Answer:

<h2>a) The base baseball was in air for 0.64 seconds.</h2><h2>b) Speed of throwing is 32.89 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

a)Consider the vertical motion of baseball

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = ?

         Displacement, s = 2 m      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      2 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                      t = 0.64 seconds

The base baseball was in air for 0.64 seconds.

b)Consider the horizontal motion of baseball

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = ?

        Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²  

        Time, t = 0.64 s      

         Displacement, s= 21 m

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      21 = u x 0.64 + 0.5 x 0 x 0.64²

                      u = 32.89 m/s

      Speed of throwing is 32.89 m/s

Can some answer 7 a and b please
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a.After 15 second Mr Comer's speed =  1.7 m/s

b.Distance travelled by Mr.Comer in 15 seconds  =   18.75\ m

Explanation:

a. Lets recall our first equation of motion V_{f} =V_{i} + at

Now we know that V_{i} = 0.8m/s , a = 0.06\ m/s^2 and

t = 15 \ sec

Plugging the values we have.

V_{f} =V_{i} + at

V_{f} =0.8 + 0.06 \times 15

V_{f} =0.8+ 0.9

V_{f} =1.7 m/s

Then Mr.Comer's speed after 15 sec = 1.7ms^-1

b.

Lets find the distance and recall our third equation of motion.

V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2 = 2as

So s = distance covered.

Dividing both sides with 2a we have.

\frac{V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2}{2a} = 2as

Plugging the values.

\frac{(1.7)^2-(0.8)^2}{2\times0.06} = 2as

s= 18.75\ m

So Mr.Comer will travel a distance of s= 18.75\ m.

The force against a solid object moving through a gas or a liquid
boyakko [2]
This drag force is always opposite to the object's motion, and unlike friction between solid surfaces, the drag force increases as the object moves faster.

Explain how tidal forces are causing Earth to slow down.
dybincka [34]

Answer: The tidal forces exerted by the moon are directly associated with the earth's rotation. Due to the strong gravitational pull of the moon, the tidal bulging appears on both the sides on earth and these are region of high tide, and there is gradual rise and fall of sea level.

Because of these tidal effect, the earth is able to rotate only once in each of the orbital period.
