nolan ryan has the record for having the speediest fastball in baseball. he could pitch one at 148 i/sec. what is that speed in
1 answer:
The speed of the ball is 101miles/hr.
A mile is a unit of length that is exactly 1,609.344 metres long. Similarly, 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards make up one mile. The mile is an imperial and common US measurement of distance.
We just have to deal with unit conversions.
One mile is 5280 feet, or 1 ft = 0.000189
The speed of the ball in miles per hour is
So, the speed of the ball in miles per hour is 101miles/hr.

Answer:
The magnitude of the resultant displacement is 21 mi and its direction is 16.7° north of west
Explanation:
Hi there!
Please see the figure for a better understanding of the problem. The total displacement vector will be the sum of both displacements:
The vector for the first displacement is:
First displacement = (20 mi, 0)
The second displacement:
Second displacement = (0, 6.0 mi)
The resultant displacement will be:
R = (20 mi, 0) + (0, 6.0 mi) = (20 mi + 0, 0 + 6.0 mi) = (20 mi, 6.0 mi)
The magnitude of this vector will be:
The magnitude of the vector displacement is 21 mi.
To find the direction of the vector R, we have to apply trigonometry:
In a right triangle the following trigonometric rule applies:
cos θ = adjacent side to the angle/ hypotenuse
In this case:
cos θ = 20 mi / magnitude of R
θ = 16.7°
The direction of the vector is 16.7° north of west.
