Kinetic energy =0.5*mas*velocity^2
Joules =lg*m^2/s^2
1 miles= 1608.34 meters
1 hour= 3600 Sec
1 ounce =28.35g =0.02836 kg
What is a the kinetic energy, in joules, of this baseball when it is thrown by a major-league pitcher at 96.0 mi/h?

Answer: KE=0.5m*v^2
=0.5*(5.12 o *0.02835 kg/1 ounce)* (95 miles/h*1609.34m/1 miles* 1hr/3600s^)2
131kg*m^2/s^2= 131 joules

By what factor with the kinetic energy change if the speed of the baseball is decreased to 55.0 mi/h?

Answer: KE=0.5*m*v^2
=0.5*(5.13 o*0.02835kg/1 ounce)*(55 miles/ h*1609.34m/1 mile*1 hr/3600s)^2
=44.0kg*m^2s^2=44.0 joules

131/44= 2.98, so decreased by a factor of approximately 3

Answer:

Part a)

KE = 135.3 J

Part b)

Factor by which KE is changed is f = 0.33

Explanation:

As we know that kinetic energy of the ball is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

in order to find kinetic energy in Joule unit we need to plug in all data in SI units

so here we have

m = 5.19 oz = 0.147 kg

now the speed of the ball is

v = 96.0 mi/h

v = 96.0 \times \frac{1609 m}{3600 s} = 42.9 m/s

so we will have

KE = \frac{1}{2}(0.147)(42.9)^2

KE = 135.3 J

Now if the speed of the ball is 55 mph

so it is

v = 55 \times \frac{1609}{3600}

v = 24.6 m/s

so new kinetic energy is given as

KE_2 = \frac{1}{2}(0.147)(24.6)^2

KE_2 = 44.4 J

So the factor by which KE is changed is given as

f = \frac{44.4}{135.3}

f = 0.33

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the crit
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Complete Question:

A beam of white light is incident on the surface of a diamond at an angle \theta_{a},  since the index of refraction depends on the light's wavelength, the different colors that comprise white light will spread out as they pass through the diamond. For example, the indices of refraction in diamond are n_{red} = 2.410 for red light and n_{blue} = 2.450 for blue light. Thus, blue light and red light are refracted at different angles inside the diamond. The surrounding air has n_{air} = 1.000.

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the critical angle θcrit, the light will not be refracted out into the air, but instead it will be totally internally reflected back into the diamond. Find θcrit. Express your answer in degrees to four significant figures.

Answer:

\theta_{crit} = 24.09^{0}

Explanation:

Only the blue refracted ray is related to the critical angle in this question

n_{air} = 1.000

n_{blue} = 2.450

The relationship between the critical angle(\theta_{crit}), n_{air} and n_{blue} can be given as sin \theta_{crit} = \frac{n_{air} }{n_{blue} }

sin \theta_{crit} = \frac{1 }{2.450 }\\\theta_{crit} = sin^{-1} \frac{1 }{2.450 }\\\theta_{crit} = sin^{-1} 0.4082^{0}\\  \theta_{crit} = 24.09^{0}

Suppose you want to make a scale model of a hydrogen atom. You choose, for the nucleus, a small ball bearing with a radius of 1.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

A)  x _electron = 0.66 10² m , B)   x _Eart = 1.13 10² m , C)  d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm

Explanation:

A) Let's use a ball for the nucleus, the electron is at a farther distance the sphere for the electron must be at a distance of

Let's use proportions rule

                x_ electron = 0.529 10⁻¹⁰ /1.2 10⁻¹⁵ 1.5

               x _electron = 0.66 10⁵ mm = 0.66 10² m

B) the radii of the Earth and the sun are

               R_{E} = 6.37 10⁶ m

                tex]R_{Sum}[/tex] = 6.96 10⁸ m

                Distance = 1.5 10¹¹ m

                x_Earth = 1.5 10¹¹ / 6.96 10⁸  1.5

                x _Eart = 1.13 10² m

C) The radius of a sphere that represents the earth, if the sphere that represents the sun is 1.5 mm, let's use another rule of proportions

            d_sphere = 1.5 / 6.96 10⁸  6.37 10⁶

            d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm

A uniform magnetic field of 0.50 T is directed along the positive x axis. A proton moving with a speed of 60 km s enters this fi
tatuchka [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.5 T

Speed of the proton, v = 60 km/s = 60000 m/s

The helical path followed by the proton shown has a pitch of 5.0 mm, p = 0.005 m

We need to find the  angle between the magnetic field and the velocity of the proton. The pitch of the helix is the product of parallel component of velocity and time period. Mathematically, it is given by :

p=v_{||}\times T

p=v\ cos\theta\times \dfrac{2\pi m}{Bq}

cos\theta=\dfrac{pBq}{2\pi mv}

cos\theta=\dfrac{0.005\times 0.5\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{2\pi \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 60000}

\theta=50.58^{\circ}

So, the angle between the magnetic field and the velocity of the proton is 50.58 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.
