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.

Resonance occurs when an object vibrating at or near the resonant frequency of a second object to vibrate. What form of waves ar
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Resonance depends on objects, this may happen for example when you play guitar in a given room, you may find that for some notes the walls or some object vibrate more than for others. This is because those notes are near the frequency of resonance of the walls.

So waves involved are waves that can move or affect objects (in this case the pressure waves of the sound, and the waves that are moving the wall).

this means that the waves are mechanic waves.

Now, in electromagnetics, you also can find resonance frequencies for electromagnetic waves trapped in things called cavities, but this is a different topic.

Maru [420]

Myopia

Explanation:

myopia is a common vision condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. It occurs when the shape of your eye causes light rays to refract incorrectly, focusing images in front of your retina instead of on your retina. It can be corrected corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.
