The drag on a pitched baseball can be surprisingly large. Suppose a 145 g baseball with a diameter of 7.4 cm has an initial spee

d of 40.2 m/s (90 mph). Drag coefficient for a pitched baseball equals 0.35.
Part A: What is the magnitude of the ball's acceleration due to the drag force?


Part B: If the ball had this same acceleration during its entire 18.4 m trajectory, what would its final speed be?

Answer:

<h2>Part A)</h2><h2>Acceleration of the ball is 10.1 m/s/s</h2><h2>Part B)</h2><h2>the final speed of the ball is given as</h2><h2>v_f = 35.3 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that drag force is given as

F = \frac{C_d \rho A v^2}{2}

C_d = 0.35

A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}

A = \frac{\pi(0.074)^2}{4}

A = 4.3 \times 10^{-3} m^2

v = 40.2 m/s

so we have

F = \frac{0.35\times 1.2 (4.3 \times 10^{-3})(40.2)^2}{2}

F = 1.46 N

So acceleration of the ball is

a = \frac{F}{m}

a = \frac{1.46}{0.145}

a = 10.1 m/s^2

Part B)

As per kinematics we know that

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 40.2^2 = 2(-10.1)(18.4)

v_f = 35.3 m/s

Two sources emit beams of light of wavelength 550 nm. The light from source A has an intensity of 10 μW/m2, and the light from s
alexira [117]

Answer:

<em>A) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Explanation:

If we have two waves with the same wavelength, then their intensity is proportional to their power, or the energy per unit time.

We also know that the amount of photon present in an electromagnetic beam is proportional to the energy of the beam, hence the amount of beam per second is proportional to the power.

With these two facts, we can say that the intensity is a measure of the amount of photon per second in an electromagnetic beam. So we can say that <em>beam B carries twice as more power than beam A, or Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Animals have different types of respiratory systems depending on the environment of their habitat. Fish live in the water and us
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

1. Both are respiratory organs found in vertebrates.

2. Both enable the inhalation of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide in the bodies of their host.

3. Respiratory membranes present in both make the exchange of gases easier.

4. Blood vessels found around them enable the breathing process.

Explanation:

Gills are respiratory organs which can be found in animals that live in water. These include fishes, amphibians like frogs, anthropods like insects, and annelids like worms. Gills are surrounded by respiratory  membranes known as gill lamellae which have a large surface area that makes breathing easier. Blood vessels also are found around gills.

The lung is also a respiratory organ found in humans. It runs from a windpipe known as the trachea and branches into bronchi which contain the bronchioles. Alveoli ducts contain alveoli sacs and then alveoli which are membranes that enable the breathing process.

Both are similar because they are respiratory organs found in animals with backbones. They are surrounded by blood vessels and membranes that make the breathing process easier.
