Answer:

The maximum height of the ball is 34.5 m.

The ball is 5.31 s in the air.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations for the height and velocity of the baseball that is hit straight up are as follows:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height of the baseball at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity at time t.

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the place where the baseball is hit, then, y0 = 0.

To calculate how high it goes, we have to obtain the time at which the ball is at maximum height. At that point, the velocity is 0. Then using the equation of velocity:

v = v0 + g · t

0 = 26 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

-26 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 2.65 s

The height at that time will be the maximum height:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t² (y0 = 0)

y = 26 m/s · 2.65 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (2.65 s)²

y = 34.5 m

The maximum height of the ball is 34.5 m

If it takes the ball 2.65 s to reach the maximum height it will take another 2.65 s to return to the initial position. Then, the time it will be in the air is (2.65 s + 2.65 s) 5.30 s. However, let´s calculate the time it takes the ball to reach the initial position using the equation for height.

At the initial position y = 0. Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t² (y0 = 0)

0 = 26 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = t (26 m/s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t) (t = 0 when the ball is hit)

0 = 26 m/s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t

-26 / -4.9 m/s² = t

t = 5.31 s ( the difference with the 5.30 s obtained above is due to rounding the time to 2.65 s).

The ball is 5.31 s in the air.

Have a nice day!

A race car travels 44.3 m/s around a banked (45° with the horizontal) circular (radius = 200 m) track. What is the magnitude of

djverab [1.8K]

The magnitude of the resultant force is given by the centripetal force, since the car is under a circular motion. So, we have:

$F_c=ma_c$

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Where v is the linear speed and r the radius of the circular motion. Replacing this and solving:

$F=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\F=80kg\frac{(44.3\frac{m}{s})^2}{200m}\\F=785N*\frac{1kN}{1000N}\\F=0.785kN$

A wire loop of radius 0.37 m lies so that an external magnetic field of magnitude 0.35 T is perpendicular to the loop. The field

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

168.57 mV

Explanation:

Initial magnetic flux = BA , B magnetic field and A is area of loop

= .35 x 3.14 x .37²

= .15 Weber

Final magnetic flux

= - .2 x 3.14 x .37²

= - .086 Weber

change in flux

.15 + .086

= .236 Weber

rate of change of flux

= .236 / 1.4

= .16857 V

= 168.57 mV

A 0.5-kilogram apple falls from a height of 2 meters to 1.50 meters. Ignoring frictional effects, what is the kinetic energy of

spin [16.1K]

The final kinetic energy of the ball is 2.45 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In absence of frictional effect, the mechanical energy of the apple must be conserved during the fall. So we can write:

$U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f$

where :

$U_i$ is the initial potential energy, at the top

$K_i$ is the initial kinetic energy, at the top

$U_f$ is the final potential energy, at the bottom

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy, at the bottom

By explicing the potential energy, we can rewrite the equation as:

$mgh_i + K_i = mgh_f + K_f$

where:

m = 0.5 kg is the mass of the apple

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$h_i = 2 m$ is the initial height

$h_f=1.50 m$ is the final height

The initial kinetic energy is zero, since the ball starts from rest:

$K_i = 0$

Therefore we can solve the equation for $K_f$ , the final kinetic energy of the ball:

$K_f = mg(h_i-h_f)=(0.5)(9.8)(2-1.50)=2.45 J$

Air bags are designed to deploy in 10 ms. Given that the air bags expand 20 cm as they deploy, estimate the acceleration of the

joja [24]

As it is given that the air bag deploy in time

$t = 10 ms = 0.010 s$

total distance moved by the front face of the bag

$d = 20 cm = 0.20 m$

Now we will use kinematics to find the acceleration

$d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$0.20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a*0.010^2$

$0.20 = 5 * 10^{-5}* a$

$a = 4000 m/s^2$

now as we know that

$g = 10 m/s^2$

so we have

$a = 400g$

so the acceleration is 400g for the front surface of balloon
