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).

What are the units, if any, of the particle in a box wavefunction. What does this mean?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

  • [\psi]= [Length^{-3/2}]
  • This means that the integral of the square modulus over the space is dimensionless.

Explanation:

We know that the square modulus of the wavefunction integrated over a volume gives us the probability of finding the particle in that volume. So the result of the integral

\int\limits^{x_f}_{x_0} \int\limits^{yf}_{y_0} \int\limits^{z_f}_{z_0} |\psi|^2 \, dz \,  dy \,  dx

must be dimensionless, as represents a probability.

As the differentials has units of length

[dx]=[dy]=[dz]=[Length]

for the integral to be dimensionless, the units of the square modulus of the wavefunction has to be:

[\psi]^2 = [Length^{-3}]

taking the square root this gives us :

[\psi] = [Length^{-3/2}]

How many Mars-sized planets can fit in Jupiter
Maru [420]

Answer:

You could put over six planets the size of Mars inside the Earth. The largest planet in our Solar System, Jupiter's size is astounding. Jupiter has a volume of 1.43 x 1015 cubic kilometers. To show what this number means, you could fit 1321 Earths inside of Jupiter
