Homer agin leads the varsity team in home runs. In a recent game, homer hit a 96 mi/hr sinking curve ball head on, sending it of

f his bat in the exact opposite direction at 56 mi/hr. The actual contact between ball and bat lasted for 0.75 milliseconds. Determine the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during the contact with the bat. Express your answer in m/s/s.

Answer;

= 90600 m/s...

Explanation;

velocity of ball = 96 mi/hr = 42.916 m/s...  

velocity of bat = -56mi/hr = -25.034m/s.. ( note the negativity here..)  

time = 0.75 millisec = 0.75 * 10^-3 sec  

acceleration = (velball - velbat) / time

                     = (42.916 - (-25.034)) / (0.75 * 10^-3)

                     =90600 m/s

Answer:

The magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during the contact with the bat is 90666m/s^2

Explanation:

Average acceleration (a) is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time it took:

a=\frac{V_{2}-V_{1} }{t} (eq. 1)

V2: final velocity

V1: initial velocity

t: time the change in velocity took

In this example, the ball traveled at 96mi/h in a direction and changed its velocity to 56mi/h in the opposite direction because of the contact with the bat.

In this case, we need to express all in meters and seconds. To achieve this use some conversion factors:

V_{1} =96mi/h=96mi/h*(\frac{0.45m/s}{1mi/h} )=43m/s\\V_{2} =-56mi/h=-56mi/h*(\frac{0.45m/s}{1mi/h} )=-25m/s\\t=0.75ms=0.75ms*(\frac{1s}{1000ms} )=7.5*10^{-4} s

Note there's a negative sign beside 56 mi/hr because it goes in the opposite direction to 96 mi/hr.

Plugging in these values in eq. 1:

a=\frac{-25m/s-43m/s }{7.5*10^{-4} s}=90666m/s^2

If the relative humidity is 25 nd the saturation mixing ratio is 24g/kg, what is the mixing ratio?
levacccp [35]

The mixing ratio is 6.

To find the answer, we have to know about the mixing ratio.

<h3>What is mixing ratio?</h3>
  • The mixing ratio must be calculated in a complex manner.
  • A saturated vapor pressure (es) for values of air temperature and an actual vapor pressure (e) for values of dewpoint temperature must be determined in order to determine the mixing ratio.
  • The air temperature and/or dewpoint temperature must first be converted to degrees Celsius (°C) before the vapor pressures can be calculated.
  • The equation below can be used to determine the relative humidity (rh), as well as the actual mixing ratio and saturated mixing ratio,

                         Rh=\frac{w}{w_s} *100

where; w is the mixing ratio and w(s) is the saturation mixing ratio.

  • In our question, it is given that,

                                    Rh=25\\w_s=24

  • Thus, the mixing ratio will be,

                            w=\frac{Rh*w_s}{100} =\frac{25*24}{100}=6

Thus, we can conclude that, the mixing ratio is 6.

Compare the force of air resistance and the force of gravity on an object falling at its terminal velocity.
Sholpan [36]
The viscous force on an object moving through air is proportional to its velocity.
The only forces acting on an object when falling are air resistance and its weight itself. The weight acts vertically downwards whereas air resistance acts vertically upward.
Let F be the viscous force due to air molecules, B be buoyant force due to air and W be the weight of falling object. Initially, the velocity of falling object and hence the viscous force F is zero and the object is accelerated due to force
(W-B). Because of the acceleration the velocity increases and accordingly the viscous force also increases. At a certain instant, the viscous force becomes equal to W-B. The net force then becomes zero and the object falls with constant velocity. This constant velocity is called terminal velocity.
Thus at terminal velocity, air resistance and force of gravity becomes equal.

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor = how
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.

Explanation:

In the United States, a standard "drink" of beer has 12 ounces, a standard "drink" of wine has 5 ounces and standard drink of liquor has 1.5 ounces. Then, we obtain the quantity of drinks by dividing the total volume of each drink by its respective unit volume and summing each term. That is:

N = \frac{12\,oz}{12\,\frac{oz}{dr} }+\frac{12\,oz}{5\,\frac{oz}{dr} }+\frac{3\,oz}{1.5\,\frac{oz}{dr} }

N = 1\,dr+2.4\,dr+2\,dr

N = 5.4\,dr

N = 6\,dr

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.
