A pitcher throws a softball toward home plate. When the ball hits the catcher’s mitt, its horizontal velocity is 32 meters/secon

d. The softball’s velocity goes to 0 meters/second in 0.8 seconds when caught. If the softball has a mass of 0.2 kilograms, what’s the force of the impact? Use F = ma, where . The force of the impact is newtons.

Answer:  I just took the test on Plato and the correct answer is 8

Explanation:

To calculate the force of impact F, first lets calculate the acceleration a of the ball:

a=v/t where v is the velocity of the ball and t is time

a=32/0.8=40 m/s²

To get the force F we need the Newtons second law:

F=m*a where m is the mass of the ball and a is the acceleration.

F=m*a= 0.2*40 = 8 N

So the impact force is F= 8 N.

A ball is thrown upward at a 45° angle. Inthe absence of air resistance, the ballfollows aA. tangential curve.B. sine curve.C. p
Evgesh-ka [11]

As ball is projected up in air at an angle of 45 degree without any air resistance

Let the initial speed will be v

now we will have

In x direction

v_x = v cos45

in y direction

v_y = vsin45

now displacement in x direction

x = (vcos45)t + 0

displacement in y direction

y = (vsin45)t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

now from above two equations we have

y = (vsin45)\frac{x}{vcos45} - \frac{1}{2}g(\frac{x}{vcos45})^2

y = xtan45 - \frac{1}{2v^2cos^245}gx^2

so above equation is a quadratic equation and hence it will be a parabolic curve

so correct answer will be

<em>C. parabolic curve.</em>

How much thermal energy is needed to melt 1.25 kg of water at its melting point? Use Q = masslaten heat of fusion.
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Latent heatnof fusion = 417.5 J

Explanation:

Specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334kJ.kg-1.

The heat required to melt water when it's ice I called latent heat because there is no temperature change, the only change observed is change in physical structure.

The amount of heat required to change 1 kg of solid to its liquid state (at its melting point) at atmospheric pressure is called Latent heat of Fusion.

Latent heat = ML

Latent heat= 1.25 kg * 334kJ.kg-1

Latent heat = 1.25*334 *(J/kg)*kg

Latent heat = 417.5 J

Aliun [14]

Answer:570.54 N

Explanation:

Given

mass of man=76 kg

\theta =50^{\circ}

As man is standing over inclined building therefore

its weight has two components i.e. sin and cos component

Force perpendicular to inclined wall

F=mgcos\theta =76\times 9.8\times \sin 50

F=570.54 N

DanielleElmas [232]
During the internal examination, the pathologist drains the intestines, removes any undigested food and feces, and examines the contents of the stomach. This examination could give the pathologist clues of the time of death, and the location of death.  The process of digesting and defecation vary from person to person, the entire process is generally considered to take approximately 40 hours in adults
