a baseball pitcher throws a fastball at 98 mph. he also has a slower "changeup" pitch, 75 mph, which he throws identically, same

windup and same release angle from shoulder height. which pitch gets to home plate with a flatter trajectory.......... i.e, velocity vector closer to horizontal

Answer:

For these reasons at 98 mph the path is straighter

Explanation:

To solve this problem we are going to use the kinematic equations, specifically those of projectile launches, let's calculate the distances that the ball travels

     

          X = Vox t

          Y = Yo +  Voy t - ½ g t²

They tell us that the only parameter that changes is the speed, so the distance to the plate is known

          t = Vox / x

 

We replace

         Y- Yo = Voy (Vox / X) - ½ g (Vox / x)²2

       Y -Yo = Vo² sinθ cos θ / x - ½ g Vo² sin²θ / x²

        Y -Yo = Vo² (sinθ cosθ / x - ½ g sin²θ / x²)

The trajectory will be flatter when Y is as close as possible to Yo, when examining the right side of the equation, the amount in Parentheses is constant and to what they tell us that the angles and the distance the plate does not change.

Consequently, of the above, the only amount changes is the initial speed if it increases the square of the same increases, so that the height Y approaches the height of the shoulder, that is, DY decreases. For these reasons at 98 mph the path is straighter

A proton is placed in an electric field of intensity 700 N/C. What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of this p
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of proton will be a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given a proton is placed in an electric field of intensity of 700 N/C

So electric field E = 700 N/C

Mass of proton m=1.67\times 10^{-27}kg

Charge on proton e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C

So electric force on the proton F=qE=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 700=1.120\times 10^{-16}N

This force will be equal to force due to acceleration of the proton

According to newton's law force is given by F = ma

So 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times a=1.120\times 10^{-16}

a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2

So acceleration of proton will be a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2

Directions: Read each statement and determine if it is describing speed or
baherus [9]

Answer:

Find answers below.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

1. Speed: Jackson ran 5k in 24 minutes.

2. Velocity: A storm is travelling 25 km/hour eastward.

3. Speed: John walked 420 m in 17.5 seconds.

4. Velocity: Zart moved the desk 34 cm to the left.

5. Speed: A hurricane travels 360 km in 15 hours.

6. Speed: Meredith runs 400 meters in 50 seconds.

7. Velocity: Stephen Jay swims 110 m towards the shore in 72 seconds.

8. Velocity: Vince throws a baseball 38 m from third base to first base in 1.7 seconds.

What is the mean of 7, 5, 10, and 2? 6 22 5 10
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The mean is the same thing as the average. To find the average, add up all the numbers and then divide the sum by amount of numbers you added together.

First add up all the numbers.

7 + 5 + 10 + 2 = 24

Then divide by the number of numbers you added together. In this case we added 4 numbers together.

24 ÷ 4 = 6

~Hope this helps!~
