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.

A lead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 5.0 m above the water. After entering the water, it sinks to the bottom w
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

|D_{depth} |=19.697m

Explanation:

To find Depth D of lake we must need to find the time taken to hit the water.So we use equation of simple motion as:

Δx=vit+(1/2)at²

x_{f}-x_{i}=v_{i}t+(1/2)at^{2}\\  -5.0m=(o)t+(1/2)(-9.8m/s^{2} )t^{2}\\ -4.9t^{2}=-5.0\\ t^{2}=5/4.9\\t=\sqrt{1.02} \\t=1.01s

As we have find the time taken now we need to find the final velocity vf from below equation as

v_{f}=v_{i}+at\\v_{f}=0+(-9.8m/s^{2} )(1.01s) \\v_{f}=-9.898m/s

So the depth of lake is given by:

first we need to find total time as

t=3.0-1.01 =1.99 s

|D_{depth} |=|vt|\\|D_{depth} |=|(-9.898m/s)(1.99s)|\\|D_{depth} |=19.697m

An object is dropped from a height of 75.0 m above ground level. (a) Determine the distance traveled during the first second. (b
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a)Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b)Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c)Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion

             S = ut + 0.5at²

     Here u = 0, and a = g

              S = 0.5gt²

    Distance traveled during the first second ( t =1 )

              S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 1² = 4.905 m

   Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b)  We have equation of motion

            v² = u² + 2as

      Here u = 0, s= 75 m and a = g

           v² = 0² + 2 x g x 75 = 150 x 9.81

           v = 38.36 m/s

      Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c) We have S = 0.5gt²

                   75 = 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                    t = 3.91 s

   We need to find distance traveled last second

   That is

          S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 3.91² - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2.91² = 33.45 m

   Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

A) Show that the surface temperature of a star can be inferred from measurements of blackbodyfluxes at two different frequencies
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The answers to the questions have been solved in the attachment.

Explanation:

The answers to part a to e are all contained in the attachment. For answer part b, temperature and frequency were assumed to be fixed or constant. V² is directly proportional to T telling us that variation in T gives us a square in the frequency variation. This tells us why it is difficult when both frequencies are on this side of the black body.
