Answer:

<h3>1.03684m</h3>

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g where

R is the distance moves in horizontal direction = 18.4m

H is the height

U is the velocity of the baseball = 40m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute the given parameters into the formula and calculate H as shown;

18.4 = 40√2H/9.8

18.4/40 = √2H/9.8

0.46 = √2H/9.8

square both sides;

(0.46)² = (√2H/9.8)²

0.2116 = 2H/9.8

2H = 9.8*0.2116

2H = 2.07368

H = 2.07368/2

H = 1.03684m

Hence the ball is 1.03684m below the launch height when it reached home plate.

How much heat is evolved when 1234 g of water condenses to a liquid at 100.°c?
lbvjy [14]
During the phase transition vapour --> liquid water, the temperature of the water does not change; the molecules of water release heat and the amounf of heat released is equal to
Q=mL_e
where
m is the mass of the water
L_e is the latent heat of evaporation.

For water, the latent heat of evaporation is L=2257 kJ/kg, while the mass of the water is
m=1234 g=1.234 kg

so, the amount of heat released in the process is
Q=mL_e = (1.234 kg)(2257 kJ/kg)=2785 kJ

Starting from rest, a 6.79 kg block slides 2.82 m down a rough 20.7 ◦ incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the b
Veronika [31]

Answer:

23.52092 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 6.79 kg

s = Sliding distance = 2.82 m

\theta = Angle of slide = 20.7°

\mu = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.425

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Work done by the force of gravity is given by

W=mgsin\theta\\\Rightarrow W=6.79\times 9.8\times sin20.7\\\Rightarrow W=23.52092\ J

The work done by the force of gravity is 23.52092 J

Describe the difference between the currents that exist in the wires leading to a capacitor when these wires are connected to (a
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation: In DC circuit, the current will flow for a short time, which is required to charge the capacitor. Once you switch it on, it spikes and the gradually decreases to almost zero (0) as the capacitor becomes fully charged.

In an AC circuit, the circuit acts as if the current is flowing throw the plates whereas is not actually flowing. The circuit acts like the AC is flowing through the capacitor.

Assume the equation x 5 At3 1 Bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having
igomit [66]

Answer:

(a) A = m/s^3, B = m/s.

(b) dx/dt = m/s.

Explanation:

(a)

x = At^3 + Bt\\m = As^3 + Bs\\m = (\frac{m}{s^3})s^3 + (\frac{m}{s})s

Therefore, the dimension of A is m/s^3, and of B is m/s in order to satisfy the above equation.

(b) \frac{dx}{dt} = 3At^2 + B = 3(\frac{m}{s^3})s^2 + \frac{m}{s} = m/s

This makes sense, because the position function has a unit of 'm'. The derivative of the position function is velocity, and its unit is m/s.
