Complete question is;

A baseball bat is a lever. Which of the following explains how a baseball bat differs from a lever like a pry bar?

A) In a baseball bat, effort force is smaller and is applied over a large distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

B) In a baseball bat, effort force is smaller and is applied over a large distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a short distance.

C) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

D) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a short distance.

Answer:

C) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C. This is because unlike in a pry bar, the effort force when swinging a baseball bat is larger and it is applied over a short distance; and in return the resisting force is smaller and it's applied over a long distance.

A uniform string of length 0.50 m is fixed at both ends. Find the

kozerog [31]

Answer:

configuration of string:

Node - Antinode - Node or N-A-N

This is 1/2 wavelength since a full wavelength is N-A-N-A-N

f (fundamental) = V / wavelength

F0 = 300 m/s / 1 m = 100 / sec

F1 = 300 m/s / .5 m = 600 / sec

Each increase is a multiple of the fundamental since the wavelength

increases by 1/2 wavelength to keep nodes at both ends of the string

A large helium filled balloon is used as the center piece for a graduation party. The balloon alone has a mass of 225 kg and it

Orlov [11]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second law, the definition of density and sum of forces in bodies.

From Newton's second law we understand that

$F= ma (\rightarrow$ Gravity at this case)

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

Also we know that

$\rho = \frac{m}{V} \Rightarrow m = \rho V$

Part A) The buoyant force acting on the balloon is given as

$F_b = ma$

As mass is equal to the density and Volume and acceleration equal to Gravity constant

$F_b = \rho V g$

$F_b = 1.2*323*9.8$

$F_b = 3798.5$

PART B) The forces acting on the balloon would be given by the upper thrust force given by the fluid and its weight, then

$F_{net} = F_b -W$

$F_{net} = F_b -(mg+\rho_H Vg)$

$F_{net} = 3798.5-(9.8*225*9.8*0.179*323)$

$F_{net} = 1030N$

PART C) The additional mass that can the balloon support in equilibrium is given as

$F_{net} = m' g$

$m' =\frac{F_{net}}{g}$

$m' = \frac{1030}{9.8}$

$m' = 105Kg$

A baby elephant is stuck in a mud hole. To help pull it out, game keepers use a rope to apply force A, as part

aniked [119]

Answer:

The ratio is 1:1

Explanation:

Firstly we are told the in (a) we have a force which A given to be: FA

We are then told the are two other forces which a B and C which are equal.

These forces are given to be F and 19.5° away from A.

We are then told that the force on the elephant is now three times, of what it was when we only had force A.

Since we are told that B and C are eqaula.

If we say FA = 2N

Then in order for it to be three times, we would have to add 4N since it was the only force present at the time.

If we add two equal forces, then we can devide that 4 by 2.

We then find out that F =2N

and thus equal to FA.

Therefore the ratio of F/FA is

!:1
