Suppose a fast-pitch softball player does a windmill pitch, moving her hand through a circular arc with her arm straight. She releases the ball at a speed of 25.5 m/s (about 57.0 mph ). Just before the ball leaves her hand, the ball's radial acceleration is 1060 m/s2 . What is the length of her arm from the pivot point at her shoulder

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

61.3 cm

Explanation:

Radial acceleration of the object in circular motion is given by formula

a = (v^2)/(R)\n

Given:

a = 1060 m/s^2\nv = 25.5 m/s

 

Plugging in the values in the formula

1060 = (25.5^2)/(R)\nR = 0.613 m

so length of his arm is 61.3 cm

Professional baseball pitchers deliver pitches that can reach the blazing speed of 100 mph (miles per hour). A local team has drafted an up-and-coming, left-handed pitcher who can consistently pitch at 42.91 m/s (96.00 mph) . Assuming a pitched ball has a mass of 0.1434 kg and has this speed just before a batter makes contact with it, how much kinetic energy does the ball have?

Answers

Answer: 132.02 J

Explanation:

By definition, the kinetic energy is written as follows:

KE = 1/2 m v²

In our question, we know from the question, the following information:

m = 0.1434 Kg

v= 42.91 m/s

Replacing in the equation for KE, we have:

KE = 1/2 . 0.1434 Kg. (42.91)² m²/s² ⇒ KE = 132.02 N. m = 132.02 J

The focal length of a concave mirror is 17.5 cm. An object is located 38.5 cm in front of this mirror. How far in front of the mirror is the image located?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

object distance u = 38.5 cm ( negative )

focal length f = 17.5 cm ( negative )

mirror formula

1 / v + 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / v - 1 / 38.5 =  - 1 / 17.5

1 / v = -  1 / 17.5 + 1 / 38.5

= - 0 .03116

v = - 1 / .03116 = - 32 cm

Image will be formed in front of the mirror at 32 cm distance .

A pressure antinode in a sound wave is a region of high pressure, while a pressure node is a region of low pressure.True
False

Answers

A pressure antinode in a sound wave is not a region of high pressure, while a pressure node is not a region of low pressure.

The answer is false

Final answer:

A pressure antinode in a sound wave is indeed a region of high pressure, while a pressure node is a region of low pressure. These definitions hold true for all types of waves.

Explanation:

That's true. In terms of sound waves, a pressure antinode is a region of high pressure, while a pressure node is a region of low pressure. This is true for all types of waves, not only sound waves. In essence, a wave moves through a medium (in case of a sound wave, that medium is typically air) by creating areas of high and low pressure - the high pressure areas are called antinodes, and the low pressure areas are called nodes.

Two astronauts on opposite ends of a spaceship are comparing lunches. One has an apple, the other has an orange. They decide to trade. Astronaut 1 tosses the 0.110 kg apple toward astronaut 2 with a speed of vi,1 = 1.13 m/s . The 0.150 kg orange is tossed from astronaut 2 to astronaut 1 with a speed of 1.25 m/s . Unfortunately, the fruits collide, sending the orange off with a speed of 0.977 m/s in the negative y direction.

Answers

the final velocity of the apple after the collision is approximately 0.758m/s in the positive x-direction.

To solve this problem, we can use the principle of conservation of linear momentum. The total momentum before the collision should equal the total momentum after the collision.

Let's set up our coordinate system with the x-axis pointing to the right and the y-axis pointing upward. Astronaut 1 is tossing the apple in the positive x-direction, so the velocity of the apple (v1) will be positive. Astronaut 2 is tossing the orange in the negative x-direction, so the velocity of the orange (v2) will be negative.

The conservation of linear momentum equation is as follows:

m1∗v1+m2∗v2=m1∗vf1+m2∗vf2

Where:

m1 is the mass of the apple (0.110 kg)

v1 is the initial velocity of the apple (1.13 m/s)

m2 is the mass of the orange (0.150 kg)

v2 is the initial velocity of the orange (−1.25 m/s, as it's in the negative x-direction)

vf1 is the final velocity of the apple (which we need to find)

vf2 is the final velocity of the orange (−0.977 m/s)

Now, we can plug in these values and solve for vf1:

0.110kg∗1.13m/s+0.150kg∗(−1.25m/s)=0.110kg∗vf1+0.150kg∗(−0.977m/s)

0.1243kg∗m/s−0.1875kg∗m/s=0.110kg∗vf1−0.14655kg∗m/s

Now, let's isolate vf1:

0.1243kg∗m/s−0.1875kg∗m/s+0.14655kg∗m/s=0.110kg∗vf1

0.0834kg∗m/s=0.110kg∗vf1

Now, divide by 0.110kg to find vf1:

vf1=0.0834kg∗m/s/0.110kg=0.758m/s

So, the final velocity of the apple after the collision is approximately 0.758m/s in the positive x-direction.

