A 0.45kg baseball is pitched towards home plate at 20 m/s. The ball is hit back towards the pitcher with a speed of 30 m/s. What

is the change in momentum of the baseball?

Answer:

4.5kgm/s

Explanation:

Change in momentum is expressed as

Change in momentum = m(v-u)

M is the mass

V is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

Given

m=0.45kg

v = 30m/s

u = 20m/s

Substitute

Change in momentum = 0.45(30-20)

Change in momentum = 0.45×10

Change in momentum = 4.5kgm/s

Two fans are watching a baseball game from different positions. One fan is located directly behind home plate, 18.3 mfrom the ba
hjlf

Answer:

Δt = 0.315s

Explanation:

To calculate the time difference, in which both fans hear the batterstrike, you first calculate the time which takes the sound to travel the distances to both fans:

t_1=\frac{d_1}{v_s}

t_2=\frac{d_2}{v_s}

d1: distance to the first fan = 18.3 m

d2: distance to the second fan = 127 m

vs: speed of sound = 345 m/s

You replace the values of the parameters to calculate t1 and t2:

t_1=\frac{18.3m}{345m/s}=0.053s\\\\t_2=\frac{127m}{345m/s}=0.368s

The difference in time will be:

\Delta t =t_2-t_2=0.368s-0.053s=0.315s

Hence, the time difference between hearing the sound at the location s of both fans is 0.315s

Fill in the blank. When the northern hemisphere experiences autumn, the southern hemisphere experiences __________.
Helga [31]

Answer:

When the northern hemisphere experiences autumn, the southern hemisphere experiences <u><em>spring</em></u>

Explanation:

When the northern hemisphere experiences autumn, the southern hemisphere experiences <u><em>spring</em></u>

This is due to the equinoxes.  An equinox is an event that occurs twice a year. During these seasons all areas of the Earth's surface experience an equal amount of daylight and darkness. The sun is on the equator line, so the day and night in both hemispheres have the same duration. At that time the part of the Earth closest to the Sun is the equator.

The shape of the Earth means that while the spring equinox is experienced in the northern hemisphere, the autumn equinox is entered in the southern hemisphere.

A police car with its 300-Hz siren is moving toward a warehouse at 30 m/s, intending to crash through the door. The sound bounce
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: The frequency heard will be f = 275.675Hz

Explanation: When an object emitting sound is moving, it occurs a phenomenon called Doppler shift or Doppler effect. What happens is that the sound gets higher when the moving object comes closer the observer and becomes lower after it passes, This change is due to the quantity of waves that passes through an area in an unit of time.

The formula to calculate the Doppler effect is as follows

f = (\frac{c}{c+Vs}) · f₀

f is the observed frequency;

c is the speed of sound;

Vs is velocity of the source;

f₀ is the emitted frequency of source;

Substituting and calculating,

f = \frac{340}{340+30} · 300

f = 275.675 Hz

Thus, the frequency heard by the police officer is 275.675Hz.

Hazel recently read an article that claimed that radio waves can cause electron displacement. Based on
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Based on  the passage, the article's claim is not true.  Therefore, the answer is:

No, because radio waves  have energies that are too  low to fall in the ionizing  range.

Explanation:

Radio waves are generally known as forms of non-ionizing radiation.  This means that they do not have enough energy, unlike microwaves, to separate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.  They cannot cause electron displacement, as claimed in the article.  Therefore, they cannot break chemical bonds, which can cause chemical reactions or DNA damage. As non-ionizing radiation, radio waves occur at lower frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum.
