Answer:
The magnitude of the angular acceleration ∝ = }[/tex]
Explanation:
The angular acceleration ∝ is equal to the torque (radius multiplied by force) divided by the mass times the square of the radius. The magnitude of angular acceleration ∝ will have the equation above but we have to replace the mass in the equation by 2.8kg as stated.

Answer:
The ball will drop 0.881 m by the time it reaches the catcher.
Explanation:
The position of the ball at time "t" is described by the position vector "r":
r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)
Where:
x0 = initial horizontal position.
v0x = initial horizontal velocity.
t = time.
y0 = initial vertical position.
v0y = initial vertical velocity.
g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).
When the ball reaches the catcher, the position vector will be "r final" (see attached figure).
The x-component of the vector "r final", "rx final", will be 17.0 m. We have to find the y-component.
Using the equation of the x-component of the position vector, we can calculate the time it takes the ball to reach the catcher (notice that the frame of reference is located at the throwing point so that x0 and y0 = 0):
x = x0 + v0x · t
17.0 m = 0 m + 40.1 m/s · t
t = 17.0 m/ 40. 1 m/s = 0.424 s
With this time, we can calculate the y-component of the vector "r final", the drop of the ball:
y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²
Initially, there is no vertical velocity, then, v0y = 0.
y = 1/2 · g · t²
y = -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (0.424 s)²
y = -0.881 m
The ball will drop 0.881 m by the time it reaches the catcher.