Answer:

The speed and direction of the apple is 1.448 m/s and 66.65°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of apple = 0.110 kg

Speed = 1.13 m/s

Mass of orange = 0.150 kg

Speed = 1.25 m/s

Suppose we find the final speed and direction of the apple in this case

Using conservation of momentum:

Before:

In x direction,

P_(b)=m_(p)v_(p)-m_(o)v_(o)

P_(b)=0.110*1.13-0.150*1.25

P_(b)=−0.0632\ kg-m/s

In y direction = 0

After:

v_(ay) is velocity of the apple in the y direction

v_(ax) is the velocity of the apple in the x direction

Momentum again:

In x direction,

0.110* v_(ax)+0=−0.0632

v_(x)=(−0.0632)/(0.110)

v_(x)=−0.574\ m/s

In y-direction,

0.110* v_(ay)-0.150*0.977=0

v_(ay)=(0.150*0.977)/(0.110)

v_(ay)=1.33\ m/s

We need to calculate the speed of apple

v_(a)=\sqrt{(v_(x))^2+(v_(y))^2}

Put the value into the formula

v_(a)=√((−0.574)^2+(1.33)^2)

v_(a)=1.448\ m/s

We need to calculate the direction of the apple

Using formula of angle

\tan\theta=(v_(ay))/(v_(ax))

Put the value into the formula

\theta=\tan^(-1)((1.33)/(0.574))

\theta=66.65^(\circ)

Hence, The speed and direction of the apple is 1.448 m/s and 66.65°.

D. Asin(kx+ωt)

Answers

The definition of standing wave and trigonometry allows to find the results for the questions about the waves are:

      1. For the standing wave its parts are: spatial y_e = A' \ sin \ kx  and

         temporal part y_t = A' \ cos \ wt

      2. The string moves with an oscillating motion  y = A’ cos wt.

      3. Thefirst displacement is zero for  t = (\pi )/(2w)  

      4. the correct result is:

          A. The wave is traveling in the +x direction.

      5. The correct result is:

          D. Asin(kx+ωt)

Traveling waves are periodic movements of the media that transport energy, but not matter, the expression to describe it is:

       y₁ = A sin (kx -wt)

Where A is the amplitude of the wave k the wave vector, w the angular velocity and x the position and t the time.

1. Ask us to find the spatial and temporal part of the standing wave.

To form the standing wave, two waves must be added, the reflected wave is:

       y₂ = A sin (kx + wt)

The sum of a waves

       y = y₁ + y₂

       y = A (sin kx-wt + sin kx + wt)

We develop the sine function and add.

       Sin (a ± b) = sin a cos b ± sin b cos a

The result is:

       y = 2A sin kx cos wt

They ask that the function be unitary therefore

The amplitude  of each string

        A_ {chord} = A_ {standing wave} / 2

The spatial part is

          y_e= A 'sin kx

The temporary part is:

          y_t = A ’cos wt

2. At position x = 0, what is the displacement of the string?

          y = A ’cos wt

The string moves in an oscillating motion.

3. At what point the string is straight.

When the string is straight its displacement is zero x = 0, the position remains.

           y = A ’cos wt

For the amplitude of the chord to be zero, the cosine function must be zero.

           wt = (2n + 1) (\pi)/(2)  

the first zero occurs for n = 0

          wt = (\pi )/(2)  

           t = (\pi )/(2w)

4) The traveling wave described in the statement is traveling in the positive direction of the x axis, therefore the correct statement is:

         A. The wave is traveling in the +x direction.

5) The wave traveling in the opposite direction is

            y₂ = A sin (kx + wt)

The correct answer is:

            D.     Asin(kx+ωt)

In conclusion using the definition of standing wave and trigonometry we can find the results for the questions about the waves are:

     1. For the standing wave its parts are: spatial y_e = A' \ sin \ kx  and

         temporal part y_t = A' \ cos \ wt

      2. The string moves with an oscillating motion  y = A’ cos wt.

      3. Thefirst displacement is zero for  t = (\pi )/(2w)  

      4. the correct result is:

          A. The wave is traveling in the +x direction.

      5. The correct result is:

          D. Asin(kx+ωt)
