Answer:

17.15 m/s.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Maximum height (h) = 15 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = –9.8 m/s² (since the ball is going again gravity)

Initial velocity (u) =.?

The initial velocity with which the baseball pitcher threw the ball can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

0² = u² + (2 × –9.8 × 15)

0 = u² + (–294)

0 = u² – 294

Collect like terms

0 + 294 = u²

294 = u²

Take the square root of both side

u = √294

u = 17.15 m/s

Therefore, the baseball pitcher threw the ball with an initial velocity of 17.15 m/s

When you bent the plastic ruler, what did you observe in its size? ​
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The size will increase.

Explanation:

When you bend a plastic ruler, it's size will increase because it is elastic and will exhibit elastic deformation. When it is been bent, it will continue to stretch until it get to a point where it will not be able to regain it formal shape, it size wound of increase. Therefore when the ruler get to elastic limit and you have bend it to the point it cannot regain it's formal shape back, it will remain bent and if further force is apply on it,it will break.

How is artificial gravity created in spaceships and sattelites ?????? U need some IQ for this
goldfiish [28.3K]

Explanation:

Artificial gravity can be created using a centripetal force. A centripetal force directed towards the center of the turn is required for any object to move in a circular path. In the context of a rotating space station it is the normal force provided by the spacecraft's hull that acts as centripetal force.

Hope it helps.
