Answer:

When you exert a force on a baseball, there exists an equal and opposite force on the ball therefore, the ball will accelerate in opposite direction.

Explanation:

When you hit a ball with baseball bat, the bat exerts a great force on the ball which causes the ball to accelerate in the opposite direction. It is to be noted that the mass of bat is much greater than mass of ball but the acceleration of ball is also greater than the acceleration of the bat so both bat and ball almost exert same magnitude of force but in opposite direction and as a result both bat and ball accelerate in opposite direction, the deciding factor is of course the relative force applied by the batter and the bowler.

What is the definition of the word amplitude
qwelly [4]

Explanation:

Amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path. ... Waves are generated by vibrating sources, their amplitude being proportional to the amplitude of the source.

A ball is thrown into the air by a baby alien on a planet in the system of Alpha Centauri with a velocity of 27 ft/s. Its height
Ahat [919]

Answer:

V_{3.01}=-93.2m/s

V_{3.005}=-93.1m/s

V_{3.002}=-93.04m/s

V_{3.001}=-93.02m/s

V_{3}=-93m/s

Explanation:

To calculate average velocity we need the position for both instants t0 and t1.

Now we will proceed to calculate all the positions we need:

Y_{3}=-99m/s

Y_{3.01}=-99.932m/s

Y_{3.005}=-99.4655m/s

Y_{3.002}=-99.18608m/s

Y_{3.001}=-99.09302m/s

Replacing these values into the formula for average velocity:

V_{3-3.01}=\frac{Y_{3.01}-Y_{3}}{3.01-3}=-93.2m/s

V_{3-3.005}=\frac{Y_{3.005}-Y_{3}}{3.005-3}=-93.1m/s

V_{3-3.002}=\frac{Y_{3.002}-Y_{3}}{3.005-3}=-93.04m/s

V_{3-3.001}=\frac{Y_{3.001}-Y_{3}}{3.001-3}=-93.02m/s

To know the actual velocity, we derive the position and we get:

V=27-40t = -93m/s

The energy required to dislodge electrons from cesium metal via the photoelectric effect is 207 kJ/mol . What wavelength (in nm)
ki77a [65]

Answer:

So wavelength in nm will be \lambda =0.956\times 10^{-19}nm    

Explanation:

We have given that the energy = 207 KJ/mol =207\times 10^3j/mol

Speed of light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

Plank's constant h=6.6\times 10^{-34}J-s

According to plank's rule energy of the photon is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

207\times 10^3=\frac{6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda }

\lambda =0.956\times 10^{-28}m

So wavelength in nm will be \lambda =0.956\times 10^{-19}nm

The index of refraction for red light in water is 1.331 and that for blue light is 1.340. A ray of white light enters the water
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) 47.08°

(b) 47.50°

Explanation:

Angle of incidence  = 78.9°

<u>For blue light : </u>

Using Snell's law as:

\frac {sin\theta_2}{sin\theta_1}=\frac {n_1}{n_2}

Where,  

Θ₁ is the angle of incidence

Θ₂ is the angle of refraction

n₂ is the refractive index for blue light which is 1.340

n₁ is the refractive index of air which is 1

So,  

\frac {sin\theta_2}{sin{78.9}^0}=\frac {1}{1.340}

{sin\theta_2}=0.7323

Angle of refraction for blue light = sin⁻¹ 0.7323 = 47.08°.

<u>For red light : </u>

Using Snell's law as:

\frac {sin\theta_2}{sin\theta_1}=\frac {n_1}{n_2}

Where,  

Θ₁ is the angle of incidence

Θ₂ is the angle of refraction

n₂ is the refractive index for red light which is 1.331

n₁ is the refractive index of air which is 1

So,  

\frac {sin\theta_2}{sin{78.9}^0}=\frac {1}{1.331}

{sin\theta_2}=0.7373

Angle of refraction for red light = sin⁻¹ 0.7373 = 47.50°.
