Answer: 211.059 m

Explanation:

We have the following data:

\theta=70\° The angle at which the ball leaves the bat

V_{o}=55 m/s The initial velocity of the ball

g=-9.8 m/s^{2} The acceleration due gravity

We need to find how far (horizontally) the ball travels in the air: x

Firstly we need to know this velocity has two components:

<u>Horizontally:</u>

V_{ox}=V_{o}cos \theta (1)

V_{ox}=55 m/s cos(70\°)=18.811 m/s (2)

<u>Vertically:</u>

V_{oy}=V_{o}sin \theta (3)

V_{oy}=55 m/s sin(70\°)=51.683 m/s (4)

On the other hand, when we talk about parabolic movement (as in this situation) the ball reaches its maximum height just in the middle of this parabola, when V=0 and the time t is half the time it takes the complete parabolic path.

So, if we use the following equation, we will find t:

V=V_{o}+gt=0 (5)

Isolating t:

t=\frac{-V_{o}}{g} (6)

t=\frac{-55 m/s}{-9.8 m/s^{2}} (7)

t=5.61 s (8)

Now that we have the time it takes to the ball to travel half of is path, we can find the total time T it takes the complete parabolic path, which is twice t:

T=2t=2(5.61 s)=11.22 s (9)

With this result in mind, we can finally calculate how far the ball travels in the air:

x=V_{ox}T (10)

Substituting (2) and (9) in (10):

x=(18.811 m/s)(11.22 s) (11)

Finally:

x=211.059 m

The star is Alpha Centauri.  It's only 4 light years away

Part of one row of the periodic table is shown. Which element’s atoms have the greatest average number of neutrons?
Zanzabum

Number of neutrons of the elements can be calculated if the atomic number and mass number is known.

As, Number of neutrons= Mass number- Atomic number

For Tin(sn), the mass number is 119 and atomic number is 50, then

Number of neutrons= 119-50=69

For Antimony(sb), the mass number is 122 and the atomic number is 51, then

Number of neutrons=122-51=71

For Tellurium(te), the mass number is 128 and atomic number is 52,then

Number of neutrons=128-52=76

Fro Iodine(I), the mass number is 127 and the atomic number is 53, then

Number of neutrons=127-53=74

Since, the number of neutrons are large in Tellurium, therefore Tellurium have the greatest average number of neutrons.

Suppose that the terminal speed of a particular sky diver is 165 km/h in the spread-eagle position and 320 km/h in the nosedive
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

3.76

Explanation:

We are given that

Terminal speed in the spread -eagle position,v_t=165 km/h

Terminal speed in the nosedive position,v'_t=320km/h

We have to find the ratio of the effective cross-sectional area A in the slower position to that in the faster position.

We  know that

Area, A=\frac{2mg}{C\rho v^2_t}

A_{slower}=\frac{2mg}{C\rho(165)^2}

A_{faster}=\frac{2mg}{C\rho(320)^2}

\frac{A_{slower}}{A_{faster}}=\frac{(320)^2}{(165)^2}

\frac{A_{slower}}{A_{faster}}=3.76
