Answer:

The pitching speed of the ball is 19.7 m/s

Explanation:

Here, we can use the third equation of motion, $v^{2} = u^{2} - 2as$

whereas v represents the final velocity, u represents initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity and s is the displacement or distance an object traveled

Here, the initial velocity of the the ball is given as zero and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 , the distance 's' is given as 20 m

Using the equation, $v^{2} = 2 * 9.8 * 20 = 392\\v = \sqrt{392} = 19.7m/s$

Hence, the pitching speed of the ball is 19.7 m/s

Answer:

(a) k = 30.33 N/m

(b) a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

First, we need to find the force acting on the bungee jumper. Since, this is a free fall motion. Therefore, the force must be equal to the weight of jumper:

F = W = mg

F = (65 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 637 N

(a)

Now applying Hooke's Law:

F = k Δx

where,

k = spring constant = ?

Δx = change in length of bungee cord = 33 m - 12 m = 21 m

Therefore,

637 N = k(21 m)

k = 637 N/21 m

k = 30.33 N/m

(b)

Since, this is free fall motion. Thus, the maximum acceleration will be the acceleration due to gravity.

a = g

a = 9.8 m/s²

I would not agree with her since reflection and refraction happens only when waves hit an object. When, waves meet it is either it experiences constructive or destructive interference. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
