Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Let's take a glass of water as an example. Now, shine a flashlight on it. See it bend the light into a rainbow? That is a example of refraction. When the light enters the water, the water actually slows down and changes its direction, causing the light to come out the other side in a different way. Since water is very dense, it can bend the water and make it different.

A .140kg baseball traveling 35.0m/s strikes the catchers mit bringing the ball to rest, recoils backward 11.0cm what’s the avera

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Average force applied by the call on the glove = 780 N

Explanation:

mass of baseball=0.140 kg

initial velocity = Vi= 35 m/s

Final velocity=Vf= 0

distance traveled=11 cm= 0.11 m

using the kinematic equation Vf²= Vi²+ 2 a d

where a = acceleration

0²= 35²+ 2 a (0.11)

a=-5568.2 m/s²

Now force is given by F= ma

F= 0.140 (5568.2)

F=-780 N

The negative sign signifies that the force acts in the opposite direction.

so the average force= 780 N

Answer:

$v_{ic}=92.53 m/s$

Explanation:

We need to apply conservation of momentum and energy to solve this problem.

Conservation of momentum

$p_{i}=p_{f}$

$m_{c}v_{ic}=(m_{c}+m_{w})V$ (1)

m(c) is the mass of stick clay
m(w) is the mass of the wooden block
v(ic) is the initial velocity of clay
V is the final velocity of the system clay plus wood.

Conservation of total energy

The change in kinetic energy is equal to the change in internal energy, in our case it would be the energy loss due to the friction force. Let's recall the definition of work, it is the dot product between force and displacement, Therefore:

$\Delta E=W$

$\frac{1}{2}(m_{c}+m_{w})V^{2}=F_{friction}*d$

$\frac{1}{2}(m_{c}+m_{w})V^{2}=\mu (m_{c}+m_{w})gd$

We can find V from this equation:

$V=\sqrt{2\mu gd}=\sqrt{2*0.65*9.81*7.5}=9.78 m/s$

Now, let's put V into the equation (1) and find v(ic)

$v_{ic}=\frac{(m_{c}+m_{w})V}{m_{c}}=\frac{123*9.78}{13}=92.53 m/s$

I hope it helps you!

1) $0.92 * 100 = 92$ <Solve using the formula which is:
Mass=Density×Volume
$M=D*V$

2) $3.98 ml$

3) $V=L*W*H$ (Length × Width × Height)

$5*2*4=40$
$\frac{300}{40} =7.5$ (Answer=7.5)
