Answer:

F=84.68 N

Required force increases

Explanation:

By the equation

v^{2}=u^{2} +2as\\ 98^{2}*1609.344^{2}/(60*60)^{2}=0+2*a*1.7\\a = 98^{2}*1609.344^{2}/((60*60)^{2}*2*1.7)\\a = 564.50m/s^{2} \\

By newton's second law :

F=ma\\F=0.15*564.50  \\F=84.68 N

When the mass increased the force increases as the equation.

F=ma

a. The <u>average force exerted</u> on the ball during the pitch is equal to <u>84.68N</u>

b. Since the mass is increased, <u>the force required for the pitcher has to increase too.</u>

Why?

For the first part of the question (a), we need to convert all the units to work with the same system unit.

Converting the speed we have:

1mile=1609.34m\\1hour=3600s

98\frac{mi}{h}*\frac{1609.34}{1mi}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=43.81\frac{m}{s}

Now, calculating the force, we have:

F=mass*acceleration

To calculate the acceleration we can use the following formula:

v^{2} =v_{o}^{2} +2acceleration*distance\\\\acceleration=\frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2} }{2distance} \\\\acceleration=\frac{(43.81\frac{m}{s})^{2} -0}{2*1.7m}=\frac{1919.32\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } }{3.4m}=564.50\frac{m}{s^{2} } \\\\

Therefore, calculating the force, we have:

Force=mass*acceleration\\\\Force=0.15kg*564.50\frac{m}{s^{2}}=84.68\frac{kg.m}{s^{2}}=84.68N

Hence, we have that the force exerted on the ball during the pich is equal to 84.68 N.

For the second part (b),

We need to assume that the final speed is maintaIned, so, since the equation to calculate the exerted force is a relationship between mass and acceleration (F=ma), if the mass of the object is increased, the force required need to be increased.

Have a nice day!

What is the inverse square law and how does it relate to gravity?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Inverse Square Law Newton proposed the Inverse Square Law. The effect of gravity (and also on forces such as sunlight) works like this. If say we have a half-mass Earth, it would produce a gravity of not half but a quarter (the square of 2).

At a department store, you adjust the mirrors in the dressing room so that they are parallel and 6.2 ft apart. You stand 1.8 ft
barxatty [35]

Answer:

<em>a) 3.6 ft</em>

<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>

Explanation:

Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft

difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft

a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.

According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,

your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>

b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.

the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,

the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,

therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

d= 794.4 cmExplanation:

Given that

Speed ,V= 286 km/h

=286\times \dfrac{1000}{3600}\ m/s

V=79.44 m/s

Given that time ,t= 100 ms

t= 0.1 s

We know that ( if acceleration is zero)

Distance = Speed x time

d= V t

Now by putting the values in the above equation

d = 79.44 x 0.1 m

d= 7.944 m

We know that 1 m = 100 cm

d= 794.4 cm
