6. A 145-g baseball moving 30.5 m/s strikes a stationary 5.75-kg brick resting on small rollers so it moves without significant
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

momentum of baseball before collision

mass x velocity

= .145 x 30.5

= 4.4225 kg m /s

momentum of brick after collision

= 5.75 x 1.1

= 6.325 kg m/s

Applying conservation of momentum

4.4225 + 0 = .145 x v + 6.325 , v is velocity of baseball after collision.

v = - 13.12 m / s

b )

kinetic energy of baseball  before collision = 1/2 mv²

= .5 x .145 x 30.5²

= 67.44 J

Total kinetic energy before collision = 67.44 J

c )

kinetic energy of baseball after collision = 1/2 x .145 x 13.12²

= 12.48 J .

 kinetic energy of brick after collision

= .5 x 5.75 x 1.1²

= 3.48 J

Total kinetic energy after collision

= 15.96 J

A. Water has many unique properties. Identify a property of water and explain why this property makes water vital to living orga
rosijanka [135]

a) It can dissolve other substances and has high specific heat capacity.

b) Pressure is transferred equally in all directions

c) F=14*0.04/0.02=28 N

d) I'd expect that it will sink cause weight will pull it to the bottom

e) Because the buoyant force is stipulated by difference between pressures in the top and bottom surfaces of a body.

f) Because this force increases in denser liquids: F_b=\rho gV, where rho is density.

g) Q=Av, where v - speed, A - area. With the same flow rate v=Q/A, so larger area decreases speed and vice versa.

A 90.0-kg mail bag hangs by a vertical rope 3.5 m long. A postal worker then displaces the bag to a position 2.0 m sideways from
asambeis [7]

Answer:

615 N

Explanation:

If θ is the angle from vertical and T is the rope tension

θ = arcsin (2.0 / 3.5) = 34.85°

Summing vertical forces to zero

Tcosθ - mg = 0

T = 90.0(9.81) / cos34.85 = 1,075.85 N

Summing horizontal forces to zero

F - Tsinθ = 0

F = 1075.85sin34.85 = 1075.85(2.0/3.5) = 614.772... ≈ 615 N

Vector sum of 15 m, East and 9 m, West is 24 m, East. True False
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Because when you go through east

( +x axis ) then you go to west ( -x axis )

You will subtract -9 from +15

it's become +6

( I talk about the displacement not distance) ( West = - East )

I hope that it's a clear ") .

The atoms ,molecules,or compound present at the start of a chemical reaction that parcitipate in the reaction . which part of a
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The atoms ,molecules, or compound present at the start of a chemical reaction that parcitipate in the reaction are <u><em>the reactants.</em></u>

Explanation:

The chemical reaction is the way in which one substance reacts against another. So, a chemical reaction consists of the transformation of some substances into others, that is, the process of arranging atoms and bonds when chemical substances come into contact.

In a chemical reaction, the initial substances are called reactants, while the new substances obtained are called products.

So, <u><em>the atoms ,molecules, or compound present at the start of a chemical reaction that parcitipate in the reaction are the reactants.</em></u>
