The center of mass of a pitched baseball or radius 2.42 cm moves at 23.3 m/s. The ball spins about an axis through its center of

mass with an angular speed of 158 rad/s. Calculate the ratio of the rotational energy to the translational kinetic energy. Treat the ball as a uniform sphere.

To solve the problem, it will be necessary to define the rotational and translational kinetic energy in order to determine the relationship between the two. Rotational energy is defined as,

$KE_{Rotational} = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2$

Here,

I = Moment of Inertia

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

Now the translational energy will be,

$KE_{Translational} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Here,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

Therefore the relation between them will be,

$\frac{KE_{Rotational} }{KE_{Translational}} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} I\omega^2 }{\frac{1}{2} mv^2 }$

Applying the moment of inertia of a sphere we have,

$\frac{KE_{Rotational} }{KE_{Translational}} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5}mr^2)\omega^2 }{\frac{1}{2} mv^2 }$

$\frac{KE_{Rotational} }{KE_{Translational}} = \frac{2}{5} \frac{r^2\omega^2}{v^2}$

$\frac{KE_{Rotational} }{KE_{Translational}} = \frac{2}{5} \frac{(2.42*10^{-2})^2(158)^2}{23.3^2}$

$\frac{KE_{Rotational} }{KE_{Translational}} = 0.01077$

Therefore the ratio will be 0.01077

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

<h3> 1.40625m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion expressed as v = u+gt where;

v is the final velocity of the ball

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Given

u = 9m/s

v = 0m/s

t = 6.4s

Required

acceleration due to gravity g

Since the rock is thrown up, g will be a negative value.

v = u+(-g)t

0 = 9-6.4g

-9 = -6.4g

6.4g = 9

divide both sides by 6.4

6.4g/6.4 = 9/6.4

g = 1.40625m/s²

Hence the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 1.40625m/s²

Planet 1 orbits Star 1 and Planet 2 orbits Star 2 in circular orbits of the same radius. However, the orbital period of Planet 1

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The mass of Star 2 is Greater than the mass of Start 1. (This, if we suppose the masses of the planets are much smaller than the masses of the stars)

Explanation:

First of all, let's draw a free body diagram of a planet orbiting a star. (See attached picture).

From the free body diagram we can build an equation with the sum of forces between the start and the planet.

$\sum F=ma$

We know that the force between two bodies due to gravity is given by the following equation:

$F_{g} = G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$

in this case we will call:

M= mass of the star

m= mass of the planet

r = distance between the star and the planet

G= constant of gravitation.

so:

$F_{g} =G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$

Also, if the planet describes a circular orbit, the centripetal force is given by the following equation:

$F_{c}=ma_{c}$

where the centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a_{c}=\omega ^{2}r$

where

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

Where T is the period, and $\omega$ is the angular speed of the planet, so:

$a_{c} = ( \frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}r$

or:

$a_{c}=\frac{4\pi^{2}r}{T^{2}}$

so:

$F_{c}=m(\frac{4\pi^{2}r}{T^{2}})$

so now we can do the sum of forces:

$\sum F=ma$

$F_{g}=ma_{c}$

$G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}=m(\frac{4\pi^{2}r}{T^{2}})$

in this case we can get rid of the mass of the planet, so we get:

$G\frac{M}{r^{2}}=(\frac{4\pi^{2}r}{T^{2}})$

we can now solve this for $T^{2}$ so we get:

$T^{2} = \frac{4\pi ^{2}r^{3}}{GM}$

We could take the square root to both sides of the equation but that would not be necessary. Now, the problem tells us that the period of planet 1 is longer than the period of planet 2, so we can build the following inequality:

$T_{1}^{2}>T_{2}^{2}$

So let's see what's going on there, we'll call:

$M_{1}$ = mass of Star 1

$M_{2}$ = mass of Star 2

So:

$\frac{4\pi^{2}r^{3}}{GM_{1}}>\frac{4\pi^{2}r^{3}}{GM_{2}}$

we can get rid of all the constants so we end up with:

$\frac{1}{M_{1}}>\frac{1}{M_{2}}$

and let's flip the inequality, so we get:

$M_{2}>M_{1}$

This means that for the period of planet 1 to be longer than the period of planet 2, we need the mass of star 2 to be greater than the mass of star 1. This makes sense because the greater the mass of the star is, the greater the force it applies on the planet is. The greater the force, the faster the planet should go so it stays in orbit. The faster the planet moves, the smaller the period is. In this case, planet 2 is moving faster, therefore it's period is shorter.
