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

Explain why a steel block sinks but a steel ship floats
uysha [10]

Answer:

Fluids exert forces on objects because of many molecules of the fluid that continuously collide with the surfaces of the object immersed in the fluid. ... A steel boat floats on water but a steel block does not because the block has more weight than the steel boat due to the buoyant force.

According to Newton, an object will only accelerate if there is a net or unbalanced forceacting upon it. The presence of an unbalanced force will accelerate an object - changing its speed, its direction, or both its speed and direction.

How does the mass affect the speed as it rolls down a slope?
VikaD [51]
As we use the Kinetic energy and the equation is 1/2mv^2, changing its mass will change its speed and its energy. So more mass, more speed more energy. also the gravitational potential energy; mass x gravity x height; more mass and more height more speed as it go down to the slope! Hope it helps!
