They have the same velocity because their displacements (shortest line from point A to point B, which is a straight line) are the same and they meet at the same time.

Answer:

The batter and the fly ball have the same average velocity, i.e. no individual velocity is greater than the other.

Explanation:

First of all, it is worthy of note that in a baseball game, when the batter hits the ball, he is expected to immediately make a run in an attempt to catch the ball, by so doing, the batter has a greater chance of catching the ball before it hits the ground  and this is exactly what the batter has done in this practice.

1. The fly ball is hit and the batter runs immediately , this means the batter and the fly ball have the same start time t.

2. The batter catches the fly ball after certain time i.e. the same end time.

3. The batter runs in a straight line to catch the ball i.e. the displacement of both batter and fly ball from hit point to catch point is the same.

MATHEMATICALLY

D_{batter}  = D_{fly ball}

t_{batter}  = t_{fly ball}

Where D = Displacement and t = time

Average velocity  V = \frac{D}{t}

Where D_{batter}  = D_{fly ball}

and

t_{batter}  = t_{fly ball}

This means V_{batter}  = V_{fly ball}

What is the centripetal acceleration of the earth as it travels around the sun when Earth has an orbital radius of 1.5 x 10^11 m
masya89 [10]

Answer: 0.0058 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration a_{C} is calculated by the following equation:

a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}

Where:

V=29.7 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=29700 m/s is the Earth's orbital speed

r=1.5(10)^{11} m is the orbital radius

a_{C}=\frac{(29700 m/s)^{2}}{1.5(10)^{11} m}

a_{C}=0.0058 m/s^{2}

The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf is false. The kinetic energy on the shelf is zero because it is not in action.

A motorcycle accelerates from a stop at a rate of 4m/s 2 for 20 seconds. It then continues at a
8_murik_8 [283]

After 20 s, the motorcycle attains a speed of

\left(4\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(20\,\mathrm s)=80\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

and it continues at this speed for the next 40 s. So at 45 s, its speed is 80 m/s.
