e ball need to be to produce such a home run if the ball was hit at a point 0.9 m (3.0 ft) above ground level? assume that the ground was perfectly flat. express your answer using two significant figures.

horizontal distance of home run is 400 ft = 122 m

height of the home run is 3 ft = 0.9 m

now the angle of the hit is 51 degree

now we have equation of trajectory of the motion

$x = vcos\theta * t$

$y = v sin\theta * t - \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

solving above two equations we have

$y = xtan\theta - \frac{gx^2}{2v^2cos^2\theta}$

now here we will plug in all data

$0.9 = 122 tan51 - \frac{9.8 * 122^2}{2*v^2 * cos^251}$

$0.9 = 150.65 - \frac{184150.2}{v^2}$

$\frac{184150.2}{v^2} = 149.75$

$v = 35.1 m/s$

<em>so the ball was hit with speed 35.1 m/s from the ground</em>

Why a raw egg shell disolves when submerge in vineger

quester [9]

If you soak this egg shell in vinegar (which is about 4% acetic acid), you start a chemical reaction that dissolves the calcium carbonate shell. The acetic acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in the egg shell and releases carbon dioxide gas that you see as bubbles on the shell.

PLEASE HELP ME 45 POINTS

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

a) We kindly invite you to see the explanation and the image attached below.

b) The acceleration of the masses is 4.203 meters per square second.

c) The tension force in the cord is 28.02 newtons.

d) The system will take approximately 0.845 seconds to cover a distance of 1.5 meters.

e) The final speed of the system is 3.551 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) At first we assume that pulley and cord are both ideal, that is, masses are negligible and include the free body diagrams of each mass and the pulley in the image attached below.

b) Both masses are connected to each other by the same cord, the direction of acceleration will be dominated by the mass of greater mass (mass A) and both masses have the same magnitude of acceleration. By the 2nd Newton's Law, we create the following equation of equilibrium:

Mass A

$\Sigma F = T - m_{A}\cdot g = -m_{A}\cdot a$ (1)

Mass B

$\Sigma F = T - m_{B}\cdot g = m_{B}\cdot a$ (2)

Where:

$T$ - Tension force in the cord, measured in newtons.

$m_{A}$ , $m_{B}$ - Masses of blocks A and B, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$a$ - Net acceleration of the each block, measured in meters per square second.

By subtracting (2) by (1), we get an expression for the acceleration of each mass:

$m_{B}\cdot a +m_{A}\cdot a = T-m_{B}\cdot g -T + m_{A}\cdot g$

$(m_{B}+m_{A})\cdot a = (m_{A}-m_{B})\cdot g$

$a = \frac{m_{A}-m_{B}}{m_{B}+m_{A}} \cdot g$

If we know that $m_{A} = 5\,kg$ , $m_{B} = 2\,kg$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the acceleration of the masses is:

$a = \left(\frac{5\,kg-2\,kg}{5\,kg+2\,kg}\right) \cdot\left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The acceleration of the masses is 4.203 meters per square second.

c) From (2) we get the following expression for the tension force in the cord:

$T = m_{B}\cdot (a+g)$

If we know that $m_{B} = 2\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the tension force in the cord:

$T = (2\,kg)\cdot \left(4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}+9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$T = 28.02\,N$

The tension force in the cord is 28.02 newtons.

d) Given that system starts from rest and net acceleration is constant, we determine the time taken by the block to cover a distance of 1.5 meters through the following kinematic formula:

$\Delta y = \frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2}$ (3)

Where:

$a$ - Net acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$\Delta y$ - Covered distance, measured in meters.

If we know that $a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $\Delta y = 1.5\,m$ , then the time taken by the system is:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \Delta y}{a} }$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (1.5\,m)}{4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} } }$

$t \approx 0.845\,s$

The system will take approximately 0.845 seconds to cover a distance of 1.5 meters.

e) The final speed of the system is calculated by the following formula:

$v = a\cdot t$ (4)

Where $v$ is the final speed of the system, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $t \approx 0.845\,s$ , then the final speed of the system is:

$v = \left(4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.845\,s)$

$v = 3.551\,\frac{m}{s}$

The final speed of the system is 3.551 meters per second.

What is the weight of a 48 kg girl on Earth? Rounded to the nearest whole number

Levart [38]

Answer:

471 N

Explanation:

Weight is just another word for the force of gravity.

Weight is a force that acts at all times on all objects near Earth. The Earth pulls on all objects with a force of gravity downward toward the center of the Earth (g-9.81 m/s2)

so we can simply say

weight =mass * gravitaitonal acceleraition

= 48 * 9.81

=470.88 N

= 471 N

A 4.0-kg falcon catches a 1.0-kg dove from behind in midair. What is their velocity after impact if the falcon’s velocity is ini

Grace [21]

Answer:

V = 2.8 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of falcon, $m_1=4\ kg$

Mass of dove, $m_2=1\ kg$

Initial velocity of falcon, $u_1=3\ m/s$

Initial velocity of dove, $u_2=2\ m/s$

When the falcon catches the dove, the momentum remains conserved. Using the formula for the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V$

V is the velocity after impact

$V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

$V=\dfrac{4\times 3+1\times 2}{(4+1)}$

V = 2.8 m/s

So, their velocity after the impact is 2.8 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
