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

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

distance between two slit  d = \frac{1 \times 10^{-2}}{5510}

d = 18.15 x 10⁻⁷ m

Let wave length of light λ

formula for  position of  first pair of bright spot

Tanθ = λ / d , λ is wave length of light and d is distance between two slit .

Tan 15.4 = \frac{\lambda}{18.15\times10^{-7}}

λ = Tan 15.4 x 18.15 x 10⁻⁷

=5 x 10⁻⁷ m

If θ be the position of next bright spot

Tanθ = 2 λ / d

= \frac{2 \times\ 5\times\ 10^ {-7}}{18.15\times10^{-7}}

=\frac{2\times5}{18.5}

θ = 28.4 degree .

Oksana_A [137]

The task is to show that the right side of the equation has units of [Time], just like the left side has.

The right side of the equation is . . . 2 π √(L/G) .

We can completely ignore the  2π since it has no units at all, so it has no effect on the units of the right side of the equation.  Now the task is simply to find the units of  √(L/G) .

L . . . meters

G . . . meters/sec²

(L/G) = (meters) / (meters/sec²)

(L/G) = (meters) · (sec²/meters)

(L/G) = (meters · sec²) / (meters)

(L/G) = sec²

So  √(L/G) = seconds = [Time]

THAT's what we were hoping to prove, and we did it !

Recall some things you already know about projectile motion. Does a force in the vertical direction affect the horizontal compon
azamat

Answer:

vertical force cannot change the velocity on the x-axis.   t =x/v₀ₓ

Explanation:

The force is a vector magnitude, so the forces on the x-axis affect the acceleration on this axis. Consequently a vertical force cannot change the velocity on the x-axis.

     F_{y} = m g

    Fₓ = 0

The horizontal velocity in projectile motion is constant, if we neglect the air resistance, so it can be used to find the time of a horizontal displacement

       x = v₀ₓ t

       t =x/v₀ₓ

The only magnitude that is the same for both movements is the time that is a scalar
