A. Advanced new safety features that get everyone home at night.
Answer:
Impulse, |J| = 0.6716 kg-m/s
Force, F = 63.35 N
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the baseball, m = 0.146 kg
Initial speed of the ball, u = 15.3 m/s
Final speed of the ball, v = 10.7 m/s
To find,
(a) The magnitude of this impulse.
(b) The magnitude of the average force of the glass on the ball.
Solution,
(a) Impulse of an object is equal to the change in its momentum. It is given by :


J = -0.6716 kg-m/s
or
|J| = 0.6716 kg-m/s
(b) Another definition of impulse is given by the product of force and time of contact.
t = 0.0106 s



F = 63.35 N
Hence, this is the required solution.
Question:
What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium?
A) the electromagnetic force and gravity
B) outward pressure and the strong force
C) outward pressure and inward gravity
D) the strong force and gravity
E) the strong force and kinetic energy
Answer:
The correct answer is C) Outward Pressure and Inward gravity
Explanation:
Gravitational equilibrium is a balance between the inward pull of gravity and the outward push of internal gas pressure. It also refers to the condition of a star in which the weight of overlying layers at each point is balanced by the total pressure at that point.
As the weight increases in the lower layers of the sun, the pressure also increases to maintain this balance. So you find that the outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity thus creating an equilibrium.
Why is gravitational equilibrium important?
The simple answer is <u>balance. </u> If for instance the sun as a stable star (which has gravitational equilibrium) loses it's balance, it becomes highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts. These outbursts are caused by the very high radiation pressure at the star's upper layers, which blows significant portions of the matter at the "surface" into space during eruptions that may rage for several years. Of course such a condition is adverse to the existence and support of life.
