agasfer [191]3 years ago
5 0

The answer is axial precession. Axial precession refers to the very slow motion of the Earth’s axis, which almost requires twenty-six thousand (26,000) years to complete a full rotation. This Axial Precession is caused by the effects of gravitational pull from the Sun and the Moon towards the Earth.

A bat strikes a 0.145-kg baseball. Just before impact, the ball is traveling horizontally to the right at 60.0 m/s , and it leav
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

F = -307.4 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the baseball, m = 0.145 kg

Initial speed of the baseball, u = 60 m/s

Final speed of the baseball, v=65\ cos(30)=56.29\ m/s

Time of contact, t=1.75\ ms=1.75\times 10^{-3}\ s

(a) It is assumed to find the horizontal component of average force. It is given by :

F=m\dfrac{v-u}{t}

F=0.145\dfrac{56.29-60}{1.75\times 10^{-3}}

F = -307.4 N

So, the horizontal component of average force is 307.4 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan
Nesterboy [21]

Answer;

The temperature change for the second pan will be lower compared to the temperature change of the first pan

Explanation;

-The quantity of heat is given by multiplying mass by specific heat and by temperature change.

That is; Q = mcΔT

This means; the quantity of heat depends on the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance and also the change in temperature.

-Maintaining the same quantity of heat, with another pan of the same mass and greater specific heat capacity would mean that the change in temperature would be much less lower.
