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°

A box of mass 20kg is pulled up an inclined plane by a force of 285N. Given that the value of
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

19.6 m/s

Explanation:

The parameters given are:

Mass M = 20 Kg

Force F = 285 N

Angle Ø = 30 degree

Time t = 4 seconds

Coefficient of friction = 0.72

At the plane, the weight of the box will be mgsinØ

Resolving forces at the plane, we will have:

MgsinØ + Fr = F

Where Fr = frictional force.

Fr = F - mgsinØ

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

Fr = 285 - 20 × 9.8 sin30

Fr = 285 - 98

Fr = 187 N

But for the box moving toward the top of the plane,

F - Fr = ma

Where a = V/t

Substitute all the parameters involved into the formula

285 - 187 = 20 ( V/4)

98 = 5V

V = 98/5

V = 19.6 m/s

Therefore, the speed with which the box is moving is 19.6 m/s

Which of the following, if eliminated, would completely prevent the greenhouse effect from occurring on earth?
DochEvi [55]

The green house gases can be reduced up to a limit by eliminating the fossil fuels and chlorofluorocarbons. Fossil fuels are the major source of greenhouse gases.

<h3>What are green house gases?</h3>

Greenhouse gases are those which are capable of  intense absorption of  the temperature  radiated from the earth's surface and make the earth atmosphere warm up.

Greenhouse gases are the main cause of global warming.  Carbon dioxide, methane oxides of nitrogen and sulphur are the green house gases.

Fossil fuels are rich in hydrocarbons and they release these gases when  burned. Mainly methane and other hydrocarbon gases intensely absorbs the temperature which is radiating away from the earth and thus the heat is trapped inside.

Therefore, by eliminating fossil fuels, greenhouse effect can be prevented.
