A 0.25 kg softball has a velocity of 13 m/s at an angle of 46° below the horizontal just before making contact with the bat. Wha

t is the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball while it is in contact with the bat if the ball leaves the bat with a velocity of (a)20 m/s, vertically downward, and (b)20 m/s, horizontally back toward the pitcher?

Answer:

a. 2.959kgm/s

b. 7.63kgm/s

Explanation:

We were given Mass= 0.25kg

Velocity = 13m/s

Angle = 46°

a) Along the x axis we have =

0- 0.25(13)cos(46°) = (- 2.26)i kgm/s

Along the y axis we have =

-0.25(20) +0.25(13)sin(46°) = (-1.91)j kgm/s

Magnitude of change in momentum

=√ i²+ j²

= √ (-2.26)²+ ( -1.91)²

= √8.7557

= 2.959 kgm/s

b.

Along the x axis

-0.25(20) - 0.25(13)cos(46°) = (-7.26)i kgm/s

Along the y axis

0 + 0.25(13)sin(46°) = (-2.34)j kgm/s

Magnitude of change in momentum

= √ i²+ j²

= √( -7.26)² + (-2.34)²

= √58.1832

= 7.63kgm/s

Which of the following types of radiation can penetrate through paper but not through wood?
andrew-mc [135]
The type of radiation that can penetrate through paper, but not through wood is called beta rays. Beta rays can penetrate paper and air, but a thin piece of alimony can stop it. Gamma can cut through anything except lead and many inches of concrete. Alpha can be stopped by paper and not penetrated. The correct answer is B.

What is true of transverse waves?
topjm [15]
<h2>Answer:D</h2>

Explanation:

Option A:

Surface waves are neither transverse nor longitudinal.They traverse perpendicularly or parallel to the wave's motion along the interface between different media.

Option B:

Transverse waves vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the propagation of the wave.

Option C:

Sound is a longitudinal wave.Not a transverse wave.

Option D:

Transverse waves don't require a medium for propagation.But they propagate in medium too.

Which statement best describes air pressure at high altitudes? (Points : 3)
WARRIOR [948]
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. this is because air pressure is caused by the gravity of earth, the gravity pulls on the air, compacting it and making a pressure.
But as we go higher, gravity decreases, causing less pull on the air resulting in less air pressure.<span />

Help with speed problems #1-3
-Dominant- [34]
1. Each plot represents the meters traveled by both the Hare and the Tortoise over a certain period of time (minutes).

2. The Tortoise lines show it lines is steadily increasing over a period of time. So as more time elapses the faster the tortoise becomes it travels more meters. The Tortoise line shows steady acceleration.

3. The Hare in the first 5 minutes had a rapid fast advancement up to 40 meters. But for the 5-20 mins. period the Hare did not move at all. Its speed stayed at the same place. But towards the end 20-25 mins. marks the Hare started moving again. At the end the Hare at first had a rapid acceleration but stopped for a long time then it sped up briefly.

If the resistance of an electric circuit is 12 ohms and the voltage in the circuit is 60 V, the current flowing through the circ
AnnyKZ [126]
The formula for calculating the current flowing in a circuit is:
I = V /R
Where:
I = current = ?
V = voltage = 60 V
R = resistance = 12 Ohms
I = V /R = 60/ 12 = 5
Therefore, the current flowing through the circuit is 5 A.
