How can a gas become a good conductor? Simpler answers would be helpful.

A gas has to become ionisied in order to become a conductor. It must have a chain reaction in which atoms in it became unstable, in which they loose stabile electronic configuration. In order for a gas to become a conductor, it must have free particles, and it can happen only in ionisied gas.

A person strikes a ball with a bat. The temperature of the ball increases by 0.06ᵒC. What accounts for the increase?

marusya05 [52]

The increase in the average kinetic energy of the ball causes the increase in the temperature of the ball.

Kinetic energy of a particle is directly proportional to its temperature.

A ball initially at rest acquires kinetic energy when an external force is applied to it. As the person strikes the ball with a bat, the ball gains momentum which increases its kinetic energy of the ball.

Temperature on the other hand, is the measure of the average kinetic energy of a particle. Consequently, as the kinetic energy of the ball increases, the temperature of the ball increases as well.

Thus, we can conclude that the increase in the average kinetic energy of the ball causes the increase in the temperature of the ball.

2. An airplane traveling north at 220. meters per second encounters a 50.0-meters-per-second crosswind

Alex777 [14]

The resultant speed of the plane is (3) 226 m/s

Why?

We can calculate the resultant speed of the plane by using the Pythagorean Theorem since both speeds are perpendicular (forming a right triangle).

So, calculating we have:

$ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{VerticalSpeed^{2}+HorizontalSpeed^{2}}\\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{(220\frac{m}{s})^{2}+50\frac{m}{s})^{2}$

$ResulntantSpeed=\sqrt{48400\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }+2500\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } } \\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{50900\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }}=226\frac{m}{s}$

Hence, we have that the resultant speed of the plane is (3) 226 m/s

If a car is accelerating downhill under a net force 3674 N , what additional force would cause the car to have a constant veloci

Semenov [28]

Answer:

For the car to move with constant velocity the additional force required is $F__{dg} }= -3674 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The net force of the car is $F_{net} = 3674 \ N$

Generally the total force acting on the car is the net force plus the force due to gravity acting in direction of the car (Let denote it as $F__{dg}$ )
