Answer:

When the bat hits the ball, it exerts some force on the ball. Just think about a home run hitter hitting a stationary ball. How far do you think it will go? Will it go more than 400 ft.? Probably not. While the kinetic energy transferred from the bat to the ball accounts for some energy of the ball, it does not account for all. Where is the mysterious energy coming from?

The answer is conservation of momentum. I just said momentum is conserved but how do I know that? I know that because of Newton's 2nd law: F=ma (Force equals mass times acceleration)

Conservation of momentum means that the harder you throw you, the harder the ball will bounce back at you. That is the reason it is easier to hit a home run on a fast ball than a curveball.

Conservation of momentum also means that the bat can transfer some of its momentum to the ball. This is why it is better to use a heavier bat if you swing just as fast. The momentum is the product of the mass and velocity, so to make it easier to understand;

a heavier bat swung at the same speed as a lighter bat will have more momentum.

A solid cube of edge length r, a solid sphere of radius r, and a solid hemisphere of radius r, all made of the same material, ar
juin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rate at which heat will be radiated is given by the expression

E = e Aσ ( T⁴ - T₀⁴ )

E is heat radiated , e is emissivity , A is area of surface , σ  is stephan's constant T is temperature of the object and T₀ is temperature of the surrounding .

For all the objects given , e , σ T and T₀ are same so E will solely dependent on area of the surface

surface area of cube= 6 r² ,

surface area of sphere = 4 π r²

= 12.56 r²

hemisphere = 2 π r²

= 6.28 r²

12.56 r² >6.28 r² > 6 r²

heat radiated by sphere > heat radiated by hemisphere > heat radiated by cube .

A force of 150 N accelerates a 25 kg wooden chair across a wood floor at 4.3 m/s2 . How big is the frictional force on the block
solniwko [45]
We can first calculate the net force using the given information.

By Newton's second law, F(net) = ma:

F(net) = 25 * 4.3 = 107.5

We can now calculate the frictional force, f, which is working against the applied force, F(app) (this is why the net force is a bit lower):

f = F(net) - F(app) = 150 - 107.5 = 42.5 N

Now we can calculate the coefficient of friction, u, using the normal force, F(N):

f = uF(n) --> u = f/F(N)
u = 42.5/[25(9.8)]
u = 0.17

It takes a slug 20 minutes to travel from the grass to the trash can , a trip of 15 meters. How far could the slug travel in 60
inn [45]

Answer:

45 meters

Explanation:

20 min = 15 meters

So if 20 x 3 = 60

you have to do 3 x 15 !

- which equals to 45 <3

Why do most objects tend to contain nearly equal numbers of positive and negative charges?
mart [117]
<span>Most objects tend to contain the same numbers of positive and negative charge because this is the most stable situation. In fact, if an object has an excess of positive charge, it tends to attract an equal number of negative charges to balance this effect and restore neutrality: the attracted negative charges combine with the excess of positive charges, leaving the object electrically neutral.</span>
