Suppose a fast-pitch softball player does a windmill pitch, moving her hand through a circular arc with her arm straight. She re

leases the ball at a speed of 25.5 m/s (about 57.0 mph ). Just before the ball leaves her hand, the ball's radial acceleration is 1060 m/s2 . What is the length of her arm from the pivot point at her shoulder

Answer:

61.3 cm

Explanation:

Radial acceleration of the object in circular motion is given by formula

a = \frac{v^2}{R}\\

Given:

a = 1060 m/s^2\\v = 25.5 m/s

 

Plugging in the values in the formula

1060 = \frac{25.5^2}{R}\\R = 0.613 m

so length of his arm is 61.3 cm

A grandfather clock is "losing" time because its pendulum moves too slowly. Assume that the pendulum is a massive bob at the end
IgorC [24]

Answer:

d) shortening the string

Explanation:

Time period of a pendulum clock is dependent on two factors namely:length and acceleration due to gravity.

When a clock loses time, the time period of the pendulum clock increases.

This however can be corrected by decreasing the length of the pendulum.The time period of the pendulum clock is not dependent on the mass of the bob. The time period of the pendulum clock can be corrected only by changing the length of the pendulum string.

Each bat can produce different frequencies of ultrasound. Explain why this is useful if there are many bats hunting together.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: Although low frequency sound travels further than high-frequency sound, calls at higher frequencies give the bats more detailed information--such as size, range, position, speed and direction of a prey's flight. Thus, these sounds are used more often.

This question is related to inertia:
luda_lava [24]
The way I do it is suddenly, in the same sort of way that magicians try to pull a table cloth off a table when there's things on the table cloth.The sudden approach acts as an impulse of force and starts to accelerate the roll. But, the piece (assuming it has perforations) is off the roll before the roll can move, due to inertia. Then the roll will acclerate, move, slow down and stop. However, in accelerating, the roll will unravel. The bigger the impulse the more it will unravel.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++If on the other hand, the piece of paper is held firmly, and the roll is pulled, then the impulse is presumably given to the paper and the hand whose inertia is a lot more than that of the roll. So, I think I'd actually go for choice c)+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++This assumes that the roll is free to rotate.I think that a similar idea is behind the design and use of a "ballistic galvanometer". The charge is passed through the galvanometer quickly, as a current pulse. Then the needle starts to deflect, and the deflection is arranged to depend on the total charge that has passed through in the time of the current pulse.
