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.

What change happens when matter<br> changes states?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid. For a solid to change to a liquid, matter must absorb energy from its surroundings.

A moving object is in equilibrium. Which best describes the motion of the object if no forces change?
Alchen [17]
If the object is in equilibrium that means that the sum of the forces on it is zero and the net force is zero. If none of the forces changes then the object continues in constant uniform motion. That means constant speed in a straight line.
