A pitching machine is programmed to pitch baseballs horizontally at a speed of 87 mph . The machine is mounted on a truck and ai

med backward. As the truck drives away from a man at a speed of 65 mph, the machine shoots a ball towards him.
For each of the object pairings listed below, determine the correct relative speed.

a - The speed of the pitching machine relative to the truck

b - the speed of the pitched ball relative to the truck

c - the speed of the pitching machine relative to him

d - the speed of the pitched ball relative to him

Answer:

A) The speed of the pitching machine relative to the truck is 0 m/s

B) the speed of the pitched ball relative to the truck is 87mph

C) the speed of the pitching machine relative to him is 65mph

D) the speed of the pitched ball relative to him is 87mph - 65mph = 22mph

A 2.0-kg object is lifted vertically through 3.00 m by a 150-N force. How much work is done on the object by gravity during this
noname [10]

Answer:

-58.8 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force is given by:

W=Fdcos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement.

In this problem, we are asked to find the work done by gravity, so we must calculate the magnitude of the force of gravity first, which is equal to the weight of the object:

F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N

The displacement of the object is d = 3.00 m, while \theta=180^{\circ}, because the displacement is upward, while the force of gravity is downward; therefore, the work done by gravity is

W=Fdcos \theta=(19.6 N)(3.00 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-58.8 J

And the work done is negative, because it is done against the motion of the object.

A ball rolls 6.0 meters as its speed changes from 15 meters per second to 10 meters per second. What is the average speed of the
antoniya [11.8K]
Initial speed, u = 15 m/s
Final speed, v = 10 m/s
Distance traveled, s = 6.0 m

The acceleration, a, is determined from
u² + 2as = v²
(15 m/s)² + 2*(a m/s²)*(6.0 m) = (10 m/s)²
225 + 12a = 100
12a = -125
a = -10.4167 m/s²

The time, t, for the velocity to change from 15 m/s to 10 m/s is given by
(10 m/s) = (15 m/s) - (10.4167 m/s²)*(t s)
10 = 15 - 10.4167t
t = 0.48 s

The average speed is
(6.0 m)/(0.48 s) = 12.5 m/s

Answer: 12.5 m/s

A sister spins her brother in a circle of radius R at angular speed wi. Then the sister decreases her angular speed
Igoryamba

Answer:

The change in the centripetal acceleration of the brother,

                               Δa = V₂²/R - V₁²/R

Explanation:

Given data,

A sister spins her brother in a circle of radius, R

The angular velocity of the brother, ω₁ = V₁/R

The angular velocity of the brother, ω₂ = V₂/R

The centripetal acceleration is given by the relation

                                 a = V²/R

Therefore change in the centripetal acceleration of the brother,

                              Δa = V₂²/R - V₁²/R

A 4.50-kg wheel that is 34.5 cm in diameter rotates through an angle of 13.8 rad as it slows down uniformly from 22.0 rad/s to 1
Mila [183]

Answer:

-10.9 rad/s²

Explanation:

ω² = ω₀² + 2α(θ - θ₀)

Given:

ω = 13.5 rad/s

ω₀ = 22.0 rad/s

θ - θ₀ = 13.8 rad

(13.5)² = (22.0)² + 2α (13.8)

α = -10.9 rad/s²
