A baseball is thrown by the center fielder (from shoulder level) to home plate where it is caught (on the fly at eye level) by t
he catcher. At what point does the magnitude of the vertical component of velocity have its maximum value? (air resistance is negligible)
1 answer:
At the highest point of the trajectory the vertical component will have its zero velocity, and the descent caused by the force of gravity will begin.
Since the ball is thrown with a certain speed, the vertical component reaches its highest point (upwards), until returning to the receiver who will receive the ball with the same vertical component but in the opposite direction (downwards).
Therefore the vertical component will have its highest value at launch.

Answer:
The answers to the questions have been solved in the attachment.
Explanation:
The answers to part a to e are all contained in the attachment. For answer part b, temperature and frequency were assumed to be fixed or constant. V² is directly proportional to T telling us that variation in T gives us a square in the frequency variation. This tells us why it is difficult when both frequencies are on this side of the black body.
