Physics
1 answer:
nata0808 [166]3 years ago
5 0
It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. ... When an atom is attracted to another atom because it has an unequal number of electrons and protons, the atom is called an ION. If the atom has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion, or ANION.

Why do baseball pitchers throw the ball at an angle that is slightly above the horizontal if they want the ball to reach at appr
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The angle above the horizontal at which the pitcher throws the ball determines the distance the ball travels before returning to the height at which it was thrown

Explanation:

The baseball is thrown as a projectile and the range, 'R', of the baseball which is the distance the baseball travels before the height above the ground returns to the initial height  is given given as follows;

R = \dfrac{u^2 \cdot sin(2\cdot \theta )}{g}

Where;

R = The range of the baseball = The horizontal distance away from the pitcher the ball reaches

u = The initial velocity with which the baseball was thrown

θ = The angle above horizontal a baseball pitcher throws the ball

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

From the the equation, when θ = 0, sin(θ) = sin(0) = 0 and the ball does not cover any horizontal distance before going lower than the height at which it was thrown, therefore, for the ball to travel further, the angle of launch, θ has to be larger than 0.

Which term defines the amount of mechanical work an engine can do per unit of heat energy it uses? A. specific heat B. conductiv
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Efficiency

Explanation:

  • The amount of mechanical work an engine can do per unit of heat energy it uses is called its efficiency.
  • It is also defined as the output divided by the total electrical power consumed.
  • In terms of heat, efficiency of engine is given by :

\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_o}{Q_i}

Q_o\ and\ Q_i are output heat and input heat respectively.

Hence, the correct option is (d) "efficiency"
