If a baseball's velocity is increased to four times its original velocity, by what factor does its kinetic energy increase

jeyben [28]

Answer:

16 times

Explanation:

Original

KE(i) = 1/2mv²

After increasing

KE(f) = 1/2m(4v)²

KE(f) = 8mv²

KE(f)/KE(i) = 8 x 2 = 16

Four charges of equal magnitude q = 2.16 µC are situated as shown in the diagram below. If d = 0.88 m, find the electric potenti

Triss [41]

Answer:

The total potential (magnitude only) is 11045.45 V

Explanation:

Electric Potential

The total electric potential at location A is the sum of all four individual potentials produced by the charges, including the sign since the potential is a scalar magnitude that can be computed by

$\displaystyle V=\frac{kq}{r}$

Where k is the Coulomb's constant, q is the charge, and r is the distance from the charge. Let's find the potential of the rightmost charge:

$\displaystyle V_1=\frac{9\cdot 10^{9}\times -2.16\cdot 10^{-6}}{0.88}=-22090.91\ V$

The potential of the leftmost charge is exactly the same as the above because the charges and distances are identical

$V_2=-22090.91\ V$

The potential of the topmost charge is almost equal to the above computed, is only different in the sign:

$V_3=+22090.91\ V$

The bottom charge has double distance and the same charge, thus the potential's magnitude is half the others':

$\displaystyle V_4=\frac{9\cdot 10^{9}\times 2.16\cdot 10^{-6}}{1.76}=+11045.45 \ V$

The total electric potential in A is

$V=-22090.91\ V-22090.91\ V+22090.91\ V+11045.45 \ V$

$V=-11045.45 \ V$

The total potential (magnitude only) is 11045.45 V

The A string of a violin is a little too tightly stretched. Beats at 4.00 per second are heard when the string is sounded togeth

Basile [38]

Answer:

$T=2.5*10^{-3}s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Beat frequency $F_b=4$

Frequency $F=400Hz$

Generally the equation for Frequency of the violin is mathematically given by

$f_v=F_b+F$

$f_v=4+400Hz$

$f_v=404Hz$

Therefore the period of the violin string oscillations is

$T=\frac{1}{f_v}$

$T=\frac{1}{404}$

$T=2.5*10^{-3}s$

PLS HELP!!! A 1200-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationa

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

7200 kg.m/s

Explanation:

According the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal.

Using this principle, the sum of initial momentum will be given as p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity

Initial momentum

Mass of whale*initial velocity of whale + mass of seal*initial seal velocity

Since the seal is initially stationary, its velocity is zero. By substitution and taking right direction as positive

Initial momentum will be

1200*6+(280*0)=7200 kg.m/s

Since both initial and final momentum should be equal, hence the final momentum will also be 7200 kg.m/s
