ANSWER:
2) during the collision
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
We have that when a baseball ball collides with a bat, its velocity changes from positive to negative, that is, the ball when hit with an opposing force changes its direction exactly opposite to the initial one.
Therefore, during the collision, at some point in time, the velocity of the ball reaches zero and then finally changes its direction associated with an increase in the velocity of the ball.
An object on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released. If it isdisplaced 0.12m from its equilibrium position and released after 0.8s its displacement is found to be 0.12m onthe opposites side, and passed the equilibrium position once during the interval. Find:
Given:
The maximum displacement from the equilibrium position is A = 0.12 m.
Half of the time period is
[tex]T_{\frac{1}{2}}=\text{ 0.8 s}[/tex]To find the amplitude, time period, and frequency.
Explanation:
Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.
Thus, the amplitude is A = 0.12 m.
One time period is the time taken from maximum displacement on one side(say A) to maximum displacement on the opposite side and back to the maximum displacement on the same side(A).
Thus, the time period is

The total mass of the student and bicycle is 120 kg. The student applies the brakes and stops. The braking distance is 10 m. What is the average braking force?
Work = change in energy
Fd = 1/2 mv^2
F = 1/2 x 120 x 5^2 / 10
F = 150 N
If a student cycles along a level road at a speed of 5.0 m / s. The total mass of the student and bicycle is 120 kg. The student applies the brakes and stops. The braking distance is 10 m, then the average braking force would be 150 Newtons.
What is power?The rate of doing work is known as power. The Si unit of power is the watt.
Power =work / time
Work done by the braking force = change in kinetic energy
F × s = 1/2 × m × v²
F = 0.5 x 120 x 5² / 10
F = 150 Newtons
Thus, the average braking force would be 150 Newtons.

If there is a source voltage of 12 volts with a 2.5 volt drop over the LED, and an intended current of 100 mA, what size resistor should be used?
Given:
A voltage source has a voltage of 12 V.
A voltage drop over the LED is 2.5 V.
The current in the circuit is 100 mA.
To find:
The resistance of the resistor should be used.
Explanation:
LED is a forward-biased PN junction that emits light. The voltage drop over the LED is 2.5 V.
The voltage source has a voltage of 12 V.
Hence, the total voltage in the circuit = 12 V - 2.5 V = 9.5 V
The resistance of the circuit in the forward biased is almost equal to zero. Let the resistance in the circuit be R.
Thus, the total resistance in the circuit = 0 + R = R
The current in the circuit is = 100 mA = 0.1 A
The resistance R of the circuit can be calculated as:
[tex]R=\frac{V}{I}[/tex]Here, V is the voltage in the circuit and I is the current in the circuit.
Substituting the values in the above equation, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} R=\frac{9.5\text{ V}}{0.1\text{ A}} \\ \\ R=95\text{ }\Omega \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer:
Hence, a resistor of 95 Ω should be used in the circuit.

[tex]KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]Substitute the values in the above expression, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} KE=\frac{1}{2}\times3.15\text{ kg}\times(2.5\text{ m/s\rparen}^2 \\ \\ KE=\frac{1}{2}\times3.15\text{ kg}\times6.25\text{ m}^2\text{/s}^2 \\ \\ KE=9.84\text{ kg.m}^2\text{/s}^2 \\ \\ KE=9.84\text{ J} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer:

7.0 J of work is done to draw a bowstring back. The bow launches an arrow with a mass of 0.09 kg straight upward.
(a) What is the arrow's kinetic energy as it leaves the bow? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
J
(b) What is the arrow's speed? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
m/s
(c) What maximum height does the arrow reach? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
m
The final answer is
(a) The KE = 3.88 * 10
(b) The speed of the arrow is 2.93 * 10
(c) Height which the arrow attains is 4.38 * 10
When the arrow is drawn from a bowstring back then there will be some work done. The pulling of the bowstring will have a distance moved and the energy used to do this.
Given,
Work done = 7 J
Mass of the arrow = 0.09 kg
The computations for a and b are the following:
To calculate the Kinetic energy,Work done = force x distance
7.0 J = force x 0.09
force = 7/0.09=77.77 = 7.77 x 10
force = m. a = 0.09 x a
77.77 / 0.09 = a = 864.1 = 8.64*10²
KE = 0.5 x m x v²
= 0.5 x 0.09 x 864.1
= 3.88 * 10
The speed of the arrow can be calculated asspeed 38.8/(0.5 x 0.09) = v² = 862 sq-root
Hence, v = 2.93*10¹ m/s is the answer
Height that the arrow reaches29.3² = 2gh
= 29.3²/(2 x 9.8) = 858.49 / (2 x 9.8) = 43.8 m
h = 43.8 m or 4.38 * 10¹ is the answer
Therefore, we can conclude that the kinetic energy of the arrow that leaves bowstring is 3.88*10 with the speed of 29.3 m/s and it reaches the height of 43.8 m.

Which part of the rock cycle can only occur because of thermal convection?
1. Magma changing to igneous rock
2. Igneous rock changing to metamorphic rock
3. Metamorphic rock changing to sedimentary rock
4. Sediment changing to sedimentary rock
Answer:
magma changing to igneous rock
Explanation:
In rock formation, there are several processes involved which could include sedimentation, melting, crystallization, etc but there is a part of the rock cycle that can only occur because of thermal convection which is magma changing to igneous rock.
This occurs when the heat from inside the earth and cooler temperature moves the rock in its liquid state which is known as convection and can also be defined as a cycle of heat transfer from where the hot material rises and the cool material condenses.
Every time a cycle of convection currents occur, the temperature of the water ________.A. IncreasesB. Stays the sameC. DecreasesD. Goes to zero
The answer to this question is B
The reason the answer is B is because of how the cycle works. In the beggining, water is heated up and evaporates into the atmosphere as water vapor. Then the water cools down and condensates, coming back down. The water then ends up back to the same temperature as the earth. So in the end, the entire cycle doesn't add or remove heat from the water.
