We have the equation of motion v^2=u^2+2as, where v i the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and s is the displacement

Here final velocity, v = 40m/s

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Displacement s = 2 m

Substituting 40^2=0^2+2*a*2\\ \\ a=400m/s^2

So the baseball pitcher accelerates at 400m/s^2 to release a ball at 40 m/s.

Hurricane sandy produced some of the greatest destruction along the new jersey coast in communities situated along narrow strips
FrozenT [24]

The correct answer to fill in the blank would be:

“a barrier island”

Barrier islands are coastal landforms and a category of dune system that are remarkably even or lumpy areas of sand that was formed by wave and tidal actions that are parallel to the mainland coast. Due to this feature, there are no enough sand blockades to minimize the destruction by Hurricane Sandy.

A gas expands against a constant external pressure of 2.00 atm until its volume has increased from 6.00 to 10.00 L. During this
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)

W = 810.6 J

Explanation:

a.

Using first law of thermodynamics:

Q = ΔU + W

where,

Q = Heat Absorbed = 500 J

ΔU = Change in Internal Energy of Gas = ?

W = Work Done = PΔV =

P = Pressure = 2 atm = 202650 Pa

ΔV = Change in Volume = 10 L - 6 L = 4 L = 0.004 m³

Therefore,

Q = ΔU + PΔV

500 J = ΔU + (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)

ΔU = 500 J - 810.6 J

<u>ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)</u>

<u></u>

b.

The work done can be simply calculated as:

W = PΔV

W = (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)

<u>W = 810.6 J</u>

When sunlight strikes oil on the surface of water a variety of colors are observed what is the best explanation for this observa
klio [65]
Light waves are reflected from front and back surfaces of the thin films and constructive interference between the two reflected waves occurs in different places for different wavelengths. Light shining on the upper surface of the thin film with thickness t is partly reflected at the upper surface (path abc). Light transmitted from the upper surface is partly reflected at the lower surface (path abdef). The two reflected waves come together at point P on the retina of the eye. Depending on the phase relationship, they may interfere constructively or destructively. Different colors have different wavelengths, so the interference may be constructive for some colors and destructive for others.

An electric motor consumes 8.40 kJ of electrical energy in 1.00 min. Part A If one-third of this energy goes into heat and other
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The torque is 0.31 Nm.

Explanation:

Electrical energy, E = 8400 J

time, t = 1 min

Angular speed, w = 2900 rpm = 303.53 rad/s

efficiency = 2/3 of input power

The toque is given by  

P =\tau  w\\\\\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{E}{t}=\tau w\\\\\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{8400}{60}=\tau \times 303.53\\\\\tau =0.31 Nm

You're designing an airport.A plane that will use this airport must reach a speed of Vmin=100km/h(27.8m/s).It can accelerate at
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

As here it is given that

x = 150 m

a= 2 m/s^2

now initial speed of the plane must be zero as it start from rest

now we will use kinematics

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a x

v_f^2 - 0 = 2(2)(150)

v_f =\sqrt{600} = 24.5 m/s

so its final speed is maximum 24.5 m/s

so it will not reach to desired speed at the end of runway
