Answer:

A. Protons

Explanation:

Atomic number is an indicator of how many protons an element possesses in its nucleus. We use atomic number to identify an element. For example, carbon has 6 protons and an atomic number of 6.

A pitcher throws a 0.144-kg baseball toward the batter so that it crosses home plate horizontally and has a speed of 42 m/s just

Solnce55 [7]

(a) 12.8 kg m/s

The impulse delivered by the bat on the baseball is equal to the change in momentum of the baseball:

$I=\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where we have

m = 0.144 kg is the mass of the ball

v = -47 m/s is the final velocity of the ball

u = 42 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball

Substituting into the equation, we find

$I=(0.144 kg)(-47 m/s-(42 m/s))=-12.8 kg m/s$

And since we are interested in the magnitude only,

$I=12.8 kg m/s$

(b) 2.78 kN

The impulse exerted on the ball is also equal to the product between the average force and the contact time:

$I=F\Delta t$

where

F is the average force exerted on the ball

$\Delta t=0.0046 s$ is the contact time

Solving the formula for F, we find

$F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{12.8 kg m/s}{0.0046 s}=2783 N = 2.78 kN$

(c) The force exerted on the ball is much larger (1988 times more) than the weigth of the ball

The weight of the ball is given by

$W=mg$

where

m = 0.144 kg is the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Solving the equation for W, we find

$W=(0.144 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=1.4 N$

So as we see, the force exerted on the ball (2783 N) is almost 2000 times larger than the weight of the ball (1.4 N):

$\frac{F}{W}=\frac{2783 N}{1.4 N}=1988$

A crate is sitting in the center of a flatbed truck. As the truck accelerates to the east, the crate moves with it, not sliding

ozzi

Answer:

4. To the east

Explanation:

Friction forces always act in the opposite direction that an object tends to move in. In this case, when the truck accelerates to the east, the crate tends to move to the west due to inertia (the tendency for an object to remain at rest or at constant speed). In order to stop the crate from moving, there needs to be a friction force to the east.
