At a baseball game, the batter hit a fly ball at time t = 0 s. The outfielder caught the ball at t = 5.8 s. When was the ball at

maximum elevation? Assume that the baseball was at the same height above the ground when it was hit and caught, and that air resistance is negligible.

We have the following equation for height:
 h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
 Where,
 a: acceleration
 vo: initial speed
 h0: initial height.
 The value of the acceleration is:
 a = -g = -9.8 m / s ^ 2
 For t = 0 we have:
 h (0) = (1/2) * (a) * 0 ^ 2 + vo * 0 + h0
 h (0) = h0
 h0 = 0 (reference system equal to zero when the ball is hit).
 For t = 5.8 we have:
 h (5.8) = (1/2) * (- 9.8) * (5.8) ^ 2 + vo * (5.8) + 0
 (1/2) * (- 9.8) * (5.8) ^ 2 + vo * (5.8) + 0 = 0
 vo = (1/2) * (9.8) * (5.8)
 vo = 28.42
 Substituting values we have:
 h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
 h (t) = (1/2) * (- 9.8) * t ^ 2 + 28.42 * t + 0
 Rewriting:
 h (t) = -4.9 * t ^ 2 + 28.42 * t
 The maximum height occurs when:
 h '(t) = -9.8 * t + 28.42
 -9.8 * t + 28.42 = 0
 t = 28.42 / 9.8
 t = 2.9 seconds.
 Answer:
 
The ball was at maximum elevation when:
 
t = 2.9 seconds.

Answer:

2.9 s

Explanation:

Vertical Displacement is zero because the initial and final height above the ground is same.

Total time of flight is = 5.8 s

The time taken by ball to reach the maximum elevation is same as the time to fall back the same height. The time at which the ball was at maximum elevation is half the time of flight.

Thus, the time at which the ball was at maximum elevation = \frac{5.8s}{2}= 2.9s

Trevor places a mass on a spring. When he releases it, the mass and spring move in simple harmonic motion.
777dan777 [17]

The correct answer is D He could pull the mass down farther.

Amplitude, is the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. So to increase the amplitude the spring should be pulled down further which can increase the amplitude.

A 0.500-kg stone is moving in a vertical circular path attached to a string that is 75.0 cm long. The stone is moving around the
Semenov [28]

Answer:

B. 7.07 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the stone when it leaves the circular path is its tangential velocity, v, which is given by

v=\omega r

where \omega is the angular speed and r is the radius of the circular path.

\omega is given by

\omega = 2\pi f

where f is the frequency of revolution.

Thus

v=2\pi fr

Using values from the question,

v=2\pi\times 1.50\times0.75

<em>Note the conversion of 75 cm to 0.75 m</em>

v=2\times3.14\times 1.50\times0.75 = 9.42\times0.75 = 7.065=7.07

Answer:

Research towards increasing the understanding of progressive illnesses, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.

Explanation:

The Yerkes Primate center was established in 1930 by Robert Yerkes, in Orange Park, Florida. But was moved to its present location in Emory University.

The center has its focus on two major area of research, which are  Immunology and Vaccine, and research towards  increasing the understanding of progressive illnesses, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
