A 50 kg pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 0.15 kg. If the ball is thrown with a positive velocity of 35 m/s and there is

no net force on the system, what is the velocity of the pitcher?

The velocity of the pitcher is <u>0.105 m/s</u> in a direction opposite to the velocity of the ball.

When no external force acts on a system, the total momentum of the system is conserved. The total initial momentum of the system is equal to the total final momentum of the system.

The pitcher and the ball are initially at rest, therefore, the total initial momentum of the system is zero.

Since no external forces act on the system comprising of pitcher and the ball, the total final momentum of the system is also equal to zero.

If the mass of the pitcher is mp and its speed is vp, the mass of the ball is mb and the ball's speed is vb, then the final momentum of the system of pitcher and the ball is given by,

p=m_pv_p+m_bv_b=0

Therefore,

v_p=-\frac{m_b}{m_p} v_p

Substituet 0.15 kg for mb, 50 kg for mp and 35 m/s for vb.

v_p=-\frac{m_b}{m_p} v_p=-\frac{0.15 kg}{50 kg} (35m/s)=-0.105 m/s

The pitcher has a velocity <u> 0.105 m/s</u> opposite to the direction of the velocity of the ball.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Second drop: 1.04 m

First drop: 1.66 m

Explanation:

Assuming the droplets are not affected by aerodynamic drag.

They are in free fall, affected only by gravity.

I set a frame of reference with the origin at the nozzle and the positive X axis pointing down.

We can use the equation for position under constant acceleration.

X(t) = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a *t^2

x0 = 0

a = 9.81 m/s^2

v0 = 0

Then:

X(t) = 4.9 * t^2

The drop will hit the floor when X(t) = 1.9

1.9 = 4.9 * t^2

t^2 = 1.9 / 4.9

t = \sqrt{0.388} = 0.62 s

That is the moment when the 4th drop begins falling.

Assuming they fall at constant interval,

Δt = 0.62 / 3 = 0.2 s (approximately)

The second drop will be at:

X2(0.62) = 4.9 * (0.62 - 1*0.2)^2 = 0.86 m

And the third at:

X3(0.62) = 4.9 * (0.62 - 2*0.2)^2 = 0.24 m

The positions are:

1.9 - 0.86 = 1.04 m

1.9 - 0.24 = 1.66 m

above the floor

A baseball pitcher throws the ball towards the batter at 90 mph. His bat connects with the ball for a line drive, after which th
forsale [732]

Answer:

F=-18412.9N, where the minus indicates the direction is opposite to that of the throw.

Explanation:

a)

Since MKS stands for meter-kilogram-second and we know that:

1\ hour = 3600\ seconds

1\ mile = 1600\ meters

1000g = 1kg

We can write that:

\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds}=1

\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile}=1

\frac{1kg}{1000g}=1

These are conversion factors, equal to 1, so multiplying our results by them won't change their value, only their units.

So we have that:

90 mph=90 \frac{miles}{hour}(\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds})(\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile})=40m/s

110 mph=110 \frac{miles}{hour}(\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds})(\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile})=48.89m/s

145 g=145 g(\frac{1kg}{1000g})=0.145kg

b)

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma, and the definition of acceleration is a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}, so we have:

F=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

Taking the throw direction as the positive one, for our values we have:

F=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}=(0.145kg)\frac{(-48.89m/s)-(+40m/s)}{0.0007s}=-18412.9N
