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 will a reflected light wave do?
iragen [17]

Answer:

Reflection of Light. When light waves are incident on a smooth, flat surface, they reflect away from the surface at the same angle as they arrive. ... Regardless of whether light is acting as particles or waves, however, the result of reflection is the same.

A solid cube of side 5cm has a mass of 250g. What is its density in kgm ??​
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

5kgm

Explanation:

convert cm to m and g to kg

250/1000=0.25kg

5/1000=0.05m

then find the density

density=mass/volume

=0.25kg/0.05m

=5kgm

Water is flowing in a pipe with a varying cross-sectional area, and at all points the water completely fills the pipe. At point
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The fluids speed at a) 0.105\,m^{2}  and b) 0.047\,m^{2} are 2.33\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}  and 5.21\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} respectively

c) Th volume of water the pipe discharges is: 882\,m^{3}  

Explanation:

To solve a) and b) we should use flow continuity for ideal fluids:

\Delta Q=0(1)

With Q the flux of water, but Q is Av using this on (1) we have:

A_{2}v_{2}-A_{1}v_{1}=0 (2)

With A the cross sectional areas and v the velocities of the fluid.

a) Here, we use that point 2 has a cross-sectional area equal to A_{2}=0.105\,m^{2}, so now we can solve (2) for v_{2}:

v_{2}=\frac{A_{1}v_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{(0.070)(3.5)}{0.105}\approx2.33\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

b) Here we use point 2 as A_{2}=0.047\,m^{2}:

v_{2}=\frac{A_{1}v_{1}}{A_{2}}=\frac{(0.070)(3.5)}{0.047}\approx5.21\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

c) Here we need to know that in this case the flow is the volume of water that passes a cross-sectional area per unit time, this is Q=\frac{V}{t}, so we can write:

A_{1}v_{1}=\frac{V}{t}, solving for V:

V=A_{1}v_{1}t=(0.070m^{2})(3.5\frac{m}{s})(3600s)=882\,m^{3}

The potential energy of a particle as a function of position will be given as U(x) = A x2 + B x + C, where U will be in joules w
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

F = - 2 A x - B

Explanation:

The force and potential energy are related by the expression

      F = - dU / dx i ^ -dU / dy j ^ - dU / dz k ^

Where i ^, j ^, k ^ are the unit vectors on the x and z axis

The potential they give us is

     U (x) = A x² + B x + C

Let's calculate the derivatives

    dU / dx = A 2x + B + 0

The other derivatives are zero because the potential does not depend on these variables.

Let's calculate the strength

      F = - 2 A x - B

A barge of mass 5.00 ×104 kg is pulled along the Erie Canal by two mules, walking along towpaths parallel to the canal on either
boyakko [2]

Answer:  219,344.5 j

Explanation:

from the question we have the following parameters

mass of barge (m) = 5 x 10^4 kg

angle of ropes (θ) = 45 degrees

force by each mule (F1) = 1.10 kN = 1100 N

force by each mule (F2) = 1.10 kN = 1100 N

distance (s) = 141 m

work done by the mules = force x cos θ x distance

since we are calculating the force of both mules we have to both mules before we can use in the equation

force = 1100 + 1100 = 2200 N

work done =  2200 x cos (45) x 141

work done = 219,344.5 j
