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

For a short time the missile moves along the parabolic path y=(18−2x2) km. If motion along the ground is measured as x=(4t−3) km
muminat

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

y=(18-2x^2) km

x=(4t-3)km

Differentiate x and y w.r.t t

\frac{dx}{dt}=4

\frac{dy}{dt}=-4x\frac{dx}{dt}

\frac{dy}{dt}=-4x\times 4=-16x=-16(4t-3)

v_x=\frac{dx}{dt}=4

v_y=\frac{dy}{dt}=-16(4t-3)

Substitute t=1

v_x=4

v_y=-16(4-3)=-16

Magnitude of velocity=\mid v\mid=\sqrt{v^2_x+v^2_y}

\mid v\mid=\sqrt{4^2+(-16)^2}=16.49 m/s

Hence, the magnitude of the missile's velocity=16.49 m/s

a_x=\frac{d(\frac{dx}{dt})}{dt}=\frac{d(4)}{dt}=0

a_y=\frac{d(\frac{dy}{dt})}{dt}=\frac{d(-16(4t-3))}{dt}=-64

Substitute t=1

a_x=0,a_y=-64

\mid a\mid=\sqrt{a^2_x+a^2_y}

\mid a\mid=\sqrt{0+(-64)^2}=64m/s^2

Hence, the magnitude of acceleration when t=1 s=64m/s^2

Which calculates the intensity of an electric field at a point where a 0.50 C charge experiences a force of 20. N?
tester [92]

Answer: 40\ N/C

Explanation:

Given

Magnitude of charge is q=0.5\ C

Force experienced is F=20\ N

Electric field intensity is the electrostatic force per unit charge

\therefore E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{20}{0.50}\\\\\Rightarrow E=40\ N/C

Thus, the electric field intensity is 40\ N/C
