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!

Steel blocks A and B, which have equal masses, are at TA = 300 oC and T8 = 400 oC. Block C, with mc - 2mA, is at TC = 350 oC. Bl
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

b) TA = TB = TC

Explanation:

  • When put in contact each other, and isolated, both blocks will exchange heat till they reach to thermal equilibrium.
  • During this process, the body at a higher temperature, will loss heat, tat it will be gained by the other body.
  • The equilibrium condition will be reached when the following equation be met:

       \Delta Q = c_{st}* m_{A} * (T_{fin}  - T_{0A} ) = c_{st}* m_{B} * (T_{0B}  - T_{fin} )

  • Replacing by the values of T₀A = 300º C, and T₀B = 400ºC, and simplifying common terms as mA = mB, we can solve for  Tfin, as follows:

       (400 \ºC - T_{fin}) = (T_{fin} - 300 \ºC) \\ \\  2* T_{fin} = 700\ºC\\ \\ T_{fin} = 350\ºC

  • So, when both blocks reach to equilibrium, they will be at a common final temperature, 350ºC.
  • When put in contact with block C, at the same temperature, at that instant, the three blocks will have the same common temperature of 350 ºC.
  • So, option b) is the right one.

Suppose an individual is lying on his stomach with sheets of paper stacked on his back. If each sheet of paper has a mass of 0.0
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

N = 177843 sheets

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass;m = 0.0035 kg

Pressure; p = 101325 pa = 101325 N/m²

L = 0.279m

W = 0.216m

The weight of N sheets is N(mg)

Where;

m is the mass of one sheet

N is number of sheets

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The pressure equals weight divided by the area on which the weight presses:

Thus,

p= F/A = Nmg/(L•W)

Therefore, making N the subject;

N = pLW/(mg)

N = 101325 x 0.279 x 0.216/ (0.0035 x 9.81)

N = 177843

Can someone please help? Thank u!
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

B. 7.5 m/s^2

Explanation:

To find acceleration you need to subtract the final velocity by the starting velocity then divide that by the time

a= v-v/t

a= 60-0/8

a= 60/8

a=7.5 m/s^2

Calculate the total displacement of a mouse walking along a ruler, if it begins at the x=5cm, and then does the following: It wa
Lana71 [14]
<span>To begin, the mouse walks from 5 to 12 cm, for a displacement of 7 cm. Next, it walks 8 cm in the opposite direction, for a total displacement of (7 + [-8]) or (-1) cm. This leaves the mouse on 4 cm, and then it walks from there to the 7cm location, for a displacement of 7-4 or +3 cm. Adding 3cm to -1cm gives a final displacement of +2cm.</span>
