<h2>Option A is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Here velocity of ball and bat are in opposite direction.

Velocity of ball = 40 m/s

Velocity of bat = 18 m/s

Since they are in opposite direction relative velocity is given by,

           Relative velocity = 40 + 18 = 58 m/s

Distance to home plate = 18 m

We have

                Displacement = Velocity x Time

                           18 = 58 x Time

                          Time = 0.3 seconds

Option A is the correct answer.

a simple machine that combines two inclined planes and is used to split objects is called a . group of answer choices
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The answer is a wedge.

Explanation:

The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. It is used to separate bodies which are held together by large forces, e.g, splitting timber

M.A.= slant height of wedge/thickness of wedge.

Hence a long thin wedge has a higher mechanical advantage than a short thick one; or the smaller the angle theta between the slant heights, the greater the mechanical advantage.

If a bale of hay behind the target exerts a constant friction force, how much farther will your arrow burry itself into the hay
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The arrow will bury itself farther by 3S₁

Explanation:

<u />

lets assume; the Arrow shot by me has a speed twice the speed of the arrow fired by the younger shooter

Given that ; acceleration is constant , Frictional force is constant

                    A₂ =   A₁

Vf²₂ - Vi²₂ / 2s₂  = Vf₁² - Vi₁² / 2s₁ ---- ( 1 )

final velocities = 0

Initial velocities : Vi₂ = 2(Vi₁ )

Back to equation 1

0 - (2Vi₁ )² / 2s₂ =  0 - Vi₁² / 2s₁

hence :

s₂ = 4s₁

hence the Arrow shot by me will burry itself farther by :

s₂ - s₁ = 3s₁

<em>Note :  S1 = distance travelled by the arrow shot by the younger shooter</em>

Many meteorites appear to have formed very early in the solar system's history. How do these meteorites support our theory about
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The appearance and composition of meteorites is what we would expect if metal and rock condensed and increased as our theory suggests.

Explanation:

The planets and most of their satellites were formed by accretion of matter that accumulated around the largest pieces of the proto-nebula. After a chaotic succession of collisions, mergers and reconstruction processes, they acquired a size similar to the current one and moved until they were in the positions we know.

The area closest to the Sun was too warm to retain light materials. That is why the inner planets are small and rocky, while the outer ones are large and gaseous. The evolution of the Solar System has not stopped, but, after the initial chaos, most of the materials are now part of bodies located in more or less stable orbits.

Any theory that attempts to explain the formation of the Solar System should take into account that the Sun rotates slowly and only has 1 percent of the angular momentum, but it has 99.9% of its mass, while the planets have 99% of the angular momentum and only 0.1% of the mass. One of the explanations argues that, at first, the Sun was much colder; The density of its materials was slowing its rotation, while warming, until a certain balance was achieved.
