A couple consists of two parallel forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in sense and do not share a line of action. ... For example, the forces that two hands apply to turn a steering wheel are often (or should be) a couple. Each hand grips the wheel at points on opposite sides of the shaft.

Answer:

Two equal and opposite parallel forces not acting along the same line, form a couple. A couple is always needed to produce the rotation.

For example, turning a key in a lock and turning a steering wheel.

A flat horizontal surface with an area of 518 cm^2 is inside a uniform electric field of 1.33 x 10^4 N/C. The angle between the

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: 576.48 N*m^2/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric flux through the any surface we have to take into account the scalar product between the electric field vector and the normal vector to the surface.

So we have:

ФE= E*A= 1.33 * 10^4*0.0518* cos (33.2°)= 576.48 N*m^2/C

A pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 143 g horizontally at a speed of 38.8 m/s (87 mi/h). The hitter's bat is in contact w

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

F = −10093.41 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a baseball, m = 143 g = 0.143 kg

Initial speed of the baseball, u = +38.8 m/s

The hitter's bat is in contact with the ball for 1.20 ms and then travels straight back to the pitcher's mound at a speed of 45.9 m/s, v = -45.9 m/s

We need to find the average force exerted on the ball by the bat. So, Force is given by :

$F=ma$

a is acceleration

$F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.143\times (-45.9-(38.8))}{1.2\times 10^{-3}}\\\\F=-10093.41\ N$

So, the average force exerted on the ball by the bat has a magnitude of 10093.41 N.

Answer:

Not 100% sure but if I'm right its 15 min.

Explanation: 1 mile is equal to 5380 feet, 26400 ÷ 5380 = 5, 75 ÷ 5 = 15
