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 1
Answer:

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

A large rectangular tub is filled to a depth of 2.60 m with olive oil, which has density 915 kg/m3 . If the tub has length 5.00 m and width 3.00 m, calculate (a) the weight of the olive oil, (b) the force of air pressure on the sur- face of the oil, and (c) the pressure exerted upward by the bottom of the tub.

Answers

Answer:

weight is 3.50 x 10^5 N

force is 1.52 * 10^6 N

pressure is 1.25 * 10^5 Pa

Explanation:

given data

Given data

depth = 2.60 m

density = 915 kg/m3

length = 5.00 m

width = 3.00 m

to find out

weight of the olive oil, force of air pressure and the pressure exerted upward

solution

we know density = mass / volume

mass = density* width *length *depth

mass = (915)(3)(5)(2.60)

mass = 3.57 x 10^4 Kg

so weight = mg = 3.57 x 10^4 (9.81) = 3.50 x 10^5 N

weight is 3.50 x 10^5 N

and

we know force = pressure * area

area = 3 *5 = 15 m²

and we know atmospheric Pressure is about 1.01 * 10^5 Pa

so force = 1.01 * 10^5 (15) = 1.52 x 10^6 N

force is 1.52 * 10^6 N

and

we know Fup - Fdown = Weight

so

Fup = 1.52 *  10^6 + 3.50 *  10^5

Fup = 1.87 * 10^6 N

so pressure = Fup / area

pressure =  1.87 * 10^6  / 15

pressure is 1.25 * 10^5 Pa

A pilot performs an evasive maneuver by diving vertically at 270. If he can withstand an acceleration of 9.0 's without blacking out, at what altitude must he begin to pull out of the dive to avoid crashing into the sea? y= ?m

Answers

Answer:

The pilot must be began at an altitude of 826.53 m to avoid crash into the sea.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity = 270 m/s

Acceleration = 9.0g s

We need to calculate the altitude

Using formula of centripetal acceleration

a_(c)=(v^2)/(r)

r=(v^2)/(a_(c))

Where, v = velocity

r = altitude

a = acceleration

Put the value into the formula

r=(270^2)/(9.0*9.8)

r=826.53\ m

Hence, The pilot must be began at an altitude of 826.53 m to avoid crash into the sea.

Deci - unit * (1)/(10)

Centi - unit * (1)/(100)

Milli - unit * (1)/(100)

Kilometers and centimeters are five places apart apart, so you move the decimal point in 664.2 to the right five times, which means 664.2 km = 66420000 cm.

To avoid confusion on which direction to move the decimal point, imagine two shapes on each end of a scale. On each end, there is one large shape and one small shape. There has to be one of each on either side for it to balance. For this problem, a kilometer is a larger unit than a centimeter, so this means that the blank space needs to have a number greater than 664.2, or else the scale won't balance. Hope this helped.

1. Explain the change of state from solid dry ice to carbon dioxide gas.2. The motion of the particles in dry ice and carbon dioxide gas.

3. Explain how the original mass of dry ice compares with the mass of carbon dioxide gas.

Answers

1. Since the solid carbon dioxide never become liquid on melting under normal pressure. Thus through the process of sublimation, the solid carbon dioxide changes to gas

2. The molecules in dry ice, are in caged like structure just as the normal water ice but as it melts, the CO2 molecules having high affinity for gaseous state converts into a gas.

3. Dry ice is heavier than its gaseous form. Density of dry ice = 97.6 lb/cu.ft.

Density of carbon dioxide gas = 0.1144 lb/cu.ft.

With higher density and a fixed volume, mass of dry ice is higher than the CO2 gas

Circuit A in a house has a voltage of 218 V and is limited by a 45-A circuit breaker. Circuit B is at 120.0 V and has a 25-A circuit breaker.What is the ratio of the maximum power delivered by circuit A to that delivered by circuit B?

Answers

Answer:

3.27

Explanation:

Electric Power: This can be defined as the rate at which electric energy is consumed. The unit of power is Watt (W).

Mathematically, electric power is represented as

P = VI ..................................... Equation 1.

Where P = power, V = voltage, I = Current.

For Circuit A,

P₁ = V₁I₁ ................................... Equation 2

Where P₁ = maximum power delivered by circuit A, V₁ = Voltage of circuit A, I₁ = circuit breaker rating of circuit A.

Given: V₁ = 218 V, I₁ = 45 A.

Substituting into equation 2

P₁ = 218×45

P₁  = 9810 W.

For Circuit B,

P₂ = V₂I₂............................. Equation 3

Where P₂ = maximum power delivered by the circuit B, V₂ = voltage of circuit B, I₂ = circuit breaker rating of circuit B

Given: V₂ = 120 V, I₂ = 25 A.

Substitute into equation 3

P₂ = 120(25)

P₂ = 3000 W.

Ratio of maximum power delivered by circuit A to that delivered by circuit B = 9810/3000

= 3.27.

Thus the ratio of maximum power delivered by circuit A to circuit B = 3.27
