We can use the textbook results for head-on elastic collisions to analyze the recoil of the Earth when a ball bounces off a wall

embedded in the Earth. Suppose a professional baseball pitcher hurls a baseball (m = 155 grams = 0.155 kg) with a speed of 103 miles per hour (vball = 45.3 m/s) at a wall, and the ball bounces back with little loss of kinetic energy.(a) What is the recoil speed of the Earth (M = 6multiply1024 kg)?

Answer:

Recoil velocity; v2 = 1.17 x 10^(-24) m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of baseball; m1 = 0.155 kg

Velocity of baseball; v1 = 45.3 m/s

Mass of earth; m2 = 6 x 10^(24) kg

Lets the recoil velocity be v2.

From conservation of momentum, initial momentum is equal to final momentum.

Thus,

m1•v1 = m2v2

Thus, v2 = m1•v1/m2

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

v2 = 0.155 x 45.3/(6 x 10^(24))

v2 = 1.17 x 10^(-24) m/s

Answer:

The explaination and attachment better portrays the answer. kindly check explaination.

Explanation:

To be able to solve for the kinetic energy and the recoil speed. Let have an understanding of those words.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. If an object is moving, it is said to have kinetic energy.

Please kindly check attachment for the detailed answer.

An AC adapter for a telephone answering machine uses a transformer to reduce the line voltage of 120 V to a voltage of 5.00 V. T

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

35

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial voltage, $V_1=120 V$

Final voltage, $V_2=5 V$

Number of tuns in primary coil of the transformer, $N_p=840$

Rms current, $I_{rms}=580mA=580\times 10^{-3} A$

$1 mA=10^{-3} A$

We have to find the number of turns are there on the secondary coil.

We know that

$\frac{N_s}{N_p}=\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

Using the formula

$\frac{N_s}{840}=\frac{5}{120}$

$N_s=\frac{5}{120}\times 840=35$

Hence, there are number of turns on the secondary coil=35

A 3kW oven supplied with 9kJ of energy. How many seconds can it be run for

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The energy consumption rate of the oven is
3 kW = 3000 W = 3000 J/s.

The amount of energy supplied is
9 kJ = 9000 J

The time that the oven will run is
$t= \frac{9000 \, J}{3000 \, J/s} = 3 \, s$
(9000 J)/(3000 J/s) = 3 s

Answer: 3 seconds

An object is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 3 feet per second. The relationship between the distance s it travels a

Vikki [24]

Answer:2 s

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity $u=3 ft/s$

distance travel $s=3t+16t^2$

time taken to travel 70 feet

$70=3t+16t^2$

$16t^2+3t-70=0$

using $x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ to get roots

$t=\frac{-3\pm \sqrt{3^2-4(16)(-70)}}{2\cdot 2}$

t=2 and -2.19

only feasible time is 2 s

thus it requires 2 s to cover 70 feet
