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!

A(n) 1400-kg car going at 6.32 m/s in the positive x direction collides with a 2900-kg truck at rest. The collision is totally i
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

a) Acceleration of the car is given as

a_{car} = -21 m/s^2

b) Acceleration of the truck is given as

a_{truck} = 10.15 m/s^2

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external force in the direction of motion of truck and car

So here we can say that the momentum of the system before and after collision must be conserved

So here we will have

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

now we have

1400 (6.32) + 2900(0) = (1400 + 2900) v

v = 2.06 m/s

a) For acceleration of car we know that it is rate of change in velocity of car

so we have

a_{car} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a_{car} = \frac{2.06 - 6.32}{0.203}

a_{car} = -21 m/s^2

b) For acceleration of truck we will find the rate of change in velocity of the truck

so we have

a_{truck} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a_{truck} = \frac{2.06 - 0}{0.203}

a_{truck} = 10.15 m/s^2

azamat
So the problem are asking to find the value of G base on the formula of the said equation of the magnitude of gravitational attraction on either body. Base on that, the possible answer or the derived formula of the said function is G = Fr^2/m1m2. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
