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

Energy transformation in wound spring of a toy car?<br>give your own answrr​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The work done in winding the spring gets stored in the wound up spring in the form of elastic potential energy (i.e potential energy due to change in shape). ... During this process, the potential energy stored in it gets converted to kinetic energy. This turns the wheels of the toy car.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a An increase in the speed will lower the internal pressure

Explanation:

Bernoulli's fluid formula

P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2+\rho gh_1=P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2+\rho gh_2

where

P = Pressure

ρ = Density of fluid

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h = Height

v = Velocity of fluid

If there is no change in height then we get

P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2=P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\Rightarrow P+\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2=constant

According to the Bernoulli's principle when the speed of the fluid is larger in a region of streamline flow the pressure is smaller in that region. From the above equation it can be seen that increase in speed should simultaneously reduce pressure in order for their sum to be constant.
