer to denser medium, it changes its original path as there is a change of speed of light and deflects itself towards the normal. This is known as the refraction of light and this is why a pencil in a cup of water looks as if it is broken and larger.
