If you want to increase the acceleration of a baseball when you throw it, what must you increase to make this happen?

In the Daytona 500 auto race, a Ford Thunderbird and a Mercedes Benz are moving side by side down a straightaway at 71.0 m/s. Th

Answer:

Thunderbird is 995.157 meters behind the Mercedes

Explanation:

It is given that all the cars were moving at a speed of 71 m/s when the driver of Thunderbird decided to take a pit stop and slows down for 250 m. She spent 5 seconds in the pit stop.

Here final velocity $v=0 \ m/s$

initial velocity $u= 71 m/s$ distance

Distance covered in the slowing down phase = $250 m$

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$a= \frac {(v^2-u^2)}{2s}$

$a = \frac {(0^2-71^2)}{(2 \times 250)}=-10.082 \ m/s^2$

$v=u+at$

$t= \frac {(v-u)}{a}$

$= \frac {(0-71)}{(-10.082)}=7.042 s$

$t_1=7.042 s$

The car is in the pit stop for 5s $t_2=5 s$

After restart it accelerates for 350 m to reach the earlier velocity 71 m/s

$a= \frac {(v^2-u^2)}{(2\times s)} = \frac{(71^2-0^2)}{(2 \times 370)} =6.81 \ m/s^2$

$v=u+at$

$t= \frac{(v-u)}{a}$

$t= \frac{(71-0)}{6.81}= 10.425 s$

$t_3=10.425 s$

total time= $t_1 +t_2+t_3=7.042+5+10.425=22.467 s$

Distance covered by the Mercedes Benz during this time is given by $s=vt=71 \times 22.467= 1595.157 m$

Distance covered by the Thunderbird during this time= $250+350=600 m$

Difference between distance covered by the Mercedes and Thunderbird

= $1595.157-600=995.157 m$

Thus the Mercedes is 995.157 m ahead of the Thunderbird.

Where in our daily lives do we encounter "background" radiation

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Explanation:Naturally occurring radioactive materials are present in its crust, the floors and walls of our homes, schools, or offices and in the food we eat and drink. There are radioactive gases in the air we breathe. Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements.

An organ is a group of two or more tissue. They function to maintain homeostasis in the body (keep the person alive) all body systems work together to perform functions (switching between throat and windpipe etc)

A spring is hung from the ceiling. A 2.0-kg mass suspended hung from the spring extends it by 6.0 cm. A downward external force

Stolb23 [73]

The work done by force on a spring hung from the ceiling will be 1.67 J

Any two things with mass are drawn together by the gravitational pull. We refer to the gravitational force as attractive because it consistently seeks to draw masses together rather than pushing them apart.

Given that a spring is hung from the ceiling with a 2.0-kg mass suspended hung from the spring extends it by 6.0 cm and a downward external force applied to the mass extends the spring an additional 10 cm.

We need to find the work done by the force

Given mass is of 2 kg

So let,

F = 2 kg

x = 0.1 m

Stiffness of spring = k = F/x

k = 20/0.006 = 333 n/m

Now the formula to find the work done by force will be as follow:

Workdone = W = 0.5kx²

W = 0.5 x 333 x 0.1²

W = 1.67 J

Hence the work done by force on a spring hung from the ceiling will be 1.67 J

Suppose a large truck on a hydraulic lift exerts 7,000 N of force on a piston with an area of 0.4 m2. The piston can only suppor

uysha [10]

Pressure is the amount of force per unit area. In formula it is,

P = F ÷ A

P = 7000 N ÷ 0.4 m2

P = 17,500 N/m2

The amount of pressure the truck exerts on the piston is 17,500 N/m2
