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.

The magnetic field in a plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave with wavelength λ = 598 nm, propagating in a vacuum in the z-di
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

For this given plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave with wavelength λ=598 nm, the wavenumber is k=0,0105\ x\ 10^{-9}\ m^{-1} .

Explanation:

For a plane electromagnetic wave we have that the electrical and magnetic field are:

E(r,t)=E_{0}\ cos ( wt-kr)\\\ B(r,t)=B_{0}\ cos(wt-kr)

In this case we have the data for the magnetic field. We are told that the magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave with wavelength λ=598 nm, propagating in a vacuum in the z direction (\hat k) is described by

         B=8.7\ x\ 10^{-6}\ T sin(kz-wt) (\hat i+\hat j)

(\hat i,\hat j, \hat k are the unit vectors in the x,y,z directions respectively)

The wavenumber k is a measure of the spatial frequency of the wave, is defined as the number of radians per unit distance:

          k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}

where λ is the wavelength

So we get that

k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \rightarrow k=\frac{2\pi}{598 nm}  \rightarrow k=0,0105\ x\ 10^{9}\ m^{-1}

The wavenumber is

            k=0,0105\ x\ 10^{9}\ m^{-1} .

When light is incident parallel to the principal axis and then strikes a lens, the light will refract through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.

To find the answer, we have to know about the rules followed by drawing ray-diagram.

<h3>What are the rules obeyed by light rays?</h3>
  • If the incident ray is parallel to the principal axis, the refracted ray will pass through the opposite side's focus.
  • The refracted ray becomes parallel to the major axis if the incident ray passes through the focus.
  • The refracted ray follows the same path if the incident light passes through the center of the curve.

Thus, we can conclude that, when light is incident parallel to the principal axis and then strikes a lens, the light will refract through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.

Write each of Newton's three laws of motion. Use your own wording.
12345 [234]

Answer:

In the first law ,an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law ,when two objects interact , they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction
