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.

A hot air balloon is on the ground, 200 feet from an observer. The pilot decides to ascend at 100 ft/min. How fast is the angle
liq [111]

Answer:

0.0031792338 rad/s

Explanation:

\theta = Angle of elevation

y = Height of balloon

Using trigonometry

tan\theta=y\dfrac{y}{200}\\\Rightarrow y=200tan\theta

Differentiating with respect to t we get

\dfrac{dy}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}200tan\theta\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dt}=200sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\\\Rightarrow 100=200sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{100}{200sec^2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{2}cos^2\theta

Now, with the base at 200 ft and height at 2500 ft

The hypotenuse is

h=\sqrt{200^2+2500^2}\\\Rightarrow h=2507.98\ ft

Now y = 2500 ft

cos\theta=\dfrac{200}{h}\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\dfrac{200}{2507.98}=0.07974

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.07974^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.0031792338\ rad/s

The angle is changing at 0.0031792338 rad/s

When a roller coaster gets to the bottom of a descent, describe the energy transfers and changes to energy stores that happen if
Feliz [49]

Answer:

its B

Explanation:

It's B & A at the same time because A. a roller coaster uses brakes to slow down and stop. B is the most reasonable answer. Because all roller coasters go up and over a second time over the hill, but they also slow down. But go with B.

Como surgiu a capoeira?
xz_007 [3.2K]
La capoeira se desarrolló en Brasil, derivada de las tradiciones traídas a través del Océano Atlántico por africanos esclavizados y alimentadas por el ardiente deseo de libertad. Pronto se practicó ampliamente en las plantaciones como un medio para romper los lazos de la esclavitud, tanto física como mentalmente.

A real spring does not oscillate forever. Instead, it eventually comes to a stop. Does this violate the law of conservation of e
ss7ja [257]
It does not violate the law of conservation of energy. The oscillation stops when the energy is lost and the energy is lost because it becomes heat that is created by the air resistance and many other forces found in the surrounding of the oscillating spring.
