5. What do you think? At a baseball game, when you are far from the batter, you might see the batter hit the ball before you hear the sound of the hit. Why do you think this
happens?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of sound in air is lower compared to in solids and liquids.

Explanation:

Sound is a wave that can be generated by a vibrating body. Its speed through different media differs due to the nature of the media.

Since the molecules of solids are closely packed, sound can be easily transferred from one molecule to another at a faster rate. Thus, the high speed of sound in solids.

In liquids, the molecules are not as closely packed as solids. So that  the speed of sound though liquids is lower compared to that of solids. Gases has its molecules farther apart, thus making the speed of sound through it the lowest compared to solids and liquids.

Therefore the sound of the batter hitting the ball is heard latter, due to its lower speed through the air.

Answers

Answer:

The time for both of the balls to reach the ground would be the same.

Explanation:

If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height. ... In air, a feather and a ball do not fall at the same rate.

Whats the word for when "velocity equals 0 and direction changes" Its 14 letters, and I have _ _ _ _ i _ _ _ _ _ h_ i _ _ t

Answers

Answer:

Maximum Height

Explanation:

The maximum height is the highest point reached by a projected body. At this point, final velocity, v of the body is equal to 0; because upward motion is at its peak and the body start to fall again.

Hence, final velocity v is always 0 at this maximum point and the direction of motion changes from upward to downward.

Final velocity at this maximum height is zero because of the directional change experied by the object and the fact that upward motion of the body terminates at this point.

9. During an egg toss, a catcher must cushion the egg by maximizing the time it takes to stop the

egg. Find the impulse applied to a 60.0-gram egg, if the egg has an initial velocity of 6.0 m/s as it

first touches the catcher's hand, and the egg is stopped within 50.0 cm.

Answers

Answer:

the impulse experienced by the egg is 0.053 kgm/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the egg, m = 60 g = 0.06 kg

initial velocity of the egg, u = 6 m/s

height moved by the egg, h = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Determine the final velocity of the egg as it moves upward;

v² = u² + 2(-g)h

v² = u² - 2gh

where;

v is the final velocity

-g is negative acceleration due gravity as it moves upward

v² = 6² - 2(9.8 x 0.5)

v² = 26.2

v = √26.2

v = 5.12 m/s

The impulse applied to the egg is the change in linear momentum;

J = ΔP

ΔP = mu - mv

ΔP = m(u - v)

ΔP = 0.06(6 - 5.12)

ΔP = 0.053 kgm/s

Therefore, the impulse experienced by the egg is 0.053 kgm/s.

An archer defending a castle is on an 15.5 m high wall. He shoots an arrow straight down at 22.8 m/s. How much time does it take to reach the ground? (Unit = s) Watch your minus signs!​

Answers

Answer:

  about 602 milliseconds

Explanation:

The motion can be approximated by the equation ...

  y = -4.9t^2 -22.8t +15.5

where t is the time since the arrow was released, and y is the distance above the ground.

When y=0, the arrow has hit the ground.

Using the quadratic formula, we find ...

  t = (-(-22.8) ± √((-22.8)^2 -4(-4.9)(15.5)))/(2(-4.9))

  = (22.8 ± √823.64)/(-9.8)

The positive solution is ...

  t ≈ 0.60195193

It takes about 602 milliseconds for the arrow to reach the ground.

Kinetic energy increases as:
A. Mass increases and velocity decreases.
B. Mass decreases and velocity increases.
C. Both mass and velocity increase.
D. Both mass and velocity decrease.

Answers

C. Both mass and velocity increases

Kinetic energy formula is: 1/2 mv^2

M = mass

V = Velocity

So as kinetic energy increases, mass increases and velocity increases because mass and velocity are directly proportional to each other.



A steel ball bearing is released from a height H and

rebounds after hitting a steel plate to a height H.

What is true about the collision with the steel plate?

