The gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.24 N down. A pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 17.0 m/s by u

niformly accelerating it along a straight horizontal line for a time interval of 183 ms. The ball starts from rest.
(a) Through what distance does it move before its release?
__________m
(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball?
magnitude______N
direction_______° above the horizontal

Vertical force = weight of the ball
F = ma
2.24 = m x 9.81
mass of ball = 0.23 Kg
(a) Acceleration of ball:
(v - u)/t
= (17 - 0)/0.183
= 92.9 m/s²
Using equation of motion:
2as = v² - u², where u is 0 because initially at rest.
s = 17²/(2 x 92.9)
s = 1.56 m

(b) F = ma
= 0.23 x 92.9
= 21.4 N in the direction of motion of the ball
tan(∅) = y-component/x-component
∅ = tan⁻¹ (-2.24/21.4)
= -5.98° from the horizontal

Answer:

Gravitational pull

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravitational force: it is an attractive force exerted between all objects having mass. Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged object. It can be either attractive ore repulsive.  Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nuclei of the atoms. It is attractive and acts only on a very short scale.

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certain nuclear decay processes (radioactivity).

In this problem, landslides occur when certain masses of terrain are attracted towards the ground - they are attracted because of the gravitational force.

So, the correct answer is

gravitational pull

You are using a small telescope to view two closely spaced light bulbs located a mile away. Each light bulb is emitting blue lig
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on resolving power of instruments . Resolving power of instruments is related to wavelength of light as follows

resolving power of telescope ∝  1 / λ

Higher the resolving power closer the object that can be looked separately.

Wave length of blue light is shorter than that of red light so resolving power in case of blue light will be higher. So we have better chance of distinguishing separate bulbs when color light is blue.

When does a full moon happen?
Crank
Light of the moon is from the light of the sun. So if you're in a certain area where the angle from where your seeing the moon happens to be where the sun's light shines throughout that area. You see a full moon. It's like shining a flashlight on a ball. You move around it and you see half of the light, quarter of the light or even none at all.

Describe what you think energy is in physics and what does it do.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

energy, in physics, the capacity for doing work. It may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other various forms. There are, moreover, heat and work—i.e., energy in the process of transfer from one body to another.

In which state of matter is a substance unable to transfer heat by convection
vova2212 [387]
Convection is the movement of molecules in a solution according to the kinetic energy imparted by heat energy. This happens in liquids, gases, and plasmas. It can't occur in solids simply because they are just that. Solids. If the solid is heated enough to break the cohesion then it will turn to a liquid. Hope this helped. :)
