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

Ten high-technology batteries are tested for 200 hours each. One failed at 20 hours; another failed at 140 hours; all others com
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Failure rate   = 20%

MTBF = 880 hours

Explanation:

given data

batteries = 10

tested = 200 hours

one failed = 20 hours

another fail at =  140 hours

solution

we know that Mean Time between Failures is express as = (Total up time) ÷  (number of breakdowns)    ....................1

so here Total up time will be

Total up time = 200 × 10

Total up time = 2000

and here

Number of breakdown = 1 at 20 hour and another at 140 hour = 2

so it will be  = (Total up time) ÷ (number of breakdowns)      .......2

=  \frac{2000}{2}   =  1000  

so here gap between occurrences is

gap between occurrences=  140 - 20

gap between occurrences = 120 hour

and

MTBF  will be

MTBF = 1000 - 120

MTBF = 880 hours  

and

Failure rate (FR)  will be

Failure rate (FR) =  1 ÷ MTBF    ................3

Failure rate (FR) = R÷T     ......................4

as here R is the number of failures and T is total time

so Failure rate (FR)  = 20%
