Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2.1 \ kilograms}}

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to motion. The formula 1/2 the product of mass and the squared velocity.

E_k=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

We know the baseball's kinetic energy is 105 Joules. It is also traveling at a velocity of 10 meters per second. `

First, convert the units of Joules to make unit cancellation easier later in the problem. 1 Joule (J) is equal to 1 kilogram square meter per square second (kg*m²/s²). The baseball's kinetic energy of 105 J is equal to 105 kg*m²/s².

Now we know 2 values:

  • E_k= 105 \ kg*m^2/s^2
  • v= 10 \ m/s

Substitute these values into the formula.

105 \ kg*m^2/s^2= \frac{1}{2} m (10 \ m/s)^2

Now we need to solve for m, the mass. Solve the exponent.

  • (10 m/s)²= 10 m/s * 10 m/s = 100 m²/s²

105 \ kg *m^2/s^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (100 \ m^2/s^2)

Multiply on the right side.

105 \ kg *m^2/s^2 =  m (\frac{1}{2} * 100 \ m^2/s^2)

105 \ kg *m^2/s^2 =  m (50 \ m^2/s^2)

The variable, m, is being multiplied by 50 square meters per square second. The opposite of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by that value.

\frac {105 \ kg *m^2/s^2 }{50 \ m^2/s^2}=  \frac{ m (50 \ m^2/s^2)}{50 \ m^2/s^2}

\frac {105 \ kg *m^2/s^2 }{50 \ m^2/s^2}= m

The units of square meter per square second will cancel out.

\frac {105 }{50} \ kg= m

2.1 \ kg=m

The mass of the baseball is <u>2.1 kilograms. </u>

Hi, can anyone write 5 or 4 paragraph about virus pls I rly need it DO NOT PLAGIARIZE!
Licemer1 [7]
Viruses are microscopic organisms that exist almost everywhere on earth. They can infect animals, plants, fungi, and even bacteria.

Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so deadly that it is fatal. Other viral infections trigger no noticeable reaction.

A virus may also have one effect on one type of organism, but a different effect on another. This explains how a virus that affects a cat may not affect a dog.

Viruses vary in complexity. They consist of genetic material, RNA or DNA, surrounded by a coat of protein, lipid (fat), or glycoprotein. Viruses cannot replicate without a host, so they are classified as parasitic.

They are considered the most abundant biological entity on the planet.

The speed of water flowing through the 4in diameter section of the piping system is 3ft/s. What is the volume flow rate of water
olga_2 [115]
1 ft =12 in 
4 in = 0.333 ft 
volume = (п/4)*(0.333)² = 0.087 ft²
vol. flow = spead *volume
              =3 ft/s * 0.087 ft² 

vol flow = 0.261 ft³/s
