<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 particle with a charge of − 5.10 nC is moving in a uniform magnetic field of B⃗ =−( 1.20 T )k^. The magnetic force on the part
marta [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge q=-5.10nC

Magnetic field B= -1.2T k

And the magnetic force

F =−( 3.30×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j

Let the velocity be V(xi + yj + zk)

Then, the force is given as

Note i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k. j×i=-k

j×k=i. k×j=-i

k×i=j. i×k=-j

F= q(v×B)

−( 3.30×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j =

q(xi + yj + zk) × -1.2k

−( 3.30×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( -1.2x i×k - 1.2y j×k - 1.2z k×k)

−( 3.30×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( 1.2xj - 1.2y i )

−( 3.30×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( -1.2y i + 1.2x j)

So comparing comparing coefficients

let compare x axis component

-( 3.30×10−7N )i=-1.2qy i

−3.30×10−7N = -1.2qy

y= -3.3×10^-7/-1.2q

y= -3.3×10^-7/-1.2×-5.10×10^-9)

y=-53.92m/s

Let compare y-axisaxis

7.6×10−7N j = 1.2qx j

7.6×10−7N = 1.2qx

x= 7.6×10^-7/-1.2q

x= 7.6×10^-7/1.2×-5.10×10^-9)

x=-124.18m/s

a. Then, the velocity of the x component is x= -124.18m/s

b. Also, the velocity component of the y axis is =-53.92m/s

c. We will compute

V•F

V=-124.18i -53.92j

F=−( 3.30×10−7 N )i+( 7.60×10−7 N )j

Note

i.j=j.i=0. Also i.i = j.j =1

V•F is

(-124.18i-53.92j)•−(3.30×10−7N)i+(7.60×10−7 N )j =

4.1×10^-5 - 4.1×10^-5=0

V•F=0

d. Angle between V and F

V•F=|V||F|Cosx

0=|V||F|Cos

Cosx=0

x= arccos(0)

x=90°

Since the dot product is zero, from vectors , if the dot product of two vectors is zero, then the vectors are perpendicular to each other

PLEASE HELP ME IM ON A TIMER
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Displacement: 6.71 m, Direction: 63.4 degrees north of east

Explanation:

In the attached image we can aprecciate each one of the movements of the parade. Let's say that the parade started from the origin (point (0,0)) then it moves to the east 4 blocks it means now the parade is located at point (4,0).

Then the parade went to the south three blocks, so it moves to the coordinate (4,-3). After this the parade went to the west one block so the new coordinate point is (3, -3).

And finally the movement of the 0 parade was 9 blocks to the north. It means the final point is now (0,9) - (3,-3) = (3,6)

And the displacement will be defined by the folliwing vector operation:

A (0,0) = oi + 0j\\F (3,6) = 3i + 6 j\\Displacement vector = (3-0)i + (6-0)j = 3i + 6j

We know that the magnitude of the displacement vector is defined by the phytagoras theorem

Displacement = \sqrt{(3)^2+ (6)^2} \\Displacement = 6.70

And the angle will be defined by:

tan(beta)=3/6

beta = tan^-1(6/3)

beta = 63.43°

Item 4 Which conditions produce the smallest and largest ocean waves? Choose the two correct answers.
Darya [45]

Answer:

strong winds that blow for a long time over a great distance

weak winds that blow for short periods of time with a short fetch

Explanation:

When the winds are weak and blow for short periods, we experience the smallest ocean waves but when there are strong winds over a longer duration, the largest ocean waves are seen. Therefore, the conditions to produce the smallest and largest ocean waves are strong winds that blow for a long time over a great distance and weak winds that blow for short periods of time with a short fetch.

If Bert the Bat travels East at 200 meters in 10 seconds, what is his velocity?
dexar [7]

Answer:

20m/s due east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Displacement eastward  = 200m

Time  = 10s

Unknown:

Velocity  = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the displacement divided by time;

    Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

 Velocity  = \frac{200}{10}    = 20m/s due east

In the ENGR 10 lab (E391), there are 50 long light bulbs (P=100 W) and 30 regular bulbs (P=60 W). How much energy is consumed li
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Total energy saving will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

We have given there are 50 long light bulbs of power 100 W so total power of 50 bulb = 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

30 bulbs are of power 60 W

So total power of 30 bulbs = 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

Total power of 80 bulbs = 1.8+5 = 6.8 KW

Total time = 3 hour

We know that energy E=power\times time=6.8\times 3=20.4KWH

Now power of each CFL bulb = 25 W

So power of 80 bulbs = 80×25 = 2000 W = 2 KW

Energy of 80 bulbs = 2×3 = 6 KWH

So total energy saving = 6.8-6 = 0.8 KWH
