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.

Speed of light 

According to Einstein, the speed of light is constant in all points of reference.  In addition, he pointed out the speed of light is the maximum speed known since in practice one can never catch up with the beam of light. This is explained by his theory of relativity.

10. A hockey puck with mass 0.3 kg is sliding along ice that can be considered frictionless. The puck’s velocity is 20 m/s when
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

d = \frac{v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{(20m/s)^2}{2* 3.43 m/s^2}=58.309m

Explanation:

For this case  we can use the second law of Newton given by:

\sum F = ma

The friction force on this case is defined as :

F_f = \mu_k N = \mu_k mg

Where N represent the normal force, \mu_k the kinetic friction coeffient and a the acceleration.

For this case we can assume that the only force is the friction force and we have:

F_f = ma

Replacing the friction force we got:

\mu_k mg = ma

We can cancel the mass and we have:

a = \mu_k g = 0.35 *9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}= 3.43 \frac{m}{s^2}

And now we can use the following kinematic formula in order to find the distance travelled:

v^2_f = v^2_i - 2ad

Assuming the final velocity is 0 we can find the distance like this:

d = \frac{v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{(20m/s)^2}{2* 3.43 m/s^2}=58.309m

Why do the noble gases and some other elements on the right side of the periodic table occur as gases instead of solids as do th
mash [69]

Explanation:

The left side of the periodic table has elements that have less number of electrons in the valence shell.

These elements loose electrons easily.These elements appear as metals or metalloids in nature.These are hard solids.Their inter molecular forces are very strong.

The right side of the periodic table has elements that have more number of electrons in the valence shell.

These elements gain electrons easily.These elements appear as non metals most of which are gases.Their inter molecular forces are weak.

You observe a hockey puck of mass 0.12 kg, traveling across the ice at speed 18.3 m/sec. The interaction of the puck and the ice
Galina-37 [17]

The stopping distance is 143.1 m

Explanation:

First of all, we have to find the acceleration of the hockey puck. This can be done by using Newton's second law of motion:

\sum F =ma

where

\sum F = F_f = -0.14 N is the net force acting on the puck (the force of friction, negative because it acts in a direction opposite to the direction of motion)

m = 0.12 kg is the mass of the puck

a is the acceleration

Solving for a,

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{-0.14}{0.12}=-1.17 m/s^2

The motion of the puck is a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where:

v = 0 is the final velocity (the puck comes to a stop)

u = 18.3 m/s is the initial velocity

a=-1.17 m/s^2 is the acceleration

s is the stopping distance

And solving for s, we find

s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(18.3)^2}{2(-1.17)}=143.1 m
