In a fast-pitch softball game the pitcher is impressive to watch, as she delivers a pitch by rapidly whirling her arm around so

that the ball in her hand moves in a circle. In one instance, the radius of the circle is 0.672 m. At one point on this circle, the ball has an angular acceleration of 63.8 rad/s2 and an angular speed of 12.8 rad/s. (a) Find the magnitude of the total acceleration (centripetal plus tangential) of the ball. (b) Determine the angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction

Answer:

a) a= 118.15 m/s²

b)θ=20.80°

Explanation:

Given that

r= 0.672 m

Angular acceleration ,α = 63.8 rad/s²

Angular speed ,ω = 12.8 rad/s

Tangential acceleration at

at = α .r

at ==63.8 x 0.672

at = 42.87 m/s²

Centripetal acceleration ac

ac= ω² r

ac =12.8² x 0.672

ac= 110.1 m/s²

So the total acceleration a

a=\sqrt{at^2+ac^2}\ m/s^2

a=\sqrt{42.87^2+110.1^2}\ m/s^2

a= 118.15 m/s²

Angle θ

\tan\theta=\dfrac{at}{ac}

\tan\theta=\dfrac{42.87}{110.1}

θ=20.80°

Question 30
stellarik [79]

Answer: 0.69\°

Explanation:

The angular diameter \delta of a spherical object is given by the following formula:

\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{d}{2D})

Where:

d=16 m is the actual diameter

D=1338 m is the distance to the spherical object

Hence:

\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{16 m}{2(1338 m)})

\delta=0.685\° \approx 0.69\° This is the angular diameter

White raven [17]

Answer:

a) 4.49Hz

b) 0.536kg

c) 2.57s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the equation for he position and velocity of an object in a mass-string system:

x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\v=-\omega Asin(\omega t)\\\\a=-\omega^2Acos(\omega t)

for some time t you have:

x=0.134m

v=-12.1m/s

a=-107m/s^2

If you divide the first equation and the third equation, you can calculate w:

\frac{x}{a}=\frac{Acos(\omega t)}{-\omega^2 Acos(\omega t)}\\\\\omega=\sqrt{-\frac{a}{x}}=\sqrt{-\frac{-107m/s^2}{0.134m}}=28.25\frac{rad}{s}

with this value you can compute the frequency:

a)

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{28.25rad/s}{2\pi}=4.49Hz

b)

the mass of the block is given by the formula:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\m=\frac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}=\frac{427N/m}{(4\pi^2)(4.49Hz)^2}=0.536kg

c) to find the amplitude of the motion you need to know the time t. This can computed by dividing the equation for v with the equation for x and taking the arctan:

\frac{v}{x}=-\omega tan(\omega t)\\\\t=\frac{1}{\omega}arctan(-\frac{v}{x\omega })=\frac{1}{28.25rad/s}arctan(-\frac{-12.1m/s}{(0.134m)(28.25rad/s)})=2.57s

Finally, the amplitude is:

x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\A=\frac{0.134m}{cos(28.25rad/s*2.57s )}=0.45m
