Answer:

Pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²

Explanation:

Force applied on baseball = 30 times weight of the ball.

Weight of ball = mg, where m is the mass of ball and g is acceleration due to gravity value.

We have force applied is also equal to product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma = 30 x mg

a = 30g

So, pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²

Follow these steps to solve this problem: Two identical loudspeakers, speaker 1 and speaker 2, are 2.0 m apart and are emitting

horsena [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wave length of sound from each of the speakers = 340 / 1700 = .2 m = 20 cm

Distance between first speaker and the given point = 4 m.

Distance between second speaker and the given sound

= √ 4² + 2² = √16 +4 = √20 = 4.472 m

Path difference = 4.472 - 4 = .4722 m.

Path difference / wave length = 0.4772 / 0.2 = 2.386

This is a fractional integer which is neither an odd nor an even multiple of half wavelength. Hence this point of neither a perfect constructive nor a perfect destructive interference.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the height of the tree is y and the distance of tree from point B is x.

According to the diagram

$tan61 = \frac{y}{x}$

x = 0.55 y ..... (1)

$tan49.5 = \frac{y}{50+x}$

(50 + 0.55y) 1.17 = y ..... from equation (1)

58.5 + 0.644 y = y

0.356 y = 58.5

y = 164.3 ft

Answer:

x2 = 0.99

Explanation:

from superheated water table

at pressure p1 = 0.6MPa and temperature 200 degree celcius

h1 = 2850.6 kJ/kg

From energy equation we have following relation

$\dot m( h1+\frac{v1^2}{2}+ gz1 )+ Q = \dot m( h2+\frac{v2^2}{2}+ gz1) + W$

$\dot m( h1+\frac{v1^2}{2}) = \dot m( h2+\frac{v2^2}{2})$

$h1+\frac{v1^2}{2} = h2+\frac{v2^2}{2}$

$2850.6 + [\frac{50^2}{2} * \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/S^2}] = h2 +[ \frac{600^2}{2} * \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/S^2}]$

h2 = 2671.85 kJ/kg

from superheated water table

at pressure p2 = 0.15MPa

specific enthalpy of fluid hf = 467.13 kJ/kg

enthalpy change hfg = 2226.0 kJ/kg

specific enthalpy of the saturated gas hg = 2693.1 kJ/kg

as it can be seen from above value hf>h2>hg, so phase 2 is two phase region. so we have

quality of steam x2

h2 = hf + x2(hfg)

2671.85 = 467.13 +x2*2226.0

x2 = 0.99
