a 0.15 kg baseball has a momentum of 0.78 kg*m/s just before it lands on the ground. What was the ball's speed just before landi

vovangra [49]

5.2m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of baseball = 0.15kg

Momentum of baseball = 0.78kgm/s

Unknown:

Speed of baseball = ?

Solution:

The momentum of the baseball is a function of the product of the mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Since the speed of the ball is unknown:

Velocity = $\frac{momentum }{mass}$

= $\frac{0.78}{0.15}$

= 5.2m/s

The speed of the baseball before it lands is 5.2m/s

The force of attraction between two oppositely charged pith is 5mx 10 to the -6th power newtons. If the charge on the two is 6.7

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

0.28 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Force (F) = 5×10¯⁶ N

Charge 1 (q₁) = 6.7×10¯⁹ C

Charge 2 (q₂) = 6.7×10¯⁹ C

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²C¯²

Distance apart (r) =?

Thus, the distance between the two charges can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂/r²

5×10¯⁶ = 9×10⁹ × 6.7×10¯⁹ × 6.7×10¯⁹/r²

5×10¯⁶ = 4.0401×10¯⁷ / r²

Cross multiply

5×10¯⁶ × r² = 4.0401×10¯⁷

Divide both side by 5×10¯⁶

r² = 4.0401×10¯⁷ / 5×10¯⁶

Take the square root of both side

r = √(4.0401×10¯⁷ / 5×10¯⁶)

r = 0.28 m

Therefore, the distance between the two charges is 0.28 m

a current of 250 amps is flowing through a copper wire with resistance of 2.09 x 10^4 ohms. what is the voltage

Dima020 [189]

V = I · R

Voltage = (current) · (Resistance)

Voltage = (250 A) · (2.09 x 10⁴)

Voltage = 5,225,000 volts .

I may be out of line here, but I'm pretty sure
that the resistance is 2.09 x 10⁻⁴ .
Then

Voltage = 0.05225 volt (not 5 million and something)

A force F with arrow applied to an object of mass m1 produces an acceleration of 3.10 m/s2. The same force applied to a second o

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

(a) The value of the ratio m₁/m₂ is 0.581

(b) the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

The acceleration of force applied to M₁, a₁ = 3.10 m/s²

The same force applied to M₂ has acceleration, a₂ = 1.80 m/s²

Let this force = F

According Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

(a) the value of the ratio m₁/m₂

since the applied force is same in both cases, M₁a₁ = M₂a₂

$\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{a_2}{a_1} \\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{1.8}{3.1} \\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2} = 0.581$

(b) the acceleration of m₁ and m₂ combined as one object under the action force F

F = ma

$a = \frac{F}{M} \\\\a = \frac{F}{m_1 + m_2} \\\\a = \frac{F}{0.581m_2 + m_2}\\\\a = \frac{F}{1.581m_2}$

$But, m_2 = \frac{F}{a_2} \\\\a = \frac{F}{1.581m_2} = \frac{F*a_2}{1.581F} \\\\a = \frac{a_2}{1.581} \\\\a = \frac{1.8}{1.581} = 1.139 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²
