Thus geology, meteorology, oceanography and anthropology developed into distinct sciences. Oceanography is the science which deals with the ocean, and since the ocean forms a large part of the earth's surface oceanography is a large department of geography.

A baseball player hits a homerun, and the ball lands in the left field seats, which is 103m away from the point at which the bal

Sati [7]

(a) The ball has a final velocity vector

$\mathbf v_f=v_{x,f}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,f}\,\mathbf j$

with horizontal and vertical components, respectively,

$v_{x,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos(-38^\circ)\approx16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_{y,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin(-38^\circ)\approx-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant throughout its trajectory, so $v_{x,i}=v_{x,f}$ , and the horizontal distance x that it covers after time t is

$x=v_{x,i}t=v_{x,f}t$

It lands 103 m away from where it's hit, so we can determine the time it it spends in the air:

$103\,\mathrm m=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\implies t\approx6.38\,\mathrm s$

The vertical component of the ball's velocity at time t is

$v_{y,f}=v_{y,i}-gt$

where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve for the vertical component of the initial velocity:

$-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=v_{y,i}-\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)\implies v_{y,i}\approx49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

So, the initial velocity vector is

$\mathbf v_i=v_{x,i}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,i}\,\mathbf j=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j$

which carries an initial speed of

$\|\mathbf v_i\|=\sqrt{{v_{x,i}}^2+{v_{y,i}}^2}\approx\boxed{52.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

and direction θ such that

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{y,i}}{v_{x,i}}\implies\theta\approx\boxed{72.0^\circ}$

(b) I assume you're supposed to find the height of the ball when it lands in the seats. The ball's height y at time t is

$y=v_{y,i}t-\dfrac12gt^2$

so that when it lands in the seats at t ≈ 6.38 s, it has a height of

$y=\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)^2\approx\boxed{119\,\mathrm m}$

Which of the following accurately describes the differences between the SI and English systems of measurement?

Digiron [165]

The best answer is D. The SI system, which is based on the metric system, has been more widely adopted than the English system, which is harder to use. In order to standardize measurements, the International System of Units or the SI units are commonly used around the world since they are more easy to understand and compare than the English unit.
