In a fast-pitch softball game the pitcher is impressive to watch, as she delivers a pitch by rapidly whirling her arm around so

that the ball in her hand moves in a circle. In one instance, the radius of the circle is 0.681 m. At one point on this circle, the ball has an angular acceleration of 67.7 rad/s^2 and an angular speed of 18.6 rad/s. (a) Find the magnitude of the total acceleration (centripetal plus tangential) of the ball. (b) Determine the angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction.

Answer:

(a). The magnitude of the total acceleration of the ball is 239.97 m/s².

(b). The angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction is 11.0°

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circle = 0.681 m

Angular acceleration = 67.7 rad/s²

Angular speed =18.6 rad/s

We need to calculate the centripetal acceleration of the ball

Using formula of centripetal acceleration

$a_{c}=\omega^2\times r$

Put the value into the formula

$a_{c}=(18.6)^2\times0.681$

$a_{c}=235.5\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the tangential acceleration of the ball

Using formula of tangential acceleration

$a_{t}=r\alpha$

Put the value into the formula

$a_{t}=0.681\times67.7$

$a_{t}=46.104\ m/s^2$

(a). We need to calculate the magnitude of the total acceleration of the ball

Using formula of total acceleration

$a=\sqrt{a_{c}^2+a_{t}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\sqrt{(235.5)^2+(46.104)^2}$

$a=239.97\ m/s^2$

(b). We need to calculate the angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction

Using formula of the direction

$\theat=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{a_{t}}{a_{c}})$

Put the value into the formula

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{46.104}{235.5})$

$\theta=11.0^{\circ}$

Hence, (a). The magnitude of the total acceleration of the ball is 239.97 m/s².

(b). The angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction is 11.0°

La ecuación de la posición de una esferita está dada por: r(t)=(2.Cos(πt) i-3.Sen(πt) j) (m) ¿Cuál es la velocidad de la esferit

katovenus [111]

Answer:

v = (-4.44 i^ + 6.66 j^ ) m/s, a_average =( 0 i^ -2π j^) m/s²

Explanation:

The expression left corresponds to an oscillatory movement (MAS), the speed is defined by

v = dr / dt

the function of position

r = 2 cos πt i^ + 3 sin πt j^

let us note that it is a movement in two dimensions

let's perform the derivative

v = -2π sin πt i^ + 3π cos πt j^

we evaluate this expression for t = 0.25 s, remember that the angle is in radians

v = -2π sin (π 0.25) i^ + 3π cos (π 0.25) j^

v = (-4.44 i^ + 6.66 j^ ) m/s

To calculate the mean acceleration we use the expression

a = ( $v_{f} - v_{o}$ ) / Δt

indicates that the time is the first 3 s

we look for the initial velocity t = 0 s

v₀ = 0 i ^ + 3π j ^

we look for the fine velocity, t = 3 s

v_f = - 2π sin (π 3) + 3π cos (π 3) j ^

v_f = 0 i ^ - 3π j ^

we calculate the average acceleration

Δt = (3 -0) = 3 s

a_average = (0-0) / 3 i ^ + (-3π - 3π) / 3

a_average = (0 i ^ -2π j ^ ) m/s²

1.) True or False.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. Another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. This means that when you push on a wall, the wall pushes back on you with a force equal in strength to the force you exerted. 1.True 2.falues 3.true 4. not really sure on this one

330 g of water at 55°c are poured into an 855 g aluminum container with an initial temperature of 10°

Olenka [21]

The final temperature of the system is 32.5°
we know, H = mcT
where, H = Heat content of the body
m = Mass,
c = Specific heat
T = Change in temperature
According to to the Principle of Calorimetry

The net heat remains constant i.e.
⇒ the heat given by water = heat accepted by the aluminum container.
⇒ 330 x 1 x (45 - T) = 855 x $\frac{900}{4200}$ x (T - 10)

⇒ 14,850 - 330T = 183.21T - 1832

⇒ - 513.21 T = - 16682

or T = 32.5°

A ball with a mass of 2000 g is floating on the surface of a pool of water. What is the minimum volume that the ball could have

Doss [256]

Answer:

$2000\; {\rm cm^{3}}$ .

Explanation:

When the ball is placed in this pool of water, part of the ball would be beneath the surface of the pool. The volume of the water that this ball displaced is equal to the volume of the ball that is beneath the water surface.

The buoyancy force on this ball would be equal in magnitude to the weight of water that this ball has displaced.

Let $m(\text{ball})$ denote the mass of this ball. Let $m(\text{water})$ denote the mass of water that this ball has displaced.

Let $g$ denote the gravitational field strength. The weight of this ball would be $m(\text{ball}) \, g$ . Likewise, the weight of water displaced would be $m(\text{water})\, g$ .

For this ball to stay afloat, the buoyancy force on this ball should be greater than or equal to the weight of this ball. In other words:

$\text{buoyancy} \ge m(\text{ball})\, g$ .

At the same time, buoyancy is equal in magnitude the the weight of water displaced. Thus:

$\text{buoyancy} = m(\text{water}) \, g$ .

Therefore:

$m(\text{water})\, g = \text{buoyancy} \ge m(\text{ball})\, g$ .

$m(\text{water}) \ge m(\text{ball})$ .

In other words, the mass of water that this ball displaced should be greater than or equal to the mass of of the ball. Let $\rho(\text{water})$ denote the density of water. The volume of water that this ball should displace would be:

$\begin{aligned}V(\text{water}) &= \frac{m(\text{water})}{\rho(\text{water})} \\ &\ge \frac{m(\text{ball}))}{\rho(\text{water})} \end{aligned}$ .

Given that $m(\text{ball}) = 2000\; {\rm g}$ while $\rho = 1.00\; {\rm g\cdot cm^{-3}}$ :

$\begin{aligned}V(\text{water}) &\ge \frac{m(\text{ball}))}{\rho(\text{water})} \\ &= \frac{2000\; {\rm g}}{1.00\; {\rm g\cdot cm^{-3}}} \\ &= 2000\; {\rm cm^{3}}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, for this ball to stay afloat, at least $2000\; {\rm cm^{3}}$ of the volume of this ball should be under water. Therefore, the volume of this ball should be at least $2000\; {\rm cm^{3}}\!$ .
