Physics

Answer:

The question relates to the conservation of energy principle, the conservation of the linear momentum, and Newton's Laws of motion

Part A

1) Tom throwing a baseball at a can

The initial velocity of the baseball = v₂

The initial kinetic energy of the baseball, K.E.₂ = (1/2)·m₂·v₂²

∴ The final kinetic energy of the baseball, K.E.₂' = (1/2)·m₂·v₂'² < (1/2)·m₂·v₂²

Therefore, the energy of the ball before the collision is lesser than the energy of the ball after the collision

2) The evidence that would likely support the claim is that the baseball's height above the ground reduces rapidly immediately after the collision which is due to the reduced velocity, and therefore, the reduced (kinetic) energy

The final velocity of the baseball v₂' < v₂

Part B

1) The argument

The initial velocity of the can = v₁ = 0 (The can is initially  at rest)

The initial kinetic energy of the can, K.E.₁ = (1/2)·m₁·v₁² = 0

The final velocity of the can v₁' > v₁ = 0

∴ The final kinetic energy of the can, K.E.₁ = (1/2)·m₁·v₁² > 0

Given that the velocity of the can increases from zero to a positive value after collision with the baseball, the kinetic energy of the can is increased from zero before the collision to a positive value after the collision

2) An evidence in support of the argument is the motion of the can which was initially at rest which is an indication of increase in energy podded by the can

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates
marta [7]
First, create an illustration of the motion of the two cars as shown in the attached picture. The essential equations used are:

For constant acceleration:
a = v,final - v,initial /t
d = v,initial*t + 1/2*at²

For constant velocity:
d = constant velocity*time

The solutions is as follows:

   a = v,final - v,initial /t
  3.8 = (v₁ - 0)/4.6 s
  v₁ = 17.48 m/s

    Total distance = d1 + d2 + d3
    d1 = d = v,initial*t + 1/2*at²
    d2 = constant velocity*time
    
   Total distance =  0*(4.6) + 1/2*(3.8)(4.6)² + (17.48)(9.2) + d3= 257.71
   d3 = 56.69 m

An object has a kinetic energy of 14 J and a mass of 17 kg , how fast is the object moving?
lisabon 2012 [21]
v ^{2} = Joules ÷ (0.5×Kilograms)

14J ÷ 8.5 = 1.64705882

Remember, 1.64705882 = v², so we need to find the square root.

The square root of 1.64705882 is 1.283377894464448

Hope this helps!

Which of the following statements correctly describe the various forms of EM radiation listed above?A) They have different wavel
Aleksandr [31]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are examples of electromagnetic waves with increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength in the following order radiowaves - infrared waves - visible lights - ultraviolet rays- x-rays - gamma rays.

They did not require material medium for their propagation.

The statement above shows that EM radiations possesses different wavelengths and frequency.
