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

A bottle of water with mass 0.9 kg is left out in the sun, the radiation from the sun warms up the water bottle. If the water bo
natita [175]

Answer:

Final temperature, T2 = 314.9 Kelvin

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Mass = 0.9kg

Initial temperature, T1 = 10°C to Kelvin = 10 + 273 = 283K

Quantity of heat = 120,000 J

Specific heat capacity = 4182 j/kgK

To find the final temperature;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

Making dt the subject of formula, we have;

dt = \frac {Q}{mc}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

dt = \frac {120000}{0.9*4182}

dt = \frac {120000}{3763.8}

dt = 31.9K

Now, the final temperature T2 is;

But, dt = T2 - T1

T2 = dt + T1

T2 = 31.9 + 283

T2 = 314.9 Kelvin

Consider as a system the Sun with Saturn in a circular orbit around it. Find the magnitude of the change in the velocity of the
Doss [256]

Answer:

v_{su} = 19.44 m/s

Explanation:

m_{su}=5.68x10^{29}kg\\m_{sa}=5.68x10^{26}kg

T=9.29x10^8\\r_{o}=1.43x10^{12}

If the sun considered as x=0 on the axis to put the center of the mass as a:

m_{su}*r_{o}=(m_{sa}+m_{su})*r_{1}

solve to r1

r_1=\frac{m_{sa}*r_{o}}{m_{sa}+m_{su}}=\frac{5.68x10^{26}*1.43x10^{12}}{5.68x10^{26}+5.68x10^{26}}

r_1=1.428x10^9m

Now convert to coordinates centered on the center of mass.  call the new coordinates x' and y' (we won't need y').  Now since in the sun centered coordinates the angular momentum was  

L = \frac{m_{sa}*2*pi*r_1^2}{T}

where T = orbital period

then L'(x',y') = L(x) by conservation of angular momentum.  So that means

L_{sun}=\frac{m_{sa}*2*\pi *( 2r_{o}*r_1 -r_1^2)}{T}

Since

L_{su}= m_{su}*v_{su}*r_1

then

v_{su}=\frac{m_{sa}*2*pi*(2r_{o}*r_{1}-r_{1}^2)}{T*m_{sa}*r_1}

v_{su} = 19.44 m/s
