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

Which of the following is the most reasonable weight in units of newtons for an average adult?
Oliga [24]

Answer: The reason weight for average adult is 530N

Explanation: The clearly see this answer, let's convert this weight to kg using F=mg

530=m×9.8

g is a constant of 9.8m/s2

We divide both sides by 9.8 to get

54kg then this weight is reasonable for an average adult.

Whats the Independent and Dependent Variables
astra-53 [7]
The independent variable is the type of fuel used and the dependent variable is the speed of the race car. The independent variable could be changed through the experimental process to see its relation with the dependent variable<span>. The dependent variable is the result of the independent variable changes.</span>
