A baseball pitcher throws the ball in a motion where there is rotation of the forearm about the elbow joint as well as other mov

ements. If the linear velocity of the ball relative to the elbow joint is 17.1 m/s at a distance of 0.470 m from the joint and the moment of inertia of the forearm is 0.500 kg·m^2. What is the rotational kinetic energy of the forearm?

Answer: 330.88 J

Explanation:

Given

Linear velocity of the ball, v = 17.1 m/s

Distance from the joint, d = 0.47 m

Moment of inertia, I = 0.5 kgm²

The rotational kinetic energy, KE(rot) of an object is given by

KE(rot) = 1/2Iw²

Also, the angular velocity is given

w = v/r

Firstly, we calculate the angular velocity. Since it's needed in calculating the Kinetic Energy

w = v/r

w = 17.1 / 0.47

w = 36.38 rad/s

Now, substituting the value of w, with the already given value of I in the equation, we have

KE(rot) = 1/2Iw²

KE(rot) = 1/2 * 0.5 * 36.38²

KE(rot) = 0.25 * 1323.5

KE(rot) = 330.88 J

Lynna [10]

For an ideal transformer power loss is assumed to be zero

i.e. the power in primary coil due to input voltage must be equal to power in secondary coil due to output voltage

this can be written in form of equation

V_1 i_1 = V_2 i_2

here we know that

V_2 = 140 volts

i_2 = 3.5 A

i_1 = 10 A{/tex]now we will use above equation[tex]140*3.5 = 10 * V_1

V_1 = 49 volts

So primary coil voltage is 49 Volts

Copernicus and other astronomers before him thought that celestial bodies followed a _____ orbital path.
murzikaleks [220]
The correct answer is circular. Copernicus and other astronomers before him thought that celestial bodies followed a circular orbital path. Copernicus was a Polish astronomer that concluded that the sun is at rest near the center of the universe and the earth is revolving around it annually. This theory is called heliocentric.

Consider a 4-m-long, 4-m-wide, and 1.5-m-high above-the-ground swimming pool that is filled with water to the rim. (a) Determine
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

44100 N

Explanation:

Each wall will have dimension of 4 m x 1.5 m

Whole force will act on central point of wall situated at a depth of 1.5 /2 = .75m

pressure at CM = h d g , h = .75 , d ( density of water = 10³ )

pressure at CM = .75 x 10³ x 9.8

= 7350 N / m²

Total force on each wall

= pressure x area

= 7350 x 4 x 1.5

= 44100 N Ans

b ) If h = 1.5 x 2 = 3

Pressure = hdg

1.5 x 10³ x 9.8

= 14700 N / m²

Force

= pressure x area

14700 x 3 x 4

= 176400 N

Which is 4 times 44100 N

So force will quadruple.

It is so because both area and height have become twice.
