A bullet has a mass of 8 grams and a muzzle velocity of 340m/sec. A baseball has a mass of 0.2kg and is thrown by the pitcher at

40m/sec. What is the momentum of the baseball? What is the momentum of the bullet?

Answer:

Momentum of bullet

$P = 2.72 kg m/s$

momentum of baseball

$P = 8 kg m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity

here we know that

mass of the bullet = 8 gram

velocity of bullet = 340 m/s

momentum of the bullet is given as

$P = mv$

$P = (\frac{8}{1000})(340)$

$P = 2.72 kg m/s$

Now we have

mass of baseball = 0.2 kg

velocity of baseball = 40 m/s[/tex]

momentum of baseball is given as

$P = (0.2)(40)$

$P = 8 kg m/s$

For metalloids on the periodic table, how do the group number and the period number relate?

Im guessing it's (a) since the numbers go in chronological order and you read the periodic table left to right

Chapter 16, Problem 63. A person is standing in a room at 18 ◦C. The exposed surface area and skin temperature of the person are

Juliette [100K]

Answer: $Q=248.011 W$

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of Room $T_{\infty }=18^{\circ}\approx 291 K$

Area of Person $A=1.7 m^2$

Temperature of skin $T=32^{\circ}\approx 305 K$

Heat transfer coefficient $h=5 W/m^2.k$

Emissivity of the skin and clothes $\epsilon =0.9$

$\Delta T=32-18=14^{\circ}$

Total rate of heat transfer=heat Transfer due to Radiation +heat transfer through convection

Heat transfer due radiation $Q_1=\epsilon \sigma A(T^4-T_{\infty }^4 )$

where $\sigma =stefan-boltzman\ constant$

$Q_1=0.9\times 5.687\times 10^{-8}\times 1.7\times (305^4-291^4)$

$Q_1=129.01 W$

Heat Transfer due to convection is given by

$Q_2=hA(\Delta T)$

$Q_2=5\times 1.7\times 14=119 W$

$Q=Q_1+Q_2$

$Q=129.01+119=248.011 W$

Why does a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude

inna [77]

Answer:

According to your question although I think an object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nevertheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards,therefore a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude.

When the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them?

Llana [10]

If the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them increases by a factor 4.

In fact, the magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by:
$F= k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges

We see that the magnitude of the force F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance r. Therefore, if the radius is halved:
$r'= \frac{r}{2}$
the magnitude of the force changes as follows:
$F'=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r'^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{( \frac{r}{2})^2 }=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{ \frac{r^2}{4} } =4k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=4 F$
so, the force increases by a factor 4.
