Answer:
Vertical distance= 3.3803ft
Explanation:
First with the speed of the ball and the distance traveled horizontally we can determine the flight time to reach the plate:
Velocity= (90 mi/h) × (1 mile/5280ft) = 475200ft/h
Distance= Velocity × time⇒ time= 60.5ft / (475200ft/h) = 0.00012731h
time= 0.00012731h × (3600s/h)= 0.458316s
With this time we can determine the distance traveled vertically taking into account that its initial vertical velocity is zero and its acceleration is that of gravity, 9.81m/s²:
Vertical distance= (1/2) × 9.81 (m/s²) × (0.458316s)²=1.0303m
Vertical distance= 1.0303m × (1ft/0.3048m) = 3.3803ft
This is the vertical distance traveled by the ball from the time it is thrown by the pitcher until it reaches the plate, regardless of air resistance.
Answer:
An elliptical orbit is the revolving of one object around another in an oval-shaped path called an ellipse. The planets in the solar system orbit the sun in elliptical orbits. Many satellites orbit the Earth in elliptical orbits as does the moon.
Answer:
The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.4 kJ/g
Explanation:
The given readings are;
The first (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₁ = 581 g
The second (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₂ = 526 g
The first joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₁ = 195 kJ
The second joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₂ = 327 kJ
The latent heat of vaporization = The heat required to evaporate a given mass water at constant temperature
Based on the measurements, we have;
The latent heat of vaporization = ΔQ/Δm
∴ The latent heat of vaporization of water = (327 kJ - 195 kJ)/(581 g - 526 g) = 2.4 kJ/g
The latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.4 kJ/g
