Jose is batting for the home team when he hits a foul ball that rises straight up over home plate. A fan in the stands notices t

he ball reaches the same height as the top row of the stands where he is sitting. If the top row of the stands is 40 meters above the field level, what was the upward speed of the ball in meters per second after it got struck by the bat?

Answer:

<h3><em>28.01m/s.</em></h3>

Explanation:

Given maximum height reached by the ball as H = 40 metres

Since the ball rises straight up when hit by a ball, then the angle of launch will be perpendicular to the ground and that is 90°.

To determine the upward speed of the ball in meters per second after it got struck by the bat, we will use the formula for calculating the maximum height according to projectile motion;

Maximum Height H = \frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g} where;

u is the speed of the ball

\theta is the angle of launch

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Substituting the given parameters into the formula;

40 = \frac{u^2sin^2(90)}{2(9.81)}\\ \\40 = \frac{u^2}{2(9.81)}\\ \\40 = \frac{u^2}{19.62} \\cross\ multiply\\\\u^2 = 40*19.62\\u^2 = 784.8\\u = \sqrt{784.8}\\ u = 28.01 m/s

<em>Hence the upward speed of the ball in meters per second after it got struck by the bat is 28.01m/s.</em>

An experiment is set up to test the angular resolution of an optical device when red light (wavelength ????r ) shines on an aper
Neko [114]

Explanation:

As per Rayleigh criterion, the angular resolution is given as follows:

\theta=\frac{1.22 \lambda}{D}

From this expression larger the size of aperture, smaller will be the value of angular resolution and hence, better will be the device i.e. precision for distinguishing two points at very high angular difference is higher.

What is the difference between each distance traveled and displacement travled
-BARSIC- [3]

Displacement is a vector magnitude that depends on the position of the body which is individualistic for the trajectory.

While, Distance is a scalar magnitude that measures over the trajectory.

What force, in newtons, must you exert on the balloon with your hands to create a gauge pressure of 62.5 cm H2O, if you squeeze
yulyashka [42]

Answer:54.70 N

Explanation:

Given

Gauge Pressure of 62.5 cm of H_2O

i.e. h=62.5 cm =0.625 m

Effective area A=51 cm^2

initial Pressure= 1 atm=101.325 kPa

Gauge Pressure P=\rho gh

\rho =density\ of\ water =1000 kg/m^3

P_{gauge}=1000\times 9.8\times 0.625=5.937 kPa

Force creates a pressure of P_1 which will be equal to Gauge Pressure

P_1=\frac{F}{A}

P_1=P_{gauge}

\frac{F}{A}=5.937 kPa

F=5.937\times 51\times 10^{-4}\times 10^3

F=30.27 N

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE A mad scientist places massive amounts of charge on basketball sized aluminum balls. The charge on the ball
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

4.2 x 10⁷N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Charge on ball:

             q₁  = 3C

              q₂ = 14C

Distance between balls  = 9000m

Unknown:

Force acting on the two balls

Solution:

The force experienced by the two charges is given by coulombs law. It is mathematically expressed as;

                      F  = \frac{k q_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }

where k  = 9 x 10⁹Nm²/C²

           q is the charges

             r is the distance

Input the variables and solve;

                 

        F  = \frac{9 x 10^{9} x 3 x 14 }{9000}  = 4.2 x 10⁷N

Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s . At the same instant, a fly
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The fly travels 2.4 m

Explanation:

Since the Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s, we can find the time until they crash by the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Time = Distance /Speed

Time = (100 m) / (1 m/s)

Time = 100 hours

Now, the fly will spend the same amount of time traveling as the steamrollers.

Since the fly moves at a speed of 2.4 m/s and we have a time of one hour the steamroller take to collide, then the fly will go a distance of;

Distance = speed x time = 2.4 × 1 = 2.4 m
