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

Kepler's third law hypothesizes that for all the small bodies in orbit around the
same central body, the ratio of (orbital period squared) / (orbital radius cubed)
is the same number.

<u>Moon #1:</u>  (1.262 days)² / (2.346 x 10^4 km)³

<u>Moon #2:</u>  (orbital period)² / (9.378 x 10^3 km)³

If Kepler knew what he was talking about ... and Newton showed that he did ...
then these two fractions are equal, and may be written as a proportion.

Cross multiply the proportion:

(orbital period)² x (2.346 x 10^4)³ = (1.262 days)² x (9.378 x 10^3)³

Divide each side by (2.346 x 10^4)³:

(Orbital period)² = (1.262 days)² x (9.378 x 10^3 km)³ / (2.346 x 10^4 km)³

               =  0.1017 day²

Orbital period = <u>0.319 Earth day</u> = about 7.6 hours.

Final speed after collision with the wall

v_f = -0.4 m/s

before collision the speed of ball initially

v_i = 0.6 m/s

time taken for the collision

\Delta t = 0.2 s

now as per the formula of acceleration we know that

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

now plug in all values in it

a = \frac{-0.4 - 0.6}{0.2}

a = -5.0 m/s^2

so acceleration is - 5 m/s/s for above situation

What is the gravitational force that two objects would feel if they are 3.5 meters apart? Object 1 has a mass of 10x10^5 kg and
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

1.63 N

Explanation:

F = GMm/r^2

  = (6.67x10^-11)(10x10^5)(3x10^5) / 3.5^2

  = 1.63 N  ( 3 sig. fig.)
