A 145-g baseball is thrown so that it acquires a speed of 25 m/s. What was the net work done on the ball to make it reach this s
inysia [295]

When the ball has left your hand and is flying on its own, its kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

KE = (1/2) (0.145 kg) (25 m/s)²

KE = (0.0725 kg) (625 m²/s²)

<em>KE = 45.3 Joules</em>

If the baseball doesn't have rocket engines on it, or a hamster inside running on a treadmill that turns a propeller on the outside, then there's only one other place where that kinetic energy could come from:  It MUST have come from the hand that threw the ball.  The hand would have needed to do  <em>45.3 J</em>  of work on the ball before releasing it.

What mass needs to be attached to a spring with a force constant of 7N/m in order to make a simple harmonic oscillator oscillate
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Mass will be 4.437 kg

Explanation:

We have given force constant k = 7 N/m

Time period of oscillation T = 5 sec

So angular frequency \omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{5}=1.256rad/sec

We know that angular frequency is given by

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

1.256 =\sqrt{\frac{7}{m}}

Squaring both side

1.577 =\frac{7}{m}

m = 4.437 kg

Hope you can answer this: A Student Visits A Farm And Makes These Notes In Her Journal.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Common Sense

Explanation:

The chick has probably seen other chicks get caught by the Hawk and knows not to go near, or saw a giant bird flying straight towards it and used common sense to identify it as danger and run away. Although if this is for a test or a grade or something, please do not use the answer, it is most likely incorrect. This is honestly my best answer.
