Boston Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens could routinely throw a fastball at a horizontal

Physics
1 answer:
azamat2 years ago
6 0

Answer: 0.145 seconds

Explanation:

Given that Roger Clemens could routinely throw a fastball at a horizontal speed of 119.7 m/s. How long did the ball take to reach home plate 17.3 m away

Since the speed is horizontal

Using the formula for speed which is

Speed = distance/time

Where

Speed = 119.7 m/s

Distance covered = 17.3 m

Time is what we are looking for

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

119.7 = 17.3/ time

Make time the subject of formula

Time = 17.3 / 119.7

Time = 0.145 seconds.

Therefore, it will take 0.145 seconds to reach the home plates

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Minimum thickness; t = 9.75 x 10^(-8) m

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength of light;λ = 585 nm = 585 x 10^(-9)m

Refractive index of benzene;n = 1.5

Now, let's calculate the wavelength of the film;

Wavelength of film;λ_film = Wavelength of light/Refractive index of benzene

Thus; λ_film = 585 x 10^(-9)/1.5

λ_film = 39 x 10^(-8) m

Now, to find the thickness, we'll use the formula;

2t = ½m(λ_film)

Where;

t is the thickness of the film

m is an integer which we will take as 1

Thus;

2t = ½ x 1 x 39 x 10^(-8)

2t = 19.5 x 10^(-8)

Divide both sides by 2 to give;

t = 9.75 x 10^(-8) m

Planet with an atmosphere that rains sulfuric acid
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Venus

Explanation:

Venus is the second plate in the solar system. It is a terrestrial planet and it is part of the inner rocky planets.

In Venus, it rains sulfuric acid but the rain never reaches the surface before it becomes evaporated. The acid forms from the combination of sulfur oxide and water in the atmosphere at a height of about 42km. As it condenses and falls, it becomes evaporated back at lower elevations. The surface is therefore protected from the sulfuric acid rain.

The sulfur oxide and water vapor must have been derived from volcanic activities in geologic times past.

Scientists want to place a telescope on the moon to improve their view of distant planets. The telescope weighs 200 pounds on Ea
Maru [420]

Answer:

33,02 lb

Explanation:

g_m ≈ 1,62 m/s2

g ≈ 9,81 m/s2

m = 200 lb

m_m = m * g_m / m = 200 * 1,62 / 9,81 = 33,02 lb

Which of the following is a reason to express scientific findings mathematically? A. The findings become more difficult to prove
mafiozo [28]
Now really ! 

If there were some kind of treatment of the results that made them
more difficult to prove by experiment, or made them more confusing,
or made them less appealing to the public, then there would be no
reason on Earth to treat them that way. 

Choice ' B ' is the only positive effect, so it's the only reason you'd
WANT to handle your findings that way.
