You stand17.5 m from a wall holding a baseball. You throw the baseball at the wall at an angle of 20.5∘ from the ground with an

initial speed of 27.5 m/s. At what height above its initial position does the baseball hit the wall? Ignore any effects of air resistance.

Answer: 8.8 m

Explanation:

The movement of the baseball to the wall is a example of parabolic motion. While the baseball aproach the wall it is affected by gravity.

In this case, because the Initial Velocity of the ball is a vecotr, it can be defined using its two directionals compounds. One, on the Y-axis and another on the X-axis. This can be related, on how a hypotenuse is the product of two legs of the triangle. Because of this, each one of this, can be know using the following equation:

Vx = Vo * cos(∅)

Vy = Vo * sin(∅)

Where Vo is the initial velocity 27.5 m/s, and ∅ is the angle which is 20.5°. So we calculate:

Vx = 27.5m/s * cos(20.5)

Vx = 27.5m/s * 0.936

Vx = 25.74m/s

Vy = 27.5m/s  * sin(20.5)

Vy = 27.5m/s * sin(20.5)

Vy = 9.62m/s

Now the movement is divided on two parts, one under the effect of gravity and another one with a constant velocity.

To know how tall does the baseball hit the wall, we need to know first how much time it takes the ball to reach the wall on the X-axis. The wall is 17.5m away, we velocity on Vx that is constant we can calculate as it follow:

Time (T) = Distance (D) / Velocity (V)

Where Distance is 17.5m and our Velocity is the Vx calculated before.

T = 17.5 m / 25.74m/s

T = 0.68s

This is the time it takes the ball to reach the wall.

Know with the time, we can calculate the how tall it got on that time with the following equation:

x = (Vo*t) + (\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2} )

Where Vo is the Y-Compound of the Initial Velocity.

a is the aceleration, in this case the Gravity. Which, will be negative because is oposing the movement. Gravity is equal to 9.81 m/s^{2}

And t is the time it takes the ball to get to the wall.

x = (Vy*T) + (\frac{1}{2} *g*T^{2} )

x = ((9.62m/s)*0.68s) + (\frac{1}{2} *(9.81m/s^{2})*(0.68s)^{2} )

x = 8.8 m

This is the height that the baseball touch the wall.

An athlete completes 1 laps around a track with a radius of 25 meters in 180 seconds. What is the magnitude of the athlete's tan
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

0.872<em>m/s</em>

Explanation:

Tangential velocity is given by the formula,

v= 2\pi r/ t

In the question given,

radius= 25meters

time= 180secs

pie= 3.14

number of laps= 1

The magnitude of tangential velocity equals;

\frac{1lap* 2 *3.14 *25m}{180secs}

<em>v </em>= 157<em>m</em>/180<em>secs</em>

Therefore, the magnitude of the tangential velocity

=0.872<em>m/secs</em>

The MAC is 58 inches, The CG limits are from 26% to 43% MAC. If the CG is found to be
eimsori [14]

By working with percentages, we want to see how many inches is the center of gravity out of the limits. We will find that the CG is 1.45 inches out of limits.

<h3>What are the limits?</h3>

First, we need to find the limits.

We know that the MAC is 58 inches, and the limits are from 26% to 43% MAC.

So if 58 in is the 100%, the 26% and 43% of that are:

  • 26% → (26%/100%)*58in = 0.26*58 in = 15.08 in
  • 43% → (43%/100%)*58in = 0.43*58 in = 24.94 in.

But we know that the CG is found to be 45.5% MAC, then it measures:

(45.5%/100%)*58in = 0.455*58in = 26.39 in

We need to compare it with the largest limit, so we get:

26.39 in - 24.94 in = 1.45 in

This means that the CG is 1.45 inches out of limits.

An automobile engineer found that the impact of a truck colliding at 14 km/h with a concrete pillar caused the bumper to indent
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Hello
Here we must use the equation of motion 
v^2 = u^2 + 2as; where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is the acceleratoin and is the distance travelled.
We select this one because the time of collision is unknown to us.
We know the truck stopped so its final velocity is 0; thus v = 0.
Converting the initial velocity to SI units, we get 3.89 m/s.
The distance traveled, s, is 0.062 meters.
Inserting all of these values into the equation,
0 = (3.89)^2 + 2(a)(0.062)
and solving for a, we get a to be
-122.0 ms^(-2)
The negative sign indicates the acceleration is in the opposite direction to the initial motion, which means the truck decelerated. This is consistent with the given condition.
