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>

Why on earth the sky is in blue colour but it is black on the moon?
Damm [24]
This is beacuse it is caused by light scattering of light in the atmosphere. When the moon rises blue light is caused and scattered also caused by earth's atmosphere and it is black on the moon as there is no lunar atmosphere , so no light scattering.

Why is physics important to everyone? Describe 5 applications of physics in everyday life.
Sedaia [141]

1. Communication

   In early ages people were using letters to communicate between them. Now days instantly we can call one person from anywhere, these are based on optical fiber communication and it is an application of physics.

2. Transportation

  We can travel from place to anther place by aeroplane , these technologies are introduced after advancement in physics.

3. Construction

 Earlier people used to stay in small houses, now days apartments with many number of storeys are built by considering all the forces coming on the structure.

4. Medical Department

 The invention of many equipment increased the health of humans.

5. Weather forecasting

 The prediction of weather considering all the available factors, prediction of natural disasters all are application of physics.

How far apart are the fringes in the center of the pattern on a screen 4.3 m away? Express your answer to two significant figure
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

d = \frac{nLembda}{sin(theta)}

Explanation:

This comes from diffrection pattern equation used to locate fringe pattern, i will explain every variable in it here.

n = order of fringe = 0 1 2 3 .. and negative integars as well.

d is sacing between slits.

Theta = angle at which light-Ray is directed towards fringe.

It appears that the distance between consectice fringes would same as the distance between two slits 'd'.

therefore calculating that distance should give us the distance between two fringe patters.

Note we don't use transversal seperation distance here.
