1 Which statement BEST describes how a golf club does "work" on a golf ball? (A) When the club hits the ball the club transfers

all of its kinetic energy to the ball. (B) All of the kinetic energy from the club is transferred to the ball as they both move through the air. (C) Some of the kinetic energy from the golf club is transferred to the ball and some transforms into sound and heat, but the total energy remains the same. (D) The golf club loses kinetic energy when it hits the ball and the ball gains kinetic energy from the air as it travels.

Answer:

(C) Some of the kinetic energy from the golf club is transferred to the ball and some transforms into sound and heat, but the total energy remains the same.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of a closed system is constant.

In this problem, the main type of energy involved is the kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion; mathematically, it is calculated as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

In this problem, at the beginning, the golf club is moving, therefore it has kinetic energy.

Then, the club hits the ball, which is put in motion: therefore, the ball has acquired kinetic energy as well. This energy has been transferred from the golf club, which has therefore lost part of its energy.

At the same time, sound and heat are produced in the collision between the golf club and the ball. Since the total energy must be conserved, this means that the initial kinetic energy of the golf club must be equal to the sum of ball's kinetic energy + sound energy + heat energy released in the collision.

How does increasing the distance between charged objects affect the electric force between them? the electric force increases be
konstantin123 [22]

the electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force

Explanation:

The electric force between two objects is given by

F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the distance between the two objects

As we can see from the formula, the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: so, when the distance between the object increases, the magnitude of the force decreases.

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 49.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1.1397 Nm

Explanation:

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth.

If the muscle generates a force

F =  49.5 N and r = 2.65 cm , then the torque is equal to rF

we see that r = 2.65 cm = 0.0265 m

therefore

torque = 0.0265 x 49.5

= 1.1397 Nm

Air bags are designed to deploy in 10 ms. Given that the air bags expand 20 cm as they deploy, estimate the acceleration of the
joja [24]

As it is given that the air bag deploy in time

t = 10 ms = 0.010 s

total distance moved by the front face of the bag

d = 20 cm = 0.20 m

Now we will use kinematics to find the acceleration

d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

0.20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a*0.010^2

0.20 = 5 * 10^{-5}* a

a = 4000 m/s^2

now as we know that

g = 10 m/s^2

so we have

a = 400g

so the acceleration is 400g for the front surface of balloon

Two samples of aluminum foil, 27 grams and 54 grams, are cut out from a roll. Which of the following properties is different for
Delicious77 [7]
Before answering this question, you must know the concept between extensive and intensive property. The extensive property does not depend on the amount of substance (like mass), which is the opposite of intensive properties. From the given choices, the rest are extensive properties except for <em>amount of matter</em>. Hence, that is the answer.
