To catch a fast-moving ball, you extend your hand forward before contact with the ball and let it ride backward in the direction

of the ball's motion. Doing this reduces the force of contact on your hand principally because the Group of answer choices force of contact is reduced relative velocity is less time of contact is increased time of contact is decreased none of these

Answer:

C: time of contact is increased

Explanation:

When a ball is falling from height, it maintains the same mass but velocity may change depending on the conditions in that environment.

Now, to catch the ball on your palm, you need to find a way to reduce the momentum of the ball upon hitting your hand.

Now, to reduce the momentum, we need to apply impulse.

This is because we know that;

Impulse(I) = F × t = change in momentum (m(v - u))

Thus;

I = Ft

F = I/t

We are told that extending the hand reduces the force of contact on your hand.

Thus;

For F which is the force to be reduced, the denominator (t) has to be increased.

Thus, the correct answer is that time of contact is increased

B - speed and direction are combined in another quantity, called velocity. It can be thought of as its speed in a particular direction. Speed is the corresponding scalar quantity, because it does not have a direction.

Consider an isolated system, by which we mean a system free of external forces. If the sum of the particle energies in the syste
Airida [17]

Answer:

The system's potential energy is -147 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy = 147 J

We know that,

System is isolated and it is free from external forces.

So, the work done by the external forces on the system should be equal to zero.

W=0

We need to calculate the system's potential energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

\Delta U=W-\Delta E

Put the value into the formula

\Delta U=0-147

\Delta U=-147\ J

Hence, The system's potential energy is -147 J.

Calculate the equivalent of 20 degrees Celsius in degrees Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
alekssr [168]

Answer:

68 °F, 293.15 K

Explanation:

Fahrenheit, Kelvin and Celsius are the different scales of temperature in which temperature is measured.

Given : T = 20°C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

<u>T = (20 + 273.15) K = 293.15 K </u>

The conversion of T( °C) to T(F) is shown below:

T (°F) = (T (°C) × 9/5) + 32

So,

<u>T (°F) = (20 × 9/5) + 32 = 68 °F</u>
