5.2m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of baseball = 0.15kg

Momentum of baseball = 0.78kgm/s

Unknown:

Speed of baseball = ?

Solution:

The momentum of the baseball is a function of the product of the mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity:

        Momentum = mass x velocity

 Since the speed of the ball is unknown:

           Velocity  =  \frac{momentum }{mass}

                           = \frac{0.78}{0.15}

                           = 5.2m/s

The speed of the baseball before it lands is 5.2m/s

To lower the voltage from a "120 V" outlet, what is used (first, at least) in most situations
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

B. Transformer

Explanation:

A transformer is a device that is used to either raise or lower voltages and currents in an electrical circuit. In modern electrical distribution systems, transformers are used to boost voltage levels so as to decrease line losses during transmission. It basically trades voltage for current in a circuit, while not affecting the total electrical power. This means it takes high-voltage electricity with a small current and changes it into low-voltage electricity with a large current, or vice versa.

A proton is projected toward a fixed nucleus of charge Ze with velocity vo. Initially the two particles are very far apart. When
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The value is R_f =  \frac{4}{5}  R

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  initial velocity of the  proton is v_o

    At a distance R from the nucleus the velocity is  v_1 =  \frac{1}{2}  v_o

    The  velocity considered is  v_2 =  \frac{1}{4}  v_o

Generally considering from initial position to a position of  distance R  from the nucleus

 Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that  

       \Delta  K  =  \Delta P

Here \Delta K is the change in kinetic energy from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

      \Delta K  =  K__{R}} -  K_i

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_1^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * (\frac{1}{2} * v_o )^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{4} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

And  \Delta  P is the change in electric potential energy  from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

          \Delta P =  P_f - P_i

Here  P_i is zero because the electric potential energy at the initial stage is  zero  so

             \Delta P =  k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}  - 0

So

           \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{4} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}  - 0

=>        \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *v_0^2 [ \frac{1}{4} -1 ]  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}

=>        - \frac{3}{8}  *  m  *v_0^2  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R} ---(1 )

Generally considering from initial position to a position of  distance R_f  from the nucleus

Here R_f represented the distance of the proton from the nucleus where the velocity is  \frac{1}{4} v_o

     Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that  

       \Delta  K_f  =  \Delta P_f

Here \Delta K is the change in kinetic energy from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus  , this is mathematically represented as

      \Delta K_f   =  K_f -  K_i

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_2^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * (\frac{1}{4} * v_o )^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{16} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

And  \Delta  P is the change in electric potential energy  from initial position to a  position of  distance R_f  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

          \Delta P_f  =  P_f - P_i

Here  P_i is zero because the electric potential energy at the initial stage is  zero  so

             \Delta P_f  =  k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }  - 0      

So

          \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{8} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }

=>        \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *v_o^2 [-\frac{15}{16} ]  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }

=>        - \frac{15}{32}  *  m  *v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } ---(2)

Divide equation 2  by equation 1

              \frac{- \frac{15}{32}  *  m  *v_o^2 }{- \frac{3}{8}  *  m  *v_0^2  } }   =  \frac{k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } }{k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R } }}

=>           -\frac{15}{32 } *  -\frac{8}{3}   =  \frac{R}{R_f}

=>           \frac{5}{4}  =  \frac{R}{R_f}

=>             R_f =  \frac{4}{5}  R

Explain why it is dangerous to jump from a fast moving train
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

When you jump off a train, you jump off a certain height and your downwards (vertical) velocity is zero. But your forward (horizontal) velocity is not. You will hit the ground on split second with your horizontal velocity practically the same as the train.

Explanation:

you be in serious injury.

PLEASE HELPPPPPPPP<br> What is the average velocity of a train that goes 86 km in 1.3 hours?
olga_2 [115]
The answer is:

V = d/t d = 86 km t = 1.3 hrs

V = 86 km/ 1.3 hrs

V = 66.15 km/ hrs

I hope this helps!!
