Answer:

The pitching speed of the ball is 19.7 m/s

Explanation:

Here, we can use the third equation of motion, $v^{2} = u^{2} - 2as$

whereas v represents the final velocity, u represents initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity and s is the displacement or distance an object traveled

Here, the initial velocity of the the ball is given as zero and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 , the distance 's' is given as 20 m

Using the equation, $v^{2} = 2 * 9.8 * 20 = 392\\v = \sqrt{392} = 19.7m/s$

Hence, the pitching speed of the ball is 19.7 m/s

amid [387]

Kinetic energy increases with the square of the velocity (KE=1/2*m*v^2). If the velocity is doubled, the KE quadruples. Therefore, the stopping distance should increase by a factor of four, assuming that the driver is can apply the brakes with sufficient precision to almost lock the brakes.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

W = 0.842 J

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we can use the relationship between work and kinetic energy

W = ΔK

In this case the kinetic energy at point A is zero since the system is stopped

W = K_f (1)

now let's use conservation of energy

starting point. Highest point A

Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lowest point B

Em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved

Em₀ = Em_f

mg h = K

to find the height let's use trigonometry

at point A

cos 35 = x / L

x = L cos 35

so at the height is

h = L - L cos 35

h = L (1-cos 35)

we substitute

K = m g L (1 -cos 35)

we substitute in equation 1

W = m g L (1 -cos 35)

let's calculate

W = 0.500 9.8 0.950 (1 - cos 35)

W = 0.842 J

SP: Calculate the moment

ipn [44]

Answer:

Moment of the force is 20 N-m.

Explanation:

Given:

Force exerted by the person is, $F=80\ N$

Distance of application of force from the point about which moment is needed is, $d=25\ cm=\frac{25}{100}\ m=0.25\ m$

Now, we know that, moment of a force 'F' about a point at a perpendicular distance of 'd' from the same point is given as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance.

Therefore, the moment of the force about the end of the claw hammer is given as:

$M=F\times d\\\\M=(80\ N)(0.25\ m)\\\\M=20\textrm{ N-m}$

Hence, the moment of the force exerted by the person about the end of the claw hammer is 20 N-m.
