A baseball pitcher throws a ball at 90.0 mi/h in the horizontal direction. How far does the ball fall vertically by the time it

reaches home plate, which is a horizontal distance of 60.5 ft away? (Express your answer in units of feet. Neglect air resistance.)

Answer:

Vertical distance=  3.3803ft

Explanation:

First with the speed of the ball and the distance traveled horizontally we can determine the flight time to reach the plate:

Velocity= (90 mi/h) × (1 mile/5280ft) = 475200ft/h

Distance= Velocity × time⇒ time= 60.5ft / (475200ft/h) = 0.00012731h

time=  0.00012731h × (3600s/h)= 0.458316s

With this time we can determine the distance traveled vertically taking into account that its initial vertical velocity is zero and its acceleration is that of gravity, 9.81m/s²:

Vertical distance= (1/2) × 9.81 (m/s²) × (0.458316s)²=1.0303m

Vertical distance= 1.0303m × (1ft/0.3048m) = 3.3803ft

This is the vertical distance traveled by the ball from the time it is thrown by the pitcher until it reaches the plate, regardless of air resistance.

A solid uniform sphere of mass 1.85 kg and diameter 45.0 cm spins about an axle through its center. Starting with an angular vel
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The net torque is 0.0372 N m.

Explanation:

A rotational body with constant angular acceleration satisfies the kinematic equation:

\omega^{2}=\omega_{0}^{2}+2\alpha\Delta\theta (1)

with ω the final angular velocity, ωo the initial angular velocity, α the constant angular acceleration and Δθ the angular displacement (the revolutions the sphere does). To find the angular acceleration we solve (1) for α:

\frac{\omega^{2}-\omega_{0}^{2}}{2\Delta\theta}=\alpha

Because the sphere stops the final angular velocity is zero, it's important all quantities in the SI so 2.40 rev/s = 15.1 rad/s and 18.2 rev = 114.3 rad, then:

\alpha=-\frac{-(15.1)^{2}}{2(114.3)}=1.00\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

The negative sign indicates the sphere is slowing down as we expected.

Now with the angular acceleration we can use Newton's second law:

\sum\overrightarrow{\tau}=I\overrightarrow{\alpha} (2)

with ∑τ the net torque and I the moment of inertia of the sphere, for a sphere that rotates about an axle through its center its moment of inertia is:

I = \frac{2MR^{2}}{5}

With M the mass of the sphere an R its radius, then:

I = \frac{2(1.85)(\frac{0.45}{2})^{2}}{5}=0.037 kg*m^2

Then (2) is:

\sum\overrightarrow{\tau}=0.037(-1.00)=0.037 Nm

An amusement park ride raises people high into the air, suspends them for a moment, and then drops them at a rate of free-fall a
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: apparent weighlessness.


Explanation:


1) Balance of forces on a person falling:


i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).


ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).


iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).


2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.


3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.


Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.

In fact, the total energy of the rock when it <span>leaves the thrower's hand is the sum of the gravitational potential energy U and of the initial kinetic energy K:

A particular string resonates in four loops at a frequency of 320 Hz . Name at least three other (smaller) frequencies at which
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

160 Hz  ,  240 Hz  , 400 Hz

Explanation:

Given that

Frequency of forth harmonic is 320 Hz.

Lets take fundamental frequency = f₁

f_1=\dfrac{320}{4}\ Hz

f₁=80 Hz

Frequency of first harmonic = f₂

f₂=2 f₁

f₂ =2 x 80 = 160 Hz

Frequency of second harmonic = f₃

f₃= 3 f₁=3 x 80 = 240 Hz

Frequency of fifth harmonic = f₅

f₅=  5 f₁= 5 x 80 = 400 Hz

Three frequencies are as follows

160 Hz  ,  240 Hz  , 400 Hz

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
