Answer:

360N

Explanation:

The frictional force = centripetal force = mass * centripetal acceleration = ma

Since centripetal acceleration = V^2/ r

Frictional force = mv^2 / r

Substitute the values of m = 80kg, radius = 2m and tangential speed = 3m/s

Frictional force = 80 * (3)^2/ 2 = 360N

baseball is hit into the air at an initial speed of 37.2 m/s and an angle of 49.3 ° above the horizontal. At the same time, the
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The average speed of the fielder is 5.24 m/s

Explanation:

The position vector of the ball after it was hit can be calculated using the following equation:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

α = launching angle.

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem.

When the ball is caught, its position vector will be (see r1 in the figure):

r1 = (r1x, 0.873 m)

Then, using the equation of the position vector written above:

r1x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

0.873 m = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

Since the frame of reference is located at the point where the ball was hit, x0 and y0 = 0. Then:

r1x = v0 · t · cos α

0.873 m = v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

Let´s use the equation of the y-component of r1 to obtain the time of flight of the ball:

0.873 m = 37.2 m/s · t · sin 49.3° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -0.873 m + 37.2 m/s · t · sin 49.3° - 4.9 m/s² · t²

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 0.03 s and t = 5.72 s.

It would be impossible to catch the ball immediately after it is hit at t = 0.03 s. Besides, the problem says that the ball was caught on its way down. Then, the time of flight of the ball is 5.72 s.

With this time, we can calculate r1x which is the horizontal distance traveled by the ball from home:

r1x = v0 · t · cos α

r1x = 37.2 m/s · 5.72 s · cos 49.3°

r1x = 1.39 × 10² m

The distance traveled by the fielder is (1.39 × 10² m - 1.09 × 10² m) 30.0 m.

The average velocity is calculated as the traveled distance over time, then:

average velocity = treveled distance / elapsed time

average velocity = 30.0 m / 5.72 s = 5.24 m/s

A rigid tank contains 7 kg of an ideal gas at 5 atm and 30c. a valve is opened, and half of mass of the gas can escape. the fin
Readme [11.4K]
The equation of state for an ideal gas is
pV=nRT
where p is the gas pressure, V the volume, n the number of moles, R the gas constant and T the temperature.

The equation of state for the initial condition of the gas is
p_1 V_1 = n_1 R T_1 (1)
While the same equation for the final condition is
p_2 V_2 = n_2 R T_2 (2)

We know that in the final condition, half of the mass of the gas is escaped. This means that the final volume of the gas is half of the initial volume, and also that the final number of moles is half the initial number of moles, so we can write:
V_1 = 2 V_1
n_1 = 2 n_2
If we substitute these relationship inside (1), and we divide (1) by (2), we get
\frac{p_1}{p_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2}

And since the initial temperature of the gas is T_1 = 30 C=303 K, we can find the final temperature of the gas:
T_2 = T_1  \frac{p_2}{p_1}=(303 K) \frac{1.5 atm}{5.0 atm}=90.9 K
