A baseball player throws a ball horizontally at the same moment another baseball player jobs a second ball straight down from th

e same initial height with ball hit the ground first

I don't know what you mean when you say he "jobs" the other ball, and the answer to this question really depends on that word.

I'm going to say that the second player is holding the second ball, and he just opens his fingers and lets the ball <u><em>drop</em></u>, at the same time and from the same height as the first ball.

Now I'll go ahead and answer the question that I've just invented:

Strange as it may seem, <em>both</em> balls hit the ground at the <em>same time</em> ... the one that's thrown AND the one that's dropped.  The horizontal speed of the thrown ball has no effect on its vertical acceleration, so both balls experience the same vertical behavior.

And here's another example of the exact same thing:

Say you shoot a bullet straight out of a horizontal rifle barrel, AND somebody else <em>drops</em> another bullet at exactly the same time, from a point right next to the end of the rifle barrel.  I know this is hard to believe, but both of those bullets hit the ground at the same time too, just like the baseballs ... the bullet that's shot out of the rifle and the one that's dropped from the end of the barrel.

If the velocity and frequency of a wave are both doubled, how does the wavelength change?
Sindrei [870]

The wavelength will remain unchanged.

Explanation:

The velocity v of a wave in terms of its wavelength \lambda and frequency \nu is

v = \lambda\nu (1)

so if we double both the velocity and the frequency, the equation above becomes

2v = \lambda(2\nu) (2)

Solving for the wavelength from Eqn(2), we get

\lambda = \dfrac{2v}{2\nu} = \dfrac{v}{\nu}

We would have gotten the same result had we used Eqn(1) instead.

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1500 kg automobile moving at 17 m/s . express your answer to two significant figures
Sidana [21]
Kinetic energy = 1/2 (mass)*(velocity)^2

ke = 1/2 (1500kg) (17m/s)^2
ke = 216750 kg*m^2/s^2 = 216750 Joules

(sorry, I don't know significant figures. but this is otherwise the correct answer with the right units. hope this helps!! :))

A sewing machine needle moves in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 2.5 Hz and an amplitude of 1.27 cm. (a) How long doe
Alborosie

Answer:

The tip of the needle to move from the highest point to the lowest point in 0.4 sec and the needle tip to travel a total distance in 0.9 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency = 2.5 Hz

Amplitude = 1.27 cm

(a). We need to calculate the time

The frequency is the reciprocal of the time.

f=\dfrac{1}{T}

T=\dfrac{1}{f}

T=\dfrac{1}{2.5}

T=0.4\ sec

The time taken from highest point to lowest point

T'=\dfrac{T}{2}

T'=\dfrac{0.4}{2}

T'=0.2\ sec

(b).  We need to calculate the time

The time taken in one cycle = 0.4 sec

The distance covered  in one sec= 4 times x amplitude

d=4\times1.27

d=5.08\ m

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

v=\dfrac{5.08}{0.4}

v=12.7

We need to calculate the time

t=\dfrac{11.43}{12.7}

t= 0.9 sec

Hence,  The tip of the needle to move from the highest point to the lowest point in 0.4 sec and the needle tip to travel a total distance in 0.9 sec.
