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>

In a science museum, a 140 kg brass pendulum bob swings at the end of a 16.8 m -long wire.
Mice21 [21]

The period of the pendulum is 8.2 s

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

T is the period

We notice that the period of a pendulum does not depend at all on its mass, but only on its length.

For the pendulum in this problem, we have

L = 16.8 m

and

g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

Therefore the period of this pendulum is

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{16.8}{9.8}}=8.2 s

Suppose two objects are gravitationally attracted to each other with some force F. If the mass of object 1 is multiplied by a fa
RoseWind [281]

If F = Gm₁m₂/d², and we change m₁ to 5m₁ and m₂ to 2m₂, then the new magnitude of the gravitational force is

F' = G (5m₁) (2m₂) / d²

F' = 10  Gm₁m₂ / d²

but this is really just F' = 10F. So J is the correct choice.
