A major-league pitcher can throw a baseball in excess of 41.0 m/s. If a ball is thrown horizontally at this speed, how much will

it drop by the time it reaches a catcher who is 17.0 m away from the point of release?

Answer:

Ball will drop by 0.82 meter.

Explanation:

Horizontal speed = 41 m/s

Horizontal displacement = 17 m

Horizontal acceleration = 0 m/s²

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

    17 = 41 t + 0.5 x 0 x t²

     t = 0.41 s

Now we need to find how much vertical distance ball travels in 0.41 s.

Initial vertical speed = 0 m/s

Time = 0.41s

Vertical acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

    s = 0 x 0.41 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 0.41²

    s = 0.82 m

So ball will drop by 0.82 meter.

Absorbed solar radiation undergoes irreversible degradations, transferring from reservoir to another and ends up as what?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Absorbed solar radiation undergoes irreversible degradations, transferring from reservoir to another converting from light energy to radiation energy.

Explanation:

The solar energy cycle functions in the following form:

  • Considering that 100% of energy is directed at earth.
  • When 100% light is incident on the Earth's surface about 6-7% of it is reflected back by the atmosphere into space.
  • 20% is reflected back by the clouds.
  • And about 4% is reflected back by Earth's surface.
  • 16% of solar energy is absorbed by the atmosphere, 3% is absorbed by clouds and 51% is absorbed by  land and ocean.
  • From the absorbed energy, 64% is radiated back to space from clouds and atmosphere and 6% is directly radiated back to space from earth.
  • From the radiated energy 15% is absorbed by the atmosphere and 23% is carried by the clouds and atmosphere through the latent heat in water vapor.

Therefore, absorbed solar radiation undergoes irreversible degradations, transferring from reservoir to another converting from light energy to radiation energy.

The large blade of a helicopter is rotating in a horizontal circle. The length of the blade is 7.26 m, measured from its tip to
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

\frac{a_1}{a_2}=1.67

Explanation:

The equation for centripetal acceleration is a_{cp}=r\omega^2. If r_1=7.26m is the distance from the center of the point at the tip of the blade and r_2=4.35m is the distance from the center of another point in the blade, and since both points are rotating at the same angular velocity \omega because both of them belong to the blade, the ratio between their centripetal accelerations will be:

\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{r_1 \omega^2}{r_2 \omega^2}=\frac{7.26m}{4.35m}=1.67
