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 string with a length of 4.00 m is held under a constant tension. The string has a linear mass density of \mu=0.000600~\text{kg
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

T=245.76N

Explanation:

We know that the frequency of the nth harmonic is given by f_n=nf, where f is the fundamental harmonic. Since we have the values of two consecutive frequencies, we can do:

f_{n+1}-f_n=(n+1)f-nf=nf+f-nf=f

Which for our values means (we do not need the value of <em>n</em>, that is, which harmonics are the frequencies given):

f=f_{n+1}-f_n=480Hz-400Hz=80Hz

Now we turn to the formula for the vibration frequency of a string (for the fundamental harmonic):

f=\frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

So the tension is:

T=\mu(2Lf)^2

Which for our values is:

T=(0.0006kg/m)(2(4m)(80Hz))^2=245.76N

How can submarines use echolocation to tell how close they are to the bottom of the ocean?
Lapatulllka [165]
To locate a specific target or to determine how close submarines are to the seafloor, they use active and passive sound navigation and ranging (or a SONAR, in simple terms.) It emits pulses of sound waves that travel through the water, reflect off the target and relayed back to the ship. By determining how fast the sound wave travels back, the computers on the sub calculate how far they are from the target.

Hope this helps.
