A baseball pitcher throws a baseball horizontally at a linear speed of 42.5 m/s (about 95 mi/h). Before being caught, the baseba

ll travels a horizontal distance of 16.5 m and rotates through an angle of 49.0 rad. The baseball has a radius of 3.67 cm and is rotating about an axis as it travels, much like the earth does. What is the tangential speed of a point on the "equator" of the baseball?

Answer:

4.5m/s

Explanation:

Linear speed (v) = 42.5m/s

Distance(x) = 16.5m

θ= 49.0 rad

radius (r) = 3.67 cm

= 0.0367m

The time taken to travel = t

Recall that speed = distance / time

Time = distance / speed

t = x/v

t = 16.5/42.5

t = 0.4 secs

tangential velocity is proportional to the radius and angular velocity ω

Vt = rω

Angular velocity (ω) = θ/t

ω = 49/0.4

ω = 122.5 rad/s

Vt = rω

Vt = 0.0367 * 122.5

Vt =4.5 m/s

What happenes to our body temperature on a cold winter day or a hot summer day
viva [34]

In cold winter day, the body temperature falls down from normal temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) to 95°F (35°C). In winter body losses heat faster than it generates heat. If the temperature fall further below 95°F (35°C), it is emergency condition known as Hypothermia. One has to consult doctor in this case.

In summer hot days, body evaporates water in the form of sweat, in order to remain itself cool. Rise of temperature up to 100°F is normal. It is recommended to hydrate body to maintain temperature in summer days.

Why does the area around the equator stay about the same temperature year round?
Verdich [7]
Axial Tilt and Sun Energy

This axial tilt means that during the Earth's journey around the sun the poles receive varying amounts of sunlight. The equator, however, receives relatively consistent sunlight all year. The consistency of energy means the equator's temperature stays relatively constant all year.
