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

uranmaximum [27]

Explanation:

When a radioactive substance decays then the fast moving electrons emitted by it is known as beta ray. Basically, a number of beta particles are ejected by a beta ray.

Symbol of a beta particle is ^{0}_{-1}e. A beta ray is a natural decay of a radioactive element. As we know that opposite charges get attracted towards each other. So, a beta ray gets attracted towards a positively charged plate.

Therefore, we can conclude that following are the characterizes a beta ray:

  • a product of natural radioactive decay.
  • is attracted to the positively charged plate in an electric field.
  • is composed of electrons.

Which of these could NOT be used to find the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
34kurt
The "c) percent efficiency" could not be used to find the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane. There are two formulae that could be used to determine the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane which stated as MA = Length/rise and Wout=Win. MA is the mechanical advantage, Wout is the output force, Win is the input force, and "rise" is the height of the inclined plane<span>.</span>

nalin [4]
<span>1.7 rad/s The key thing here is conservation of angular momentum. The system as a whole will retain the same angular momentum. The initial velocity is 1.7 rad/s. As the person walks closer to the center of the spinning disk, the speed will increase. But I'm not going to bother calculating by how much. Just remember the speed will increase. And then as the person walks back out to the rim to the same distance that the person originally started, the speed will decrease. But during the entire walk, the total angular momentum remained constant. And since the initial mass distribution matches the final mass distribution, the final angular speed will match the initial angular speed.</span>
