Homer Agin leads the Varsity team in home runs. In a recent game, Homer hit a 34.5 m/s sinking curve ball head on, sending it of

f his bat in the exact opposite direction at 23.9 m/s. The actually contact between ball and bat lasted for 0.00075 seconds. Determine the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during the contact with the bat in m/s/s. Do not include units or /- sign. Round your answer to a whole number.

Answer:

–77867 m/s/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Acceleration = (final velocity – Initial velocity) /time

a = (v – u) / t

With the above formula, we can obtain acceleration of the ball as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (–23.9 – 34.5) / 0.00075

a = –58.4 / 0.00075

a = –77867 m/s/s

Thus, the acceleration of the ball is –77867 m/s/s.

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer Group of answer choices it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely

Explanation:

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely. This done because there is a small bend in the mercury channel of a clinical thermometer that uses mercury. You must shake the thermometer to get the mercury from a previous reading from the thermometer back into the bulb for taking new reading. The bend prevents flow back into the tube so that one can comfortably take reading.

In 1986, several robotic spacecrafts were sent into space to study the Halley's Comet. Which of these statements best explains w

maks197457 [2]

No spacecraft has been built yet that was able to absorb harmful
radiations in space, change weather conditions on Earth, or destroy
meteors and comets which might strike Earth.

We should continue to send robotic spacecrafts into space
because they help discard some myths about objects in space.
In other words, they help us learn things that we never knew before.

Briefly describe the difference between the behaviorist, nativist, and interactionist language acquisition theories.

Over [174]

Answer:

Described below

Explanation:

- The behaviorist theories: This theory is of the claim that language is learned through the means of reinforcement and imitation. This means that little children can mimic the language of individuals around them and also receive reinforcement to correct the formation of their words. Thereafter, words not reinforced will eventually no longer be in use.

- The nativist theories: This theory is of the claim that individuals possess an innate process which is used in language learning and is widely known as "language acquisition device" (LAD). This device is used to assist in helping them automatically learn languages.

-The interactionist theories: This theory is of the claim that innate processes which is also referred to as genetic predispositions and learning experiences from the environment both help in language development.

Describe how to make an electromagnet

Black_prince [1.1K]

First you get a tool and remove some of the warping from the tip.hehe. Then you neatly wrap the wires around the nail. Wrap more if you want to make it stronger. Make sure your able to fit the battery. connect the end of the wire to the positive side. Be careful.

What is the radius of a tightly wound solenoid of circular cross-section that has 180turns if a change in its internal magnetic

Nata [24]

Answer:

Radius of cross section, r = 0.24 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns, N = 180

Change in magnetic field, $\dfrac{dB}{dt}=3\ T/s$

Current, I = 6 A

Resistance of the solenoid, R = 17 ohms

We need to find the radius of the solenoid (r). We know that emf is given by :

$E=N\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

$E=N\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}$

Since, E = IR

$IR=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

$A=\dfrac{IR}{N.\dfrac{dB}{dt}}$

$A=\dfrac{6\ A\times 17\ \Omega}{180\times 3\ T/s}$

$A=0.188\ m^2$

or

$A=0.19\ m^2$

Area of circular cross section is, $A=\pi r^2$

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{A}{\pi}}$

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.19}{\pi}}$

r = 0.24 m

So, the radius of a tightly wound solenoid of circular cross-section is 0.24 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
