A pitcher throws a softball toward home plate. When the ball hits the catcher’s mitt, its horizontal velocity is 32 meters/secon

d. The softball’s velocity goes to 0 meters/second in 0.8 seconds when caught. If the softball has a mass of 0.2 kilograms, what’s the force of the impact? Use F = ma, where . The force of the impact is newtons.

Answer: I just took the test on Plato and the correct answer is 8

Explanation:

To calculate the force of impact F, first lets calculate the acceleration a of the ball:

a=v/t where v is the velocity of the ball and t is time

a=32/0.8=40 m/s²

To get the force F we need the Newtons second law:

F=m*a where m is the mass of the ball and a is the acceleration.

F=m*a= 0.2*40 = 8 N

So the impact force is F= 8 N.

What would be the magnitude of the electric field 0.75 m from a 0.63 C master charge and what would be the force on a 0.50 C tes

bagirrra123 [75]

The magnitude of the electric field on the master charge is 1.008 x 10¹⁰ N/C, and the force on the test charge is 5.04 x 10⁹ N.

<h3>Electric field on the master charge</h3>

E = kq/r²

where;

q is magnitude of master charge
r is distance of separation
k is Coulomb's constant

E = (9 x 10⁹ x 0.63)/(0.75²)

E = 1.008 x 10¹⁰ N/C

<h3>Force on the test charge</h3>

F = Eq

where;

E is electric field
q is the test charge

F = (1.008 x 10¹⁰) x (0.5)

F = 5.04 x 10⁹ N

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field on the master charge is 1.008 x 10¹⁰ N/C, and the force on the test charge is 5.04 x 10⁹ N.

Two insulated copper wires of similar overall diameter have very different interiors. One wire possesses a solid core of copper,

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a

Solid Wire $I = 0.01237 \ A$

Stranded Wire $I_2 = 0.00978 \ A$

b

Solid Wire $R = 0.0149 \ \Omega$

Stranded Wire $R_1 = 0.0189 \ \Omega$

Explanation:

Considering the first question

From the question we are told that

The radius of the first wire is $r_1 = 1.53 mm = 0.0015 \ m$

The radius of each strand is $r_0 = 0.306 \ mm = 0.000306 \ m$

The current density in both wires is $J = 1750 \ A/m^2$

Considering the first wire

The cross-sectional area of the first wire is

$A = \pi r^2$

= > $A = 3.142 * (0.0015)^2$

= > $A = 7.0695 *10^{-6} \ m^2$

Generally the current in the first wire is

$I = J*A$

=> $I = 1750*7.0695 *10^{-6}$

=> $I = 0.01237 \ A$

Considering the second wire wire

The cross-sectional area of the second wire is

$A_1 = 19 * \pi r^2$

=> $A_1 = 19 *3.142 * (0.000306)^2$

=> $A_1 = 5.5899 *10^{-6} \ m^2$

Generally the current is

$I_2 = J * A_1$

=> $I_2 = 1750 * 5.5899 *10^{-6}$

=> $I_2 = 0.00978 \ A$

Considering question two

From the question we are told that

Resistivity is $\rho = 1.69* 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m$

The length of each wire is $l = 6.25 \ m$

Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as

$R = \frac{\rho * l }{A}$

=> $R = \frac{ 1.69* 10^{-8} * 6.25 }{ 7.0695 *10^{-6} }$

=> $R = 0.0149 \ \Omega$

Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as

$R_1 = \frac{\rho * l }{A_1}$

=> $R_1 = \frac{ 1.69* 10^{-8} * 6.25 }{5.5899 *10^{-6} }$

=> $R_1 = 0.0189 \ \Omega$

If 20 beats are produced within one second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves traveli

NeTakaya

Answer:

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz

Explanation:

When two waves with different frequency travelling in the same medium meet each other, they produce an interference pattern called beat.
<em><u>The frequency of the beat produced is equivalent to </u></em><em><u>the difference between the individual frequencies of the two waves involved.</u></em>
<em><u>Therefore; in this case since the frequency of the beat is 20 Hz, that is from 20 beats per second.</u></em>
We need to find a pair from the choices whose frequency difference is 20 Hz.
This happens to be choice D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz, that is 42 Hz - 22 Hz = 20 Hz

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

b)

c) v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

Wₓ = m a

W sin θ = m a

a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

θ' = 9/2 θ

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

Emf = K = ½ m v²

Em₀ = Emf

g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))
