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

Economic growth can be illustrated by: a. ​ an inward shift of the production possibilities curve. b. ​ a movement along the pro
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Economic growth can be illustrated by:

d.  an outward shift of the production possibilities curve.

Explanation:

Economic growth is the process of increasing the economy's ability to produce goods and services. It is achieved by increasing the quantity or quality of resources.

Production Possibilities refers to the ability of a country to produce goods or services given the limited resources and technology.  It is therefore possible to increase production of both goods at the same time as long as resources allow it.

The Production Possibilities Curve, also known as the production possibilities frontier, is a graph that shows the maximum number of possible units a company can produce if it only produces two products using all of its resources efficiently. Firstly, and most commonly, growth is defined as an increase in the output that an economy produces over a period of time, the minimum being two consecutive quarters. An increase in an economy's productive potential can be shown by an outward shift in the economy's production possibility frontier (PPF).

Each point on the curve shows how much of each good will be produced when resources shift from making more of one good and less of the other. The curve measures the trade-off between producing one good versus another.PPC or production possibility curve is a curve whose basic purpose is to show the different possible combinations of two goods that can be produced within the given available resource.

The two main characteristics of PPC are: slopes downwards to the right: PPC slopes downwards from left to right. It is because in a situation of fuller utilization of the given resources, production of both the goods cannot be increased simultaneously.

What measurements or observations tells you that a car is accelerating
lutik1710 [3]

You need to observe the car at two different times.

-- The first time: 
You write down the car's speed, and the direction it's pointing.

-- The second time:
You write down the car's speed and the direction it's pointing, again.

You take the data back to your lab to analyze it.

-- You compare the first and second speed. If they're different,
then the car had acceleration during the time between the two
observations.

-- You compare the first and second direction.  If those are different,
even if the speeds are the same, then the car had acceleration during
the time between the two observations.

(Remember, "acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up". 
It means any change in speed or direction of motion.)

If an object is thrown in an upward direction from the top of a building 160 ft high at an initial speed of 30 mi/h, what is
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

We can use  2 g H = v2^2 - v1^2    or

v2^2 = 2 g H + v1^2

Since 88 ft/sec = 60mph   we have 30 mph = 44 ft/sec

The object will return with the same speed that it had initially so the object

starts out with a downward speed of 44 ft/sec

Then v2^2 = 2 * 32 ft/sec^2 * 160 ft + 44 (ft/sec)^2

v2^2 = (2 * 32 * 160 + 44^2) ft^2 / sec^2 = 12180 ft^2/sec^2

v2 = 110 ft/sec
