This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
In a softball windmill pitch, the pitcher rotates her arm through just over half a circle, bringing the ball from a point above her shoulder and slightly forward to a release point below her shoulder and slightly forward. (Figure 1) shows smoothed data for the angular velocity of the upper arm of a college softball pitcher doing a windmill pitch; at time t = 0 her arm is vertical and already in motion. For the first 0.15 s there is a steady increase in speed, leading to a final push with a greater acceleration during the final 0.05 s before the release. In each part of the problem, determine the corresponding quantity during the first 0.15 s of the pitch.
Angular Velocity at time 0s = 12 rad/s
Angular Velocity at time 0.15s = 24 rad/s
a) What is the angular acceleration?
b) If the ball is 0.60 m from her shoulder, what is the tangential acceleration of the ball? This is the key quantity here--it's a measure of how much the ball is speeding up. Express your answer in m/s2 and in units of g
Answer:
a) the angular acceleration is 80 rad/s²
b) the tangential acceleration of the ball is;
- a = 48 m/s²
- a = 4.9 g
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
from the graph below;
Angular Velocity at time 0s = 12 rad/s
Angular Velocity at time 0.15s = 24 rad/s
a) What is the angular acceleration;
Angular acceleration ∝ = ( -
) / dt
we substitute
Angular acceleration ∝ = ( 24 - 12 ) / 0.15
Angular acceleration ∝ = 12 / 0.15
Angular acceleration ∝ = 80 rad/s²
Therefore, the angular acceleration is 80 rad/s²
b)
If the ball is 0.60 m from her shoulder, i.e s = 0.6 m
the tangential acceleration of the ball will be;
a = ∝ × s
we substitute
a = 80 × 0.6
a = 48 m/s²
a = ( 48 / 9.8 )g
a = 4.9 g
Therefore, the tangential acceleration of the ball is;
- a = 48 m/s²
- a = 4.9 g
Answer:
B) the change in momentum.
Explanation:
The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision ():
(1)
We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):
So, (1) becomes
Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time: . If we substitute into the previous equation, we find
And the quantity is equivalent to the change in momentum,
.
