At baseball practice, Mason and Alfredo both picked up the same bat and neither would let go until one of them had it for himsel

f. Mason pulled the bat with
force of 15 newtons (N) while Alfredo pulled with a force of 20 newtons (N). Why did Alfredo end up with the bat?

A because the force was 5 N in Mason's direction

B. O because the net force was 5 N in Alfredo's direction

c. O because the net force was 15 N in Mason's direction

D.O because the net force was 20 N in Alfredo's direction

Answer:

Option B. O because the net force was 5 N in Alfredo's direction

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question given above, we shall determine the net force acting on the bat. This can be obtained as follow:

Force of pull by Mason (Fₘ) = 15 N

Force of pull by Alfredo (Fₐ) = 20 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = 20 – 15

Fₙ = 5 N in Alfredo's direction

From the calculation made above, we can see that the net force is 5N in Alfredo's direction. This is the reason why Alfredo end up having the bat.

If the value of the electric field in an electromagnetic wave were doubled then
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Electromagnetic wave are waves formed as a result of the oscillatory activities involving the electric and the magnetic field.

However in an Electromagnetic wave, the electric field and magnetic field carry equal amounts of energy and the magnitude of the electric field is directly proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field. This direct proportionality gives rise to the speed of light being the constant between the two fields.

When the electric field is doubled then an equal action is to be set for the magnetic field so it doesn’t deviate from its main functions and characteristics.

Consider a loop of wire with a resistor. In the same plane, (with switch S closed) a long wire has a current I flowing from left
Ulleksa [173]

Solution :

The given figure is a loop of a wire with a resistor.

When the switch S is closed for long time and is suddenly opened, the direction of the induced current can be find out by using the rule of right hand screw. According to the right hand screw rule, the direction of the magnetic field at the loop is in the direction that points outwards. The strength of the current rapidly decreases as it is switch off and the magnetic flux that is linked with the loop wire will also decrease.

According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current must be such $\text{that it opposes}$ the decrease in the magnetic flux.  It means the direction of the magnetic field must be outwards and also normal to the plane of the screen. The direction of the induced anti clockwise or from right to left in the resistance.

A 70 kg human sprinter can accelerate from rest to 10 m/s in 3.0 s. During the same time interval, a 30 kg greyhound can go from
ladessa [460]

Answer:

P_1 = 1166.7 Watt

P_2 = 2000 Watt

Explanation:

Average power for the human sprinter is given as

Power = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t}

so we have

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0}{\Delta t}

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2}(70)(10^2) - 0}{3}

P_1 = 1166.7 Watt

Average power for greyhound is given as

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0}{\Delta t}

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2}(30)(20^2) - 0}{3}

P_2 = 2000 Watt

Why do we tend to attribute others' negative behaviors to dispositions over situational factors?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Because you have a greater understanding of the mentality and conduct of individuals you care about, you are better able to understand their perspective and are more likely to recognize possible situational factors for their behavior.

How can you find the mass of a tissue box?
a_sh-v [17]

Explanation:

To find the volume of a box of Tissue (also known as a rectangular prism) just multiply the area of the base (length times width) by the height. The formula is V = l• w• h.
