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

Suppose you are asked to find the amount of time t, in seconds, it takes for the turntable to reach its final rotational speed.
Annette [7]

Answer:

option (D)

Explanation:

Here initial rotation speed is given, final rotation speed is given and asking for time.

If we use

A) θ=θ0+ω0t+(1/2)αt2

For this equation, we don't have any information about the value of angular displacement and angular acceleration, so it is not useful.

B) ω=ω0+αt

For this equation, we don't have any information about angular acceleration, so it is not useful.

C) ω2=ω02+2α(θ−θ0)

In this equation, time is not included, so it is not useful.

D) So, more information is needed.

Thus, option (D) is true.

Three cars (car F, car G, and car H) are moving with the same speed and slam on their brakes. The most massive car is car F, and
Crazy boy [7]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Normal Force, frictional force, kinematic equations of motion and Newton's second law.

From the kinematic equations of motion we know that the relationship of acceleration, velocity and distance is given by

v_f^2=v_i^2+2ax

Where,

v_f = Final velocity

v_i = Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

x = Displacement

Acceleration can be expressed in terms of the drag coefficient by means of

F_f = \mu_k (mg)  \rightarrowFrictional Force

F = ma \rightarrow Force by Newton's second Law

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

\mu_k = Kinetic frictional coefficient

g = Gravity

Equating both equation we have that

F_f = F

\mu_k mg=ma

a = \mu_k g

Therefore,

v_f^2=v_i^2+2ax

0=v_i^2+2(\mu_k g)x

Re-arrange to find x,

x = \frac{v_i^2}{2(-\mu_k g)}

The distance traveled by the car depends on the coefficient of kinetic friction, acceleration due to gravity and initial velocity, therefore the three cars will stop at the same distance.
