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".

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

$\theta=40^0$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic force is

$F_m=evB\sin\theta$

To find the angle, we make $\sin\theta$ subject of the formula

$\implies \sin\theta=\frac{F_m}{evB}=\frac{7.20\times 10^{-13}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.90\times 10^6\times 1.80}$

$\implies \sin\theta=0.641025641$

$\therefore \theta=\sin^{-1}=39.8683^0\\\implies \theta\approxeq 40^0$

A 2.00-kg object A is connected with a massless string across a massless, frictionless pulley to a 3.00-kg object B. Object A re

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

tension: 19.3 N
acceleration: 3.36 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

mass A = 2.0 kg

mass B = 3.0 kg

θ = 40°

Find

The tension in the string

The acceleration of the masses

Solution

Mass A is being pulled down the inclined plane by a force due to gravity of ...

F = mg·sin(θ) = (2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.642788) = 12.5986 N

Mass B is being pulled downward by gravity with a force of ...

F = mg = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = 29.4 N

The tension in the string, T, is such that the net force on each mass results in the same acceleration:

F/m = a = F/m

(T -12.59806 N)/(2 kg) = (29.4 N -T) N/(3 kg)

T = (2(29.4) +3(12.5986))/5 = 19.3192 N

Then the acceleration of B is ...

a = F/m = (29.4 -19.3192) N/(3 kg) = 3.36027 m/s^2

The string tension is about 19.3 N; the acceleration of the masses is about 3.36 m/s^2.

A tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground.

tangare [24]

Explanation:

initial height, yo = 2 m

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

angle of projection,θ = 5 degree

distance of net = 7 m

height of net = 1 m

Let it covers a vertical distance y in time t .

Use Second equation of motion for vertical motion

As it hits the ground in time t, so put y = 0

Taking positive sign, t = 0.84 s

The ball travels a horizontal distance x in time t

X = 20 Cos5 x t

X = 16.76 m

As this distance is more than the distance of net, so it clears the net.

Let t' be the time taken to travel a horizontal distance equal to the distance of net

7 = 20 cos5 x t'

t' = 0.35 s

Let the vertical distance traveled by the ball in time t' is y'.

So,

y' = 2.008 m

So, it clears the net which is 1 m high.

It clears the net by a vertical distance of 2.008 - 1 = 1.008 m and horizontal distance 16.76 - 7 = 9.76 m

your welcome, and have a great day.

If a star is 13.7 light years away from earth, how can we tell which elements it is made of?

ICE Princess25 [194]

Light year is a unit of measure of time that makes use of the speed of light and distance between objects to determine the number of years it will take for the light to travel. We can determine what element the object is made up of by the wavelength of the color.
