To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the description of the movement through the kinematic trajectory equations, which include displacement, velocity and acceleration.

The trajectory equation from the motion kinematic equations is given by

y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0

Where,

a = acceleration

t = time

v_0 = Initial velocity

y_0 = initial position

In addition to this we know that speed, speed is the change of position in relation to time. So

v = \frac{x}{t}

x = Displacement

t = time

With the data we have we can find the time as well

v = \frac{x}{t}

t = \frac{x}{v}

t = \frac{18.6}{34}

t = 0.547s

With the equation of motion and considering that we have no initial position, that the initial velocity is also zero then and that the acceleration is gravity,

y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0

y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2+0+0

y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

y = \frac{1}{2} 9.8*0.547^2

y = 1.46m

Therefore the vertical distance that the ball drops as it moves from the pitcher to the catcher is 1.46m.

Explain the statement: “Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.”
babymother [125]

All living things are made up of cells.  Each cell's individual function helps the organism collectively function.  They are the most basic as they can be self-contained.  And there is no other particle smaller that can function on it's own.

In this reaction diagram which part represents the doffrence in energy between the reactants and the products?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C. G.

Explanation:

In this reaction diagram, there is a representation of the reaction profile. The reaction profile shows the change that takes place during a reaction in the energy of reactants or substrate and products. In this profile, activation energy looks like a hump in the line, and the minimum energy required to initiate the reaction.

The overall energy of the reaction, including or excluding activation energy depends on the nature of the reaction if it is exothermic or endothermic. and products are represented by the G which shows the difference between the energy of the reactants and products.

The earth's radius is 6.37×106m; it rotates once every 24 hours.What is the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

v = 120 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

earth's radius; r = 6.37 × 10^(6) m

Angular speed; ω = 2π/(24 × 3600) = 7.27 × 10^(-5) rad/s

Now, we want to find the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator.

The angle will be;

θ = ¾ × 90

θ = 67.5

¾ is multiplied by 90° because the angular distance from the pole is 90 degrees.

The speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator will be:

v = r(cos θ) × ω

v = 6.37 × 10^(6) × cos 67.5 × 7.27 × 10^(-5)

v = 117.22 m/s

Approximation to 2 sig. figures gives;

v = 120 m/s
