A baseball strikes the catcher's glove with a horizontal velocity of 40 m/s. The mass of the baseball is 0.15 kg. The displaceme

nt of the baseball due to the deformation of the catcher's glove and the movement of the catcher's hand is 8 cm from the instant it first makes contact with the glove until it stops. a. How much kinetic energy does the baseball possess just before it strikes the glove

Answer:

the kinetic energy is 120 J

Explanation:

a. The computation of the kinetic energy before it strikes the glove is as follows:

As we know that

The Kinetic energy is

=  1 ÷ 2 × m × v^2

= 1 ÷ 2 × (0.15)(40^2)

= 120 J

Hence, the kinetic energy is 120 J

A 2.74 g coin, which has zero potential energy at the surface, is dropped into a 12.2 m well. After the coin comes to a stop in
VikaD [51]

Answer:

B. - 0.328

Explanation

Potential Energy:<em> This is the energy of a body due to position.</em>

<em>The S.I unit of potential energy is Joules (J).</em>

<em>It can be expressed mathematically as</em>

<em>Ep = mgh........................... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where Ep = potential energy, m = mass of the coin, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity,</em>

<em>Given: m = 2.74 g = 0.00274 kg, h = 12.2 m, g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

Ep = 0.00274×12.2×9.8

Ep = 0.328 J.

Note: Since the potential energy at the surface is zero, the potential Energy with respect to the surface = -0.328 J

The right option is B. - 0.328

What do we mean when we say that two light rays striking a screen are in phase with each other? What do we mean when we say that
galina1969 [7]

Answer: When the electric field due to one is a maximum, the electric field due to the other is also a maximum, and this relation is maintained as time passes. They alternatively reinforce and cancel each other.

Explanation:

In a wave, the phase, is an arbitrary time reference, used to locate a given point of the wave in time, within a cycle.

Two waves can travel at the same speed, or even have the same wavelength, but this is not enough to be sure that at a given point in time, both waves will be in their maximum, as it only can be determined from the phase of the waves.

So, only when the waves reach at the same point in time at the same amplitude, we can say that they arrive in phase, in a constructive interference.

you stop the stopwatch at 4.0 s, but you notice a short time later that the same ant is at 0.81 m on the meter stick. Assuming t
telo118 [61]

The time elapsed since you stopped the stopwatch is 0.41 s.

<em>Your question is not complete, it seems to be missing the following information;</em>

"The velocity of the ant is 2 m/s"

The given parameters;

  • velocity of the ant, v = 2 m/s
  • change in position of the ant, Δx = 0.81 m
  • initial time, t₁ = 4 s
  • time when the ant was noticed, = t₂

Velocity is defined as the change in displacement per change in time of motion of an object.

v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta x}{t_2 - t_1} \\\\t_2 -t_1 = \frac{\Delta x}{v} \\\\t_2 - 4 = \frac{0.81}{2} \\\\t_2 - 4 = 0.405\\\\t_2 = 0.405 + 4\\\\t_2 = 4.405 \approx 4.41 \ s

The time elapsed since you stopped the stopwatch is calculated as;

t_{elapsed} = 4.41 \ s - 4\ s = 0.41 \ s

Thus, the time elapsed since you stopped the stopwatch is 0.41 s.

In the year 1178. five monks at Canterbury Cathedral in England observed what appeared to be an asteroid colliding with the moon
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: 1.28 sec

Explanation:

Assuming that the glow following the collision was produced instantaneously, as the light propagates in a straight line from Moon to the Earth at a constant speed, we can get the time traveled by the light applying velocity definition as follows:

V = ∆x / ∆t

Solving for ∆t, we have:

∆t = ∆x/v = ∆x/c = 3.84 108 m / 3.8 108 m/s = 1.28 sec

A car travels 36 km in 30 minutes. The speed of the car is
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

72km/hr

Explanation:

Speed in Km is usually represented in hours. so if the car is in constant velocity, and if the car travels 36km in 30 min then it travels 72km in 1 hour.

so the speed of the car is 72km/hr
