One kind of baseball pitching machine works by rotating a light and stiff rigid rod about a horizontal axis until the ball is mo

ving toward the target. Suppose a 144 g baseball is held 82 cm from the axis of rotation and released at the major league pitching speed of 87 mph.
Required:
a. What is the ball's centripetal acceleration just before it is released?
b. What is the magnitude of the net force that is acting on the ball just before it is released?

Answer:

a. ac = 1844.66 m/s²

b. Fc = 265.63 N

Explanation:

a.

The centripetal acceleration of the ball is given as follows:

ac = v²/r

where,

ac = centripetal acceleration = ?

v = speed of ball = (87 mph)(1 h/ 3600 s)(1609.34 m / 1 mile) = 38.9 m/s

r = radius of path = 82 cm = 0.82 m

Therefore,

ac = (38.9 m/s)²/0.82 m  

<u>ac = 1844.66 m/s²</u>

<u></u>

b.

The centripetal force is given as:

Fc = (m)(ac)

Fc = (0.144 kg)(1844.66 m/s²)

<u>Fc = 265.63 N</u>

Ranking Task: The Electromagnetic Spectrum
shutvik [7]

The increasing order of the wavelength from left to right are as follows Gamma Rays <  X-rays < UV rays < visible rays < infrared rays < microwaves < radio waves.

The electromagnetic spectrum consists of many waves which are made up of electric field and the magnetic field.

It is said that the electromagnetic wave behaves like particle as well as the wave.

The particle like pieces of the wave are called photons which contains the energy of the wave and the electromagnetic waves are primarily decided by the wavelength and the frequency of the wave.

The group of electromagnetic waves are known as electromagnetic spectrum.

The electromagnetic wave in the order of increasing wavelength are Gamma Rays <  X-rays < UV rays < visible rays < infrared rays < microwaves < radio waves.

A resistor is connected to a 36v power supply. An ammeter measures a current of 2.0 A going through it. Determine the resistance
m_a_m_a [10]

R = 18 ohms

Explanation:

Given:

V = 36 volts

I = 2.0 A

R = ?

Use Ohm's law to solve for the resistance:

V = IR

or

R = V/I

= (36 volts)/(2.0 A)

= 18 ohms
