A major-league pitcher can throw a ball in excess of 40.1 m/s. If a ball is thrown horizontally at this speed, how much will it
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The ball will drop 0.881 m by the time it reaches the catcher.

Explanation:

The position of the ball at time "t" is described by the position vector "r":

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

When the ball reaches the catcher, the position vector will be "r final" (see attached figure).

The x-component of the vector "r final", "rx final", will be 17.0 m. We have to find the y-component.

Using the equation of the x-component of the position vector, we can calculate the time it takes the ball to reach the catcher (notice that the frame of reference is located at the throwing point so that x0 and y0 = 0):

x = x0 + v0x · t

17.0 m = 0 m + 40.1 m/s · t

t = 17.0 m/ 40. 1 m/s = 0.424 s

With this time, we can calculate the y-component of the vector "r final", the drop of the ball:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Initially, there is no vertical velocity, then, v0y = 0.

y = 1/2 · g · t²

y = -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (0.424 s)²

y = -0.881 m

The ball will drop 0.881 m by the time it reaches the catcher.

How do the dark lines of an atom''s absorption spectrum relate to the bright lines of its emission spectrum?
tangare [24]

Wouldn't it be neat if an electron falling closer to the nucleus ... emitting a
photon ... actually gave out more energy than it needed to climb to its original
energy level by absorbing a photon !   If there were some miraculous substance
that could do that, we'd have it made.

All we'd need is a pile of it in our basement, with a bright light bulb over the pile,
connected to a tiny hand-crank generator.

Whenever we wanted some energy, like for cooking or heating the house, we'd
switch the light bulb on, point it towards the pile, and give the little generator a
little shove.  It wouldn't take much to git 'er going.

The atoms in the pile would absorb some photons, raising their electrons to higher
energy levels.  Then the electrons would fall back down to lower energy levels,
releasing more energy than they needed to climb up.  We could take that energy,
use some of it to keep the light bulb shining on the pile, and use the extra to heat
the house or run the dishwasher.

The energy an electron absorbs when it climbs to a higher energy level (forming
the atom's absorption spectrum) is precisely identical to the energy it emits when
it falls back to its original level (creating the atom's emission spectrum).

Energy that wasn't either there in the atom to begin with or else pumped
into it from somewhere can't be created there.

You get what you pay for, or, as my grandfather used to say, "For nothing
you get nothing."

An aircraft performs a maneuver called an "aileron roll." During this maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a s
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

0.17724 m/s²

Explanation:

D = Diameter of roll = Length of wing = 11 m

T = Time it takes to complete the circle = 35 s

Velocity

v=\frac{2\pi R}{T}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{\pi D}{T}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{\pi\times 11}{35}\\\Rightarrow v=0.98735\ m/s

Acceleration

a=\frac{v^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0.98735^2}{\frac{11}{2}}\\\Rightarrow a=0.17724\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the tip of the plane is 0.17724 m/s²
