A pitched ball is hit by a batter at a 45degrees angle and just clears the outfield fence, 98m away. Assume that the fence is at

the same height as the pitch and find the velocity of the ball when it left the bat. Neglect air resistance.

The range of a projectile can be found directly using:
R = (v²sin2∅) / g
v = √((98 x 9.81)/(sin(90)))
v = 31.0 m/s

Initial velocity=20m/s
Final velocity=0m/s(As the car stops)
Acceleration=-8m/s^2
Distance=s=26m

We need to verify the thrid equation of kinematics here

$\\ \tt\longmapsto v^2-u^2=2as$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto 20^2=2(-8)s$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto 400=-16s$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto s=|400/-16|$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto s=25m$

A satellite of mass M = 270kg is in circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude equal to the earth's mean radius (6370 km). A

zubka84 [21]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Orbital Speed as a function of the universal gravitational constant, the mass of the planet and the orbital distance of the satellite. From finding the velocity it will be possible to calculate the period of the body and finally the gravitational force acting on the satellite.

PART A)

$V_{orbital} = \sqrt{\frac{GM_E}{R}}$

Here,

M = Mass of Earth

R = Distance from center to the satellite

Replacing with our values we have,

$V_{orbital} = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.972*10^{24})}{(6370*10^3)+(6370*10^3)}}$

$V_{orbital} = 5591.62m/s$

$V_{orbital} = 5.591*10^3m/s$

PART B) The period of satellite is given as,

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gm_E}}$

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{V_{orbital}}$

$T = \frac{2\pi (2*6370*10^3)}{5.591*10^3}$

$T = 238.61min$

PART C) The gravitational force on the satellite is given by,

$F = ma$

$F = \frac{1}{4} mg$

$F = \frac{270*9.8}{4}$

$F = 661.5N$

Per person, the energy consumption in the United States is about 3.3 × 10^8 Btu/yr. This is equivalent to a power of:________. A

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

$3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW$

Explanation:

Btu of British thermal unit is a unit of heat. The relation between btu/year and watts is given by :

$1\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\times 3.3\times 10^8\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11031.9\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW$

So, $3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr$ is equal to 11 kW. Hence, the correct option is (d).
