Answer:

number of home runs a player would hit would drastically increase

Explanation:

In a hypothetical scenario, if this were to happen the number of home runs a player would hit would drastically increase. When a player hits the ball force is applied to the ball which sends it flying, then the ball meets an opposing force of air resistance and a downward force of gravity which ultimately causes the ball to fall to the ground. This is explained in Newton's first law which states that "objects in motion remain in uniform motion and in a straight line unless they are met by an opposing unbalanced force." Without the force of air resistance, the ball will only be met with a downward force of gravity which would allow it to travel at a much greater distance before hitting the ground, thus resulting in a drastic increase of home runs.

Answer:

A. Kindly find attached free body diagram for your reference (smiles I guess I will make a terrible artist)

B. The collision is inelastic because both the husband and the wife moved together with same velocity as he grabs her on the waist

C. The general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf

Say mass of husband is m1

Mass of the wife is m2

Velocity of the husband is v1

Velocity of the wife is v2

According to the conservation of momentum principle momentum before impact m1v1+m2v2 =momentum after impact Common velocity after impact (m1+m2)vf

The momentum equation is

m1v1+m2v2= (m1+m2)vf

D. To solve for vf we need to make it subject of formula

vf= {(m1v1) +(m2v2)}/(m1+m2)

E. Substituting our given data

vf=

{(1570*58)+(2550*54)}/(1570+2558)

vf=91060+137700/4120

vf=228760/4120

vf=55.52m/s

Their speed after collision is 55.52m/s

Suppose an electrical wire is replaced with one having every linear dimension doubled (i.e., the length and radius have twice th
Flauer [41]

Answer:

The new resistance becomes half of the initial resistance.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by :

R=\dfrac{\rho L}{A}

\rho = resistivity of material

L and A are linear dimension

If the electrical wire is replaced with one having every linear dimension doubled i.e. l' = 2l and r' = 2r

New resistance of wire is given by :

R'=\dfrac{\rho L'}{A'}

R'=\dfrac{\rho (2L)}{\pi (2r)^2}

R'=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\rho L}{A}

R'=\dfrac{1}{2}R

The new resistance becomes half of the initial resistance. Hence, this is the required solution.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

a) v₃ = 19.54 km, b)  70.2º north-west

Explanation:

This is a vector exercise, the best way to solve it is finding the components of each vector and doing the addition

vector 1 moves 26 km northeast

let's use trigonometry to find its components

         cos 45 = x₁ / V₁

         sin 45 = y₁ / V₁

         x₁ = v₁ cos 45

         y₁ = v₁ sin 45

         x₁ = 26 cos 45

         y₁ = 26 sin 45

         x₁ = 18.38 km

         y₁ = 18.38 km

Vector 2 moves 45 km north

        y₂ = 45 km

Unknown 3 vector

          x3 =?

          y3 =?

Vector Resulting 70 km north of the starting point

           R_y = 70 km

we make the sum on each axis

X axis

      Rₓ = x₁ + x₃

       x₃ = Rₓ -x₁

       x₃ = 0 - 18.38

       x₃ = -18.38 km

Y Axis

      R_y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

       y₃ = R_y - y₁ -y₂

       y₃ = 70 -18.38 - 45

       y₃ = 6.62 km

the vector of the third leg of the journey is

         v₃ = (-18.38 i ^ +6.62 j^ ) km

let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length

         v₃ = √ (18.38² + 6.62²)

         v₃ = 19.54 km

to find the angle let's use trigonometry

           tan θ = y₃ / x₃

           θ = tan⁻¹ (y₃ / x₃)

           θ = tan⁻¹ (6.62 / (- 18.38))

           θ = -19.8º

with respect to the x axis, if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x axis it is

          θ’= 180 -19.8

          θ’= 160.19º

I mean the address is

          θ’’ = 90-19.8

          θ = 70.2º

70.2º north-west

Calculate the force a 70.0-kg high jumper must exert on the ground to produce an upward acceleration 4.00 times the acceleration
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

3433.5 N

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

m = Mass of person = 70 kg

According to the question

a = Acceleration

4g=4\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow a=39.24\ m/s^2

Balancing the forces we have

F-w=ma\\\Rightarrow F=ma+w\\\Rightarrow F=ma+mg\\\Rightarrow F=m(a+g)\\\Rightarrow F=70(39.24+9.81)\\\Rightarrow F=3433.5\ N

The required force is 3433.5 N
