This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
In a softball windmill pitch, the pitcher rotates her arm through just over half a circle, bringing the ball from a point above her shoulder and slightly forward to a release point below her shoulder and slightly forward. (Figure 1) shows smoothed data for the angular velocity of the upper arm of a college softball pitcher doing a windmill pitch; at time t = 0 her arm is vertical and already in motion. For the first 0.15 s there is a steady increase in speed, leading to a final push with a greater acceleration during the final 0.05 s before the release. In each part of the problem, determine the corresponding quantity during the first 0.15 s of the pitch.
Angular Velocity at time 0s = 12 rad/s
Angular Velocity at time 0.15s = 24 rad/s
a) What is the angular acceleration?
b) If the ball is 0.60 m from her shoulder, what is the tangential acceleration of the ball? This is the key quantity here--it's a measure of how much the ball is speeding up. Express your answer in m/s2 and in units of g
Answer:
a) the angular acceleration is 80 rad/s²
b) the tangential acceleration of the ball is;
- a = 48 m/s²
- a = 4.9 g
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
from the graph below;
Angular Velocity at time 0s = 12 rad/s
Angular Velocity at time 0.15s = 24 rad/s
a) What is the angular acceleration;
Angular acceleration ∝ = ( -
) / dt
we substitute
Angular acceleration ∝ = ( 24 - 12 ) / 0.15
Angular acceleration ∝ = 12 / 0.15
Angular acceleration ∝ = 80 rad/s²
Therefore, the angular acceleration is 80 rad/s²
b)
If the ball is 0.60 m from her shoulder, i.e s = 0.6 m
the tangential acceleration of the ball will be;
a = ∝ × s
we substitute
a = 80 × 0.6
a = 48 m/s²
a = ( 48 / 9.8 )g
a = 4.9 g
Therefore, the tangential acceleration of the ball is;
- a = 48 m/s²
- a = 4.9 g

Answer:
d) 1.2 mT
Explanation:
Here we want to find the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 2.5 mm from the axis of the coaxial cable.
First of all, we observe that:
- The internal cylindrical conductor of radius 2 mm can be treated as a conductive wire placed at the axis of the cable, since here we are analyzing the field outside the radius of the conductor. The current flowing in this conductor is
I = 15 A
- The external conductor, of radius between 3 mm and 3.5 mm, does not contribute to the field at r = 2.5 mm, since 2.5 mm is situated before the inner shell of the conductor (at 3 mm).
Therefore, the net magnetic field is just given by the internal conductor. The magnetic field produced by a wire is given by
where
is the vacuum permeability
I = 15 A is the current in the conductor
r = 2.5 mm = 0.0025 m is the distance from the axis at which we want to calculate the field
Substituting, we find:
