A good baseball pitcher can throw a baseball toward home plate at 87 mi/h with a spin of 1710 rev/min. How many revolutions does

the baseball make on its way to home plate? For simplicity, assume that the 60 ft path is a straight line.

4 0

Explanation:

First, convert 87 mi/h to ft/min.

87 mi/h × (5280 ft/mi) × (1 h / 60 min) = 7656 ft/min

The time to reach the home plate is:

t = 60 ft / 7656 ft/min

t = 0.00784 min

The number of revolutions made in that time is:

n = 1710 rev/min × 0.00784 min

n = 13.4 rev

Rounding to 2 significant figures, the ball makes 13 revolutions.

A person driving her car at 48 km/h approaches an intersection just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the yellow
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

She must stop the car  before interception, distance traveled 12.66 m

Explanation:

We will take all units to the SI system

Vo = 48Km / h (1000m / 1Km) (1h / 3600s) = 13.33 m / s

V2 = 70 Km / h = 19.44 m / s

We calculate the distance traveled before stopping

X = Vo t + ½ to t²

Time is what it takes traffic light to turn red  is t = 2.0 s

X = 13.33 2 + 1.2 (-7) 2²

X = 12.66 m

It stops car before reaching the traffic light turning to red

Let's analyze what happens if you accelerate, let's calculate the acceleration of the vehicle

     V2 = Vo + a t2

      a = (V2-Vo) / t2

      a = (19.44-13.33) /6.6

      a = 0.926 m / s2

This is the acceleration to try to pass the interception, now let's calculate the distance it travels in the time the traffic light changes from yellow to red (t = 2.0 s)

X = Vo t + ½ to t²

X = 13.33 2 + ½ 0.926 2²

X = 28.58 m

Since the vehicle was 30 m away, the interception does not happen
