Gennadij [26K]2 years ago

Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.

A baseball player hits a ball with 400 n of force.how much does the ball exert on the bat
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The ball exerts a force of 400 N on the bat.

Explanation:

Given that,

A baseball player hits a ball with 400 N of force.

We need to find the force the ball exert on the bat.

We know that,

According to Newton's third law, when object 1 exerts a force on an object 2, then object 2 will exert a force on object 1 but in opposite direction.

So, the ball exerts a force of 400 N on the bat.

Jack travelled 360 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. Elaine
diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Explanation:

Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km

Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours

As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:

Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km

It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = Distance/ time = 360 km / 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Jake calculates that the frequency of a wave is 230 hertz, and its wave is moving at 460 m/s. What is the wavelength of the wave
Nesterboy [21]

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (460 m/s) / (230/sec) = <em>2 meters</em>
