A particular baseball pitcher throws a baseball at a speed of 39.1 m/s (about 87.5 mi/hr) toward home plate. We use g = 9.8 m/s2

and ignore air friction.
(a) Assuming the pitcher releases the ball 16.6 m from home plate and throws it so the ball is initially moving horizontally, how long does it take the ball to reach home plate?

There is no acceleration in the horizontal direction (just g in the vertical), so we can use v = d/t, where v is velocity, d is distance and t is time. We can solve for time like so: t = d/v, we can plug in numbers (v is 39.1m/s completely in the horizontal direction, so no need to break it down with sin's and cos's, just plug it in) and we get t = (16.6m)/(39.1 m/s) = 0.42 s. Keep in mind it wouldn't fall far enough vertically to hit home plate (though we don't know the ball's initial height anyway), but would be in the air just above it. Cheers!

uniform ladder of length 6.0 m and weight 300 N leans against a frictionless vertical wall. The foot of the ladder isplaced 3.0
olganol [36]

Answer:

Fx1 (6 m) sin 60 = 300 (3 m) cos 60  balancing torques about floor

Fx1 = 900 * 1/2 / 5.20 = 86.6 N  this is the horizontal force that must be supplied by the wall to balance torques about the floor

This is also equal to the static force of friction that must be applied at the point of contact with the floor to balance forces in the x-direction.

Fx1 = Fx2 = 86.6 N

The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 6800 rpm . When the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in
tangare [24]
The angular acceleration of the blade when it's switched off is (-6800 rev/min) divided by (2.8 sec) = -2,428.6 rev/(min-sec) = -40.5 rev/sec^2 .
