Answer:

One astronomical unit

Explanation:

in terms of the astronomical unit, or AU. One astronomical unit is the approximate mean distance between the Earth and sun. It's about 93 million miles (150 million km), or 8 light-minutes.

Two men, Joel and Jerry, each pushes an object that are identical on a horizontal frictionless floor starting from rest. Joel an

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

Explanation:

Let suppose that forces are parallel or antiparallel to the direction of motion. Given that Joel and Jerry exert constant forces on the object, the definition of work can be simplified as:

$W = F\cdot \Delta s$

Where:

$W$ - Work, measured in joules.

$F$ - Force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.

$\Delta s$ - Travelled distance by the object, measured in meters.

During the first 10 minutes, the net work exerted on the object is zero. That is:

$W_{net} = W_{Joel} - W_{Jerry}$

$W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s - F\cdot \Delta s$

$W_{net} = (F-F)\cdot \Delta s$

$W_{net} = 0\cdot \Delta s$

$W_{net} = 0\,J$

In exchange, the net work in the next 5 minutes is the work done by Joel on the object:

$W_{net} = W_{Joel}$

$W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s$

Hence, the work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

In which situation is static electricity most likely to form?

Papessa [141]

Answer:

I'd go for 'Marie drives a car'

Explanation:

Static electricity will possible form in all the scenarios, but is more likely to form when you're driving a car. This is due to the friction between the body of the car and the particles in the air around the body of the car. This is why chains are sometimes attached to fuel tankers when transporting them. The chain is made to touch the ground so that any charge built up can be safely conducted to the earth, reducing the chances of a fire outbreak due to charges igniting the fuel.

What’s the answer to question 12 please

matrenka [14]

Answer:

C) amplitude

Explanation:

"The amplitude is a measure of the strength or intensity of the wave. For example, when looking at a sound wave, the amplitude will measure the loudness of the sound. The energy of the wave also varies in direct proportion to the amplitude of the wave."-Ducksters

A batter hits a foul ball. The 0.140-kg baseball that was approaching him at 40.0 m/s leaves the bat at 30.0 m/s in a direction

lara31 [8.8K]

<h3>Answer</h3><h3>7 Ns</h3><h3>Explanation</h3>

Given in the question,

mass of foul ball = 0.140 kg

initial speed with which ball was hit with the bat = 30 m/s

final speed = 40 m/s

According to the scenario the whole scene is making a right angle triangle

So, to the solve the question we will use pythagorus theorem

<h3>Hypotenuse² = base² + height²</h3>

Here,

Hypotenuse= Magnitude of impulse

Base = 1st change of momentum

height = 2nd change of momentum

1st impulse (1st change of momentum)

p = m(1)v(1) = (0.14 kg)(40.0 m/s) = 5.6 kg m / s = 5.6 N s

2nd impulse (2nd change of momentum)

p = m(2)v(2) = (0.14 kg)(30.0 m/s) = 4.2 kg m / s = 4.2 N s

Magnitude of impulse (hypotenuse of triangle)

impulse² = (5.6)² + (4.2)²

impulse² = 31.36 + 17.64

impulse² = 49

impulse² = √49

impulse = 7.0 N s
