Answer:

The force of the ball on the bat is same as the force of the bat on the ball.  

Explanation:

A bat hits the ball and the ball moves to the out filed.

According to the Newton's third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The action and the reaction forces acts on the two different bodies but the magnitude of the force is same.  

As the ball is hitted by the bat, the bat exerts the force on the ball and the same force is exerted on the bat by the ball according to the Newton's third law.

So, the force of the ball on the bat is same as the force of the bat on the ball but the direction of force is opposite.

If a wire lies withina magnetic field what must be true for the magnetic field to produce an electric current in the wire
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The magnetic field through the wire must be changing

Explanation:

According to Faraday's law, the induced emf, ε in a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux,Φ  through it. This is stated mathematically as ε = dΦ/dt.

Now for the wire, the magnetic flux through it is given by Φ = ABcosθ where A = cross-sectional area of wire, B = magnetic field and θ = angle between A and B.

So, dΦ/dt = dABcosθ/dt

Since A and B are constant,

dΦ/dt = ABdcosθ/dt = -(dθ/dt)ABsinθ

Since dθ/dt implies a change in the angle between A and B, since A is constant, it implies that B must be rotating.

So, <u>for an electric current (or voltage) to be produced in the wire, the magnetic field must be rotating or changing</u>.

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to machines?
allsm [11]
Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. ... This principle is referred to as the first law of thermodynamics or the law of energy conservation. The law applies to all systems both large and small, and, again, it states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
