In physics, when a baseball player catches a ball, which one of newtons laws is it an example of?

1 answer:

6 0

Its C newtons 3rd law, because both the ball and the player are exerting a force. The ball is exerting a force on the player and the player is exerting a force to bring the ball to a rest or a state where it isn’t moving.

We timed how long it took for the ball to travel 1 meter several times, so we could calculate an “average” time to use in the ve

damaskus [11]

We need to find the average speed of the ball during the motion of 1 m

In order to find that we took several reading and found following times to cover the distance of 1 m

t1 = 2.26 s

t2 = 2.38 s

t3 = 3.02 s

t4 = 2.26 s

t5 = 2.31 s

Now in order to find the average time we can write

$T_{mean} = \frac{t_1 + t_2 + t_3 + t_4 + t_5}{5}$

$T_{mean} = \frac{2.26 + 2.38 + 3.02 + 2.26 + 2.31}{5}$

$T_{mean} = 2.45 s$

So average time to cover the distance of 1 m by ball will be 2.45 s

here 3.02 s is not the average time but we can say it is the median of the readings of all possible values which we can not use in our calculation as average time

If a→=3i^-2j^-k^ and b→=i^+4j^+k^, find a unit vector n^ normal to the plane containing a→ and b→ such that a→, b→ and n^, in th

Vladimir [108]

vector a = 3i - 2j - k and vector b = i + 4j + k, the unit vector, n, normal to the plane is (7i - j + 7k)/3√11

What is a vector?

A vector is a quantity having direction as well as magnitude.

Vectors can especially be used in determining the position of one point in space relative to another.

From the question,

The normal vector to the plane is c = a × b

we have that, a = 3i - 2j - k and b = i + 4j + k,

c = a × b

c = (3i - 2j - k) × (i + 4j + k)

= 3i × i + (- 2j) × i + (-k) × i + 3i × 4j + (- 2j) × 4j + (-k) × 4j + 3i × k + (- 2j) × k + (-k) × k

= 3i × i - 2j × i - k × i + 12i × j - 8j × j - 4k × 4j + 3i × k - 2j × k - k × k

It is known that

i × i = 0,

j × j = 0 and

k × k = 0.

we also have that

c = 3(0) - 2(-k) - (-j) + 12k - 8(0) - 16(-i) + 3(-j) - 2i - 0

c = 0 + 2k + j + 12k - 0 + 16i - 3j - 2i

c = 16i - 2i + j - 3j + 2k + 12k

c = 14i -2j + 14k

The unit vector normal to the plane n = c/ |c|

where |c| is the magnitude of c

= √(14² + (-2)² + 14²) = √(196 + 4 + 196)

= √396

= √(36 × 11)

= 6√11

we can write that n = c/|c|

= (14i -2j + 14k)/6√11

we simplify further

= 2(7i - j + 7k)/6√11

= (7i - j + 7k)/3√11

So, the unit vector normal to the plane is (7i - j + 7k)/3√11
