"The gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.28 N down. A pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 16.5 m/s by uniformly accelerating it along a straight horizontal line for a time interval of 181 ms. The ball starts from rest.
"The gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.28 N down. A pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 16.5 m/s by uniformly accelerating it along a straight horizontal line for a time interval of 181 ms. The ball starts from rest.
(a) Through what distance does it move before its release? (m)
(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball? (Enter your magnitude to at least one decimal place.)"
Solution
(a) The pitcher accelerates the baseball from rest to a final velocity of , so
, in a time interval of
. The acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction (x-axis) is therefore
And the distance covered by the ball during this time interval, before it is released, is:
(b) For this part we need to consider also the weight of the ball, which is
From this, we find its mass:
Now we can calculate the magnitude of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball. On the x-axis, we have
We also know that the ball is moving straight horizontally. This means that the vertical component of the force exerted by the pitcher must counterbalance the weight of the ball (acting downward), in order to have a net force of zero along the y-axis, and so:
(upward)
So, the magnitude of the force is
To find the direction, we should find the angle of F with respect to the horizontal. This is given by
From which we find
Answer:
a) E = 8.63 10³ N /C, E = 7.49 10³ N/C
b) E= 0 N/C, E = 7.49 10³ N/C
Explanation:
a) For this exercise we can use Gauss's law
Ф = ∫ E. dA = /ε₀
We must take a Gaussian surface in a spherical shape. In this way the line of the electric field and the radi of the sphere are parallel by which the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product
The area of a sphere is
A = 4π r²
if we use the concept of density
ρ = q_{int} / V
q_{int} = ρ V
the volume of the sphere is
V = 4/3 π r³
we substitute
E 4π r² = ρ (4/3 π r³) /ε₀
E = ρ r / 3ε₀
the density is
ρ = Q / V
V = 4/3 π a³
E = Q 3 / (4π a³) r / 3ε₀
k = 1 / 4π ε₀
E = k Q r / a³
let's calculate
for r = 4.00cm = 0.04m
E = 8.99 10⁹ 3.00 10⁻⁹ 0.04 / 0.05³
E = 8.63 10³ N / c
for r = 6.00 cm
in this case the gaussine surface is outside the sphere, so all the charge is inside
E (4π r²) = Q /ε₀
E = k q / r²
let's calculate
E = 8.99 10⁹ 3 10⁻⁹ / 0.06²
E = 7.49 10³ N/C
b) We repeat in calculation for a conducting sphere.
For r = 4 cm
In this case, all the charge eta on the surface of the sphere, due to the mutual repulsion between the mobile charges, so since there is no charge inside the Gaussian surface, therefore the field is zero.
E = 0
In the case of r = 0.06 m, in this case, all the load is inside the Gaussian surface, therefore the field is
E = k q / r²
E = 7.49 10³ N / C
