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!

An 800-g block of ice at 0.00°C is resting in a large bath of water at 0.00°C insulated from the environment. After an entropy c
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Unmeltedd ice = 308.109 g

Explanation:

Gibbs Free energy:

A systems Gibbs Free Energy is defined as the free energy of the product of the absolute temperature and the entropy change less than the enthalpy change.

Therefore, G = ΔH-TΔS

where G is Gibbs Free Energy

          ΔH is enthalpy change

          T is absolute temperature

          ΔS is entropy change

Here since there is a phase change, therefore G will be 0.

∴ΔH = TΔS

Given: Temperature, T = 0°C = 273 K

           Entropy change,ΔS = 600 J/K

           Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 J/g

∴ΔH = TΔS

  ∴ΔH = 273 x 600

           = 163800 J

So this is the amount of enthalpy that will be used into melting of ice.

  ∴ΔH = mass of ice melted x latent heat of fusion of water

    Mass of ice melted = ΔH / latent heat of fusion of water

                                     = 163800 / 333

                                     = 491.891 g

This is the mass of ice melted.

And initial amount of ice is 800 g

Amount of ice left after melting = Initial amount of ice - amount of ice melted

                                                   = 800-491.891

                                                  = 308.109 g

Amount of ice remained after melting = 308.109 g
