Answer:

The ball hitting the bat.

Explanation:

It is given that, a batter swings at a baseball. When the ball is being hitted by the bat, the action force acting on it is 5 N. Let R is the reaction force. It is equal to the action force but it acts in the opposite direction as per Newton's third law of motion.

The action and reaction forces acts on two different objects. Here, if the action force is " bat hitting the ball" then the reaction force will be "the ball hitting the bat" with a force of -5 N.

Hence, the correct option is (d) "the ball hitting the bat".

What results from splitting an atomic nucleus

Burka [1]

A uranium-235 atom absorbs a neutron and fissions into two new atoms (fission fragments), releasing three new neutrons and some binding energy. ... Several heavy elements, such as uranium, thorium, and plutonium, undergo both spontaneous fission, a form of radioactive decay and induced fission, a form of nuclear reaction.

The only force acting on a 3.0 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 5.0 N. The canister initially has a

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The work done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time is

54.06 Joules.

Explanation:

Let the initial kinetic energy of the canister be

KE₁ = $\frac{1}{2} mv_1^{2}$ = $\frac{1}{2} *3*3.6^{2}$ = 19.44 J in the x direction

Let the the final kinetic energy of the canister be

KE₂ = $\frac{1}{2} mv_2^{2}$ = $\frac{1}{2} *3*7.0^{2}$ = 73.5 J in the y direction

Therefore from the Newton's first law of motion, the effect of the force is the change of momentum and the difference in energy between the initial and the final

= 73.5 J - 19.44 J = 54.06 J

A) f = 1.8 rev/s = 2 Hz
T = 1 / f = 0.55s

B) not really sure..srry

C) T = 2 pi √ ( L / g ) 
0.57 = 2 x 3.14 x √ ( 0.2 / g )

g = 25.5 m/s²

Hope this helps a little at least.. :)

g n diffraction, the formula for minima is given by a times s i n (theta )equals m lambda, where a is the width of the slit, the

ki77a [65]

Answer:

θ = 22.2

Explanation:

This is a diffraction exercise

a sin θ = m λ

The extension of the third zero is requested (m = 3)

They indicate the wavelength λ = 630 nm = 630 10⁻⁹ m and the width of the slit a = 5 10⁻⁶ m

sin θ = m λ / a

sin θ = 3 630 10⁻⁹ / 5 10⁻⁶

sin θ = 3.78 10⁻¹ = 0.378

θ = sin⁻¹ 0.378

to better see the result let's find the angle in radians

θ = 0.3876 rad

let's reduce to degrees

θ = 0.3876 rad (180º /π rad)

θ = 22.2º

Answer:

Hello your question is missing some parts attached below is the missing part of your question

answer: many primary sensory Neurons will converge and become a single Neuron and the single Neuron will send a single harmonized signal to the Brain.

Explanation:

The reason regardless of the location that will make you perceive the two points as a single point rather than as two distinct points is that many primary sensory Neurons will converge and become a single Neuron and the single Neuron will send a single harmonized signal to the Brain.
