What’s the force of a pitching machine on a baseball? baseballs pitched by a machine have a horizontal velocity of 30 meters/second. the machine accelerates the baseball from 0 meters/second to 30 meters/second in 0.5 seconds. if a baseball has a mass of 0.15 kilograms, the force the machine exerts is newtons.  use  f  =  ma,  where  .

Which of the following statements are true of solids? a.the particles do not vibrate. b.the particles are in a fixed location. c.they have strong intermolecular forces between the atoms or molecules. d.the particles have less kinetic energy than those of liquids or gases.

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?
