5 0

Answer:

Amount of work done by Joanne = 80 joule

Explanation:

Given:

Displacement of ball = 2 meters

Force applied = 40 newtons

Find:

Amount of work done by Joanne

Computation;

Work done = Force applied x Displacement

Amount of work done by Joanne = Force applied x Displacement of ball

Amount of work done by Joanne = 40 x 2

Amount of work done by Joanne = 80 joule

A baseball is batted. It's a long fly ball. 4 seconds later the ball reaches the outfield 100 meters away and returns to the hei

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

First we should define the variables

T=4

Dx = 100

ay=-9.8

ax=0

We can use formula 1 from the BIG 5

x=(v+v0)t/2

By plugging in our variables we can get 100=4(v+v0)/2

Which is 50=v+v0

v=v0 since horizontal acceleration always equals zero

so 2v0 = 50

v0 = 25

8. A 40.0kg block of metal is suspended from a scale and is immersed in water. The dimensions of the block are 12.0cm x 10.0cm x

Alja [10]

Answer:

a.1017.9N

b.1029.7N

c.T=380.6N

d.11.8 N

Explanation:

(a) The absolute pressure at the level of the top of the block is

Po=atmospheric pressure

g=gravity

h1=height

rh0=density of water

P1=Po+rho*g*h1

1.013*10^5+1000(9.81)(0.05)

1.0179*10^5Pa

at the level of the bottom of the block we have

P2=Po+rho*g*h2

1.013*10^5+1000(9.81)(0.17)

1.0297* 10^5 Pa

the downward force exerted on the top by the water is

Ftop=P*A== × = 1.0179* 10^5* 0.100

= 1017.9 N

and the upward force the water exerts on the bottom of the block , which is the buoyant force

Fbot== × = 1.0297 10^5 * 0.100 m

= 1029.7 N

(b) The scale reading is the tension, T, in the cord supporting the block.

if the block is at equilibrium, then sum of vertical forces

EFy=T+Fbot-Ftop-mg=0

T=mg+Ftop-Fbot

T=40*9.81-(1029.7-1017.9)

T=380.6N

Buoyant force=rho *g*h

= = 1000* 0.100^2 * 0.120 m *9.80 m s=11.8 N

from the answer a Ftop-Fbot

1029.7-1017.9=11.8N, the same as the buoyant force

Which statement describes the reason for the change in the velocity of waves as temperature decreases?

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

O The particles of the medium move more slowly and there are fewer chances to transfer energy.

Explanation:

Various media are made up of particles. These particles are in constant motion according to the kinetic theory of matter. Recall that temperature has been defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in a medium. Hence, for any given medium, the velocity of particle motion increases or decreases linearly with temperature.

The speed of particles in any medium increases or decreases as the temperature of the medium increases or decreases as emphasised above. Hence, at low temperature, the velocity of waves set up by the motion of particles in a medium decreases and transfer the wave energy to neighbouring particles occurs more slowly than at high temperatures.

An experimenter finds that standing waves on a string fixed at both ends occur at 24 Hz and 32 Hz , but at no frequencies in bet

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

8 Hz

Explanation:

Given that

Standing wave at one end is 24 Hz

Standing wave at the other end is 32 Hz.

Then the frequency of the standing wave mode of a string having a length, l, is usually given as

f(m) = m(v/2L), where in this case, m could be 1. 2. 3. 4 etc

Also, another formula is given as

f(m) = m.f(1), where f(1) is the fundamental frequency..

Thus, we could say that

f(m+1) - f(m) = (m + 1).f(1) - m.f(1) = f(1)

And as such,

f(1) = 32 - 24

f(1) = 8 Hz

Then, the fundamental frequency needed is 8 Hz

How might burning fossil fuels affect the composition of gases in the atmosphere?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

No "might". The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere HAS gone up since the start of industrialisation as the result of burning fossil fuels.
