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 uniformly charged conducting sphere of 1.3 m diameter has a surface charge density of 8.1 µc/m2. (a) find the net charge on th
8_murik_8 [283]
<span>The surface charge density = q/A So q = surface charge density x Area The surface area of a sphere of radius R is 4*Pi*R^2. R = d/2 where d is diameter. This leaves us with 1.3/2 = 0.65. Area = 4 * pie * (0.65)^2 = 5.30998. So the net charge q = 8.1 * 10^(-6) * 5.30998 = 42.47998 * 10^(-6) The Total electric flux = Q/e_0 where , 8.854 Ă— 10â’12, e_0 is permitivity of free space. So Flux = 42.47998 * 10^(-6) / 8.854 * 10(â’12) = 4.833 * 10^(-6 - (-12)) = 4.833 * 10^(6)</span>

butalik [34]
I believe the answer is 7.24 kJ.
From the equation ΔE = dW + dQ; where W is the work done on/by the system and Q is the heat the system absorbs/loses.
Therefore; ΔE = 72.4 kJ since the system has bot done any p-v work (dV= zero) and has absorbed heat.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

A. Mrŵ² = ųMg

Ŵ = (ųg/r)^½

B.

Ŵ =[ (g /r)* tan á]^½

Explanation:

T.v.= centrepetal force = mrŵ²

Where m = mass of block,

r = radius

Ŵ = angular momentum

On a horizontal axial banking frictional force supplies the Pentecostal force is numerically equal.

So there for

Mrŵ² = ųMg

Ŵ = (ųg/r)^½

g = Gravitational pull

ų = coefficient of friction.

B. The net external force equals the horizontal centerepital force if the angle à is ideal for the speed and radius then friction becomes negligible

So therefore

N *(sin á) = mrŵ² .....equ 1

Since the car does not slide the net vertical forces must be equal and opposite so therefore

N*(cos á) = mg.....equ 2

Where N is the reaction force of the car on the surface.

Equ 2 becomes N = mg/cos á

Substituting N into equation 1

mg*(sin á /cos á) =mrŵ²

Tan á = rŵ²/g

Ŵ =[ (g /r)* tan á]^½
