a baseball player is dashing toward home plate with a speed of 200 feet per hour. When he decides to hit the dirt. he slides for

1.3 seconds, just reaching the plate as he stops (he’s safe). a) what is the magnitude and direction of the player’s acceleration? b) how far did he slide?

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic formula for the final velocity.


V_f_x = V_0_x + a_xt


The final speed is 0 at the moment the player stops.


The time until it stops is 1.3 s


The initial speed is 200 feet / s  Note (check the speed units in the problem statement, 200ft / s is very much and 200ft / h is very small)

Then, we clear the formula.


a_x = \frac{(Vfx-V0x)}{t}\\ a_x = \frac{(0-200)}{1.3}\\ a_x = -153.5 ft / s ^ 2

Because the player is slowing down, the acceleration goes in the opposite direction to the player's movement, and that is why it is negative.



To answer part b) we use the following formula.


Vf ^ 2 = Vo ^ 2 + 2a * (x_2 - x_1)\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(V_f ^ 2-V_0 ^ 2)}{2a}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(0-200 ^ 2)}{- 2 * 153.5}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= 130.29 feet

A car travels 82 meters do North and 14 seconds the car turns around and travels 44 m due south in four seconds what is the magn
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

2.11 m/s

Explanation:

Take north to be positive and south to be negative.

Average velocity = displacement / time

v = (82 m + -44 m) / (14 s + 4 s)

v = 2.11 m/s

The velocity is positive, so it is 2.11 m/s north.  The magnitude of the velocity is 2.11 m/s.

Un bloque de 25 n se encuentra suspendido por un hilo al techo vitamina la tensión que aparece en el hilo
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

T = 25 N

Explanation:

The question says that "A 25 n block is suspended by a wire from the ceiling vitamin the tension that appears in the wire ?"

Weight of the block, W = 25 N

Weight of a body acts in downward direction and tension acts in upward direction. It would mean that,

Tension = weight of the block

T = mg

T = 25 N

Hence, the tension in the wire is 25 N.
