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.

Which of these IS an example of balanced forces? A. a book on a shelf B. air rushing out of a balloon C. rolling over and fallin

babunello [35]

Forces are balanced when net force on the object is zero or the sum of all force on the object is zero.

For book kept on a shelf, the weight of the book in down direction is balanced by the normal force on the book by the shelf. hence the book kept on a shelf is an example of balanced force.

In case of air rushing out of balloon , the balloon experience a net force by the air coming out of it.

rolling over and falling off the bed , the object falls under gravity force.

a car speeding up accelerates. since it accelerates , it has net force on it.

Which object has the most gravitational potential energy?

Kipish [7]

Answer: An 8 kg book at a height of 3 m has the most gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the product of mass of object, height of object and gravitational field.

So, formula to calculate gravitational potential energy is as follows.

U = mgh

where,

m = mass of object

g = gravitational field = $9.81 m/s^{2}$

h = height of object

(A) m = 5 kg and h = 2m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 5 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 2 m\\= 98.1 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

(B) m = 8 kg and h = 2 m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 8 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 2 m\\= 156.96 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

(C) m = 8 kg and h = 3 m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 8 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 3 m\\= 235.44 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

(D) m = 5 kg and h = 3 m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 5 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 3 m\\= 147.15 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

Thus, we can conclude that an 8 kg book at a height of 3 m has the most gravitational potential energy.

Which statement best summarizes the central idea of “Applications of Newton’s Laws”?

Shkiper50 [21]

Newton's three forces, normal, tension and friction, are present in a surprising number of physical situations

Newton's Laws, that describe the relationship between an obejct and the forces acting upon it, apply in almost every physical situation, from quantum mechanics to electricity.

The correct answer is:

Newton’s laws can explain the forces that occur between objects every day

A capacitor with a capacitance of 50µf when connected to a battery of 400 V. The charge and energy stored on it is? a. 0.05 C an

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

c. 0.02 C and 4 J

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = CV................ Equation 1

Where Q = Charge, C = Capacitance of the capacitor, V = Voltage.

From the question,

Given: C = 50 μF = 50×10⁻⁶ F, V = 400 V

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = (50×10⁻⁶)(400)

Q = 0.02 C.

Also Applying

E = CV²/2............. Equation 2

Where E = Energy stored.

Therefore,

E = (50×10⁻⁶ )(400²)/2

E = 4 J

Hence the right option is c. 0.02 C and 4 J
