What would happen to the number of home runs a player could hit if the air was removed from above the field? Use your understand

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.

Stacy measures two quantities: the mass of each washer and the force that the washers exert on the force meter. In general, how
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

When she adds more washers to the meter, the magnitude of force that is shown on the force meter increases.

Explanation:

The force that the washers exert on the force meter is actually the weight of the washers. Weight is actually a force with gravitation acceleration.

                       F = W = mg

Where g is gravitational acceleration and its value is 9.81 m/s² and m is the mass of any object. As she adds more washers to the meter so the total mass of the washers increases. As the mass of the washers increases, magnitude of the force (Weight) shown on the force meter increases.

A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 Cin 80 min. Silver contains 5.8 x 10^{28} free electrons per cubic me
never [62]

1) Current in the wire: 0.0875 A

The current in the wire is given by:

I=\frac{Q}{t}

where

Q is the charge passing a given point in the conductor

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we have

Q = 420 C is the total charge passing through a given point in a time of

t = 80 min = 4800 s

So, the current is

I=\frac{420 C}{4800 s}=0.0875 A

2) Drift velocity of the electrons: 1.78\cdot 10^{-6} m/s

The drift velocity of the electrons in the wire is given by:

u = \frac{I}{nAq}

where

I = 0.0875 A is the current

n=5.8\cdot 10^{28} is the number of free electrons per cubic meter

A is the cross-sectional area

q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C is the charge of one electron

The radius of the wire is

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.6 mm}{2}=1.3 mm=0.0013 m

So the cross-sectional area is

A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.0013 m)^2=5.31\cdot 10^{-6} m^2

So, the drift velocity is

u = \frac{(0.0875 A)}{(5.8\cdot 10^{28})(5.31\cdot 10^{-6})(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)}=1.78\cdot 10^{-6} m/s

Oceanographers use submerged sonar systems, towed by a cable from a ship, to map the ocean floor. In addition to their downward
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Tension in the cable is T = 16653.32 N

Explanation:

Give data:

Cross section Area A = 1.3 m^2

Drag coefficient CD = 1.2

Velocity V = 4.3 m/s

Angle made by cable with horizontal  =30 degree

Density \rho \ of\  water= 1000 kg/m3

 Drag force FD is given as

F_{D} = \fracP{1}{2} \rho v^{2} C_{D} A

        = 0.5\times 1000\times 4.32\times  1.2\times 1.3

Drag force = 14422.2 N acting opposite to the motion

As cable made angle  of 30 degree with horizontal  thus horizontal component is take into action to calculate drag force

TCos30 = F_D

T = \frac{F_D}{cos30}

T =\frac{ 14422.2}{cos 30}

T = 16653.32 N

Which of these discoveries contradict components of Dalton’s atomic theory? Check all of the boxes that apply. Atoms contain sma
EastWind [94]

Explanation:

According to Dalton's atomic theory, all the atoms are individual, all the atoms of the same element are identical in properties and mass, the compound is formed from two or more kinds of the atoms, all the matter is made up of small atoms and the chemical reaction is a rearrangement of the atoms.

The discoveries which contradicts the components of Dalton's atomic theory from the given discoveries are:

Nuclear reactions can change an atom of one element into an atom of another element.

Atoms of a given element can have different numbers of neutrons.

Atoms contain smaller particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.

An astronomer observes that the wavelength of light from a distant star is shifted toward the red part of the visible spectrum.
balandron [24]

Answer:

The distance between the earth and the star is increasing.

Explanation:

When we observe an object and its electromagnetic radiation has been displaced to blue, it means that it is getting closer to us, causing the light waves it emits to get closer together and its wavelength to decrease towards blue, this is knowm as blueshift.

On the contrary, when an object is rapidly moving away from us, the light waves or electromagnetic radiation it emits have been stretched from their normal wavelength to a longer wavelength, towards the red part of the spectrum. This is known as redshift.

This phenomenon of changes in wavelength and frequency due to movement (whether the source approaches or moves away) is described by the Doppler effect.

So for this case because the light we perceive from the star has moved to the red part of the visible spectrum, we can conclude that it is moving away from the earth, and that the distance between the star and the earth is increasing.
