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.

While looking at bromine (Br) on the periodic table, a student needs to find another element with very similar chemical properti
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: There are many possible elements, and they are all in the same vertical column as bromine.

Explanation:

In a periodic table, the elements are arranged according to the atomic number. The elements arranged in the same vertical column (known as groups) have same valence configuration and therefore have same chemical properties. Hence, there would be more possible elements having same chemical properties in the same vertical column (group) as Bromine.

You and your family take a trip to see your aunt who lives 100 miles away along a straight highway. The first 60 miles of the tr
Nitella [24]

Answer:

51.2 mi/h

Explanation:

Total distance, d = 100 miles

First 60 miles with speed 55 mi/h

Next 40 miles with speed 75 mi/h

Time taken for first 60 miles, t1 = 60 / 55 = 1.09 h

Time taken for 40 miles, t2 = 40 / 75 = 0.533 h

Time spent to get stuck, t3 = 20 min = 0.33 h

Total time, t = t1 + t2 + t3 = 1.09 + 0.533 + 0.33 = 1.953 h

The average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken.

Average speed = =\frac{100}{1.953}=51.2 mi/h

Thus, the average speed of the journey is 51.2 mi/h.

A 1500 kg car traveling at 20 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while approaching the valley shown in the figure. The alert driver im
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

v_f = 17.4 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use conservation of energy

starting point. On the hill when running out of gas

          Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g y₁

final point. Arriving at the gas station

         Em_f = K + U = ½ m v_f ² + m g y₂

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         ½ m v₀ ² + m g y₁ = ½ m v_f ² + m g y₂

        v_f ² = v₀² + 2g (y₁ -y₂)

         

we calculate

        v_f ² = 20² + 2 9.8  (10 -15)

        v_f = √302

         v_f = 17.4 m / s

A student states that 203.9 g of table sugar will form a saturated solution in 100 g of water.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

The temperature and the solubility of sugar at that temperature

Explanation:

The amount of substance which can be dissolved in the solvent depends on the temperature.

As the temperature increases, more substance can be dissolved.

A solution is  saturated if any more of the solute cannot be dissolved in the solution at the given temperature

Hence we need to know the temperature  and also the amount of substance which can be dissolved(solubility) at the same temperature

a) the statement given in option A is correct

b) molar mass has no correlation with the substance's solubility and hence option b is not correct

c) The percent by volume of the solution is not needed to find if the solution is saturated and hence option c is not correct
