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

A ball is dropped from an aircraft flying at an altitude of 8,848 meters assuming gravity is 9.8m/s what is the total amount of
Dafna11 [192]
In this question, you're determining the time (t) taken for an object to fall from a distance (d).

The equation to represent this is:
Time equals the square root of 2 times the distance divided by the gravitational force of earth.
In equation from it looks like this (there isn't an icon to represent square root so just pretend like there's a square root there):
t = 2d/g (square-rooted)

d = 8,848m and g = 9.8m/s

Now plug in the information we have:
t = 2 x 8,848m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)

The first step is to multiply 2 times 8,848m:
t = 17,696m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)

Now divide 9.8m/s by 17,696m (note that the two m's (meters) cancels out leaving you with only s (seconds):
t = 1805.72s (square-rooted)

Now for the last step, find the square root of the remaining number:
t = 42.5s

So the time it takes the ball to drop from the height (distance) of 8,848 meters, and falling with the gravitational pull of 9.8 meters per second is 42.5 seconds.

I hope this helps :)

An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 40%, while operating between hot and cold rese
lesya [120]

From Carnot's theorem, for any engine working between these two temperatures:


efficiency <= (1-tc/th) * 100


Given: tc = 300k (from question assuming it is not 5300 as it seems)

For a, th = 900k, efficiency = (1-300/900) = 70%

For b, th = 500k, efficiency = (1-300/500) = 40% 

For c, th = 375k, efficiency = (1-300/375) = 20% 


Hence in case of a and b, efficiency claimed is lesser than efficiency calculated, which is valid case and in case of c, however efficiency claimed is greater which is invalid.