Answers

Answer:

ELASTIC collision

kinetic energy is conservate

Explanation:

As the ball bounces to the same height, it can be stated that the impact with the floor is ELASTIC.

As the floor does not move the conservation of the moment

            po = pf

            -mv1 = m v2

- v1 = v2

So the speed with which it descends is equal to the speed with which it rises

Therefore the kinetic energy of the ball before and after the collision is the same

Answer:

CORRECT (SELECTED)

It is elastic since kinetic energy was conserved.

Explain why the protons can never change for a particular element. What subatomic particles can change and what do they form?

Answers

Protons can never change for any particular element because they're in the nucleus and the force keeping them there is extremely strong and hard to overcome. Electrons, however, orbit the nucleus and they change all the time. When electrons either leave or join an atom they form ions.

Positive ions (cations) are when electrons leave, so the positive charge is greater than the negative charges, and negative ions (anions) are when electrons join so the negative charge is greater than the positive charge.

True or false

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.

the final velocity of the wood/bullet mass?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

u=150 m/s

v=0

m-10 y =0.01 kg

t=0.03s

s

v=utat

o= 150+a (0.03)

therefore a= -5000 m/s power 2

v power 2 = u power 2 + 2as

0=150 power 2+ 2 x (-5000) x s

therefore f=2.25 m

A 50 kg child is sitting on a scale on the floor of an elevator. The elevator starts at rest and accelerates down at a rate of a=−1 m/s2.Calculate the velocity of the elevator after 3 seconds.

Answers

Answer:

v=m/s m=v.s -1*3= -3 meter/second

The velocity of the elevator after 3 seconds will be equal to 3 m/s.

What are equations of motion?

We have three equations of motion that can be used to calculate components such as displacement(s), initial (u) and final velocity (v), time(t), and acceleration(a). The expressions for the three equations of motion are as follows:

First Equation of Motion :

v = u + at

Second Equation of Motion :

S = ut + (1/2) at²

The third equation of motion is:

v² - u² =2aS

Given, the initial velocity (u) of the elevator is zero as the elevator is at rest initially.

The acceleration of the elevator, a = -1 m/s² moving downward.

The  final velocity of the elevator after 3 seconds will be:

v = u + at

v = (0) + (-1 m/s²) (3 s)

v = - 3 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the elevator after 3 seconds will be equal to 3 m/s in the downward direction.

When a substance easily dissolves in a liquid, it has high solubility in that liquid. When a substance does not easily dissolve in a liquid, it has low solubility in that liquid. Solubility of a gas in water describes how well the liquid can "hang on" to gas, instead of releasing it into the air. Based on the results of your experiment, do you think that CO2 has a higher solubility in hot water or cold water? Why?

Answers

Answer:

CO2 has a higher solubility in cold water

Explanation:

The solubility of gases decreases with increasing temperature,  the cold water will take up more CO2 and less will be escaping to the air. Furthermore, cold water is denser than warm water, causing it to sink.

Is the potential energy on the surface of Earth zero?If not,what will be it's value?

Answers

Answer:

Potential energy does not have an absolute measurement. It is always relative to some reference point. Gravitational potential always increases when you go up and decreases when you go down. But the choice of a zero point is arbitrary.

If you’re dropping objects onto the ground, then choosing the ground as a zero point makes the calculations easier. But you could just as easily make the zero point the top of Mt. Everest, and all the answers would turn out the same. Up still means more energy and down means less, but now the PE of an object at sea level would have a negative sign, but not as negative as an object ten meters above sea level.

So everything would still work fine.

In fact, planetary astronomers take this idea to extremes. Instead of the top of Mt. Everest, they set the zero point for potential energy as infinitely high—so far “up” that gravity is so weak that going “up” another kilometer doesn’t gain you any energy. Then the value for potential energy everywhere else in the universe anywhere near a planet has a negative sign, but just as before, all the answers in relative terms turn out fine.
