Baseball player A bunts the ball by hitting it in such a way that it acquires an initial velocity of 1.3 m/s parallel to the gro
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

cSep 20, 2010

well, since player b is obviously inadequate at athletics, it shows that player b is a woman, and because of this, she would not be able to hit the ball. The magnitude of the initial velocity would therefore be zero.

First you need to solve for time by using

d=(1/2)(a)(t^2)+(vi)t

1m=(1/2)(9.8)t^2 vertical initial velocity is 0m/s

t=.45 sec

Then you find the horizontal distance traveled by using

v=d/t

1.3m/s=d/.54sec

d=.585m

Then you need to find the time of player B by using

d=(1/2)(a)(t^2)+(vi)t

1.8m=(1/2)(9.8)(t^2) vertical initial velocity is 0

t=.61 sec

Finally to find player Bs initial horizontal velocity you use the horizontal equation

v=d/t

v=.585m/.61 sec

so v=.959m/s

An object travels at a speed of 7500 cm/sec . how far will it travel in kilometers in one day
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

6480 km

Explanation:

The speed of the object is

v = 7500 cm/sec

We need to convert centimetres into kilometers and seconds into days. We have:

1 cm = 1\cdot 10^5 km

1 s = \frac{1}{60\cdot 60 \cdot 24}d

Using these conversion factors, we find:

v=7500 \frac{cm}{s} \cdot 1\cdot 10^{-5} \frac{km}{cm}\cdot (24)(60)(60) \frac{s}{d}=6480 km

A 0.4000 kg sample of methanol at 16.0ºC is mixed with 0.4000 kg of water at 85.0ºC. Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings,
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

T_finalmix = 59.5 [°C].

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, a thermal balance must be performed, where the heat is transferred from water to methanol, at the end the temperature of the water and methanol must be equal once the thermal balance is achieved.

Q_{water}=Q_{methanol}

where:

Q_{water}=m_{water}*Cp_{water}*(T_{waterinitial}-T_{final})

mwater = mass of the water = 0.4 [kg]

Cp_water = specific heat of the water = 4180 [J/kg*°C]

T_waterinitial = initial temperature of the water = 85 [°C]

T_finalmix = final temperature of the mix [°C]

Q_{methanol}=m_{methanol}*Cp_{methanol}*(T_{final}-T_{initialmethanol})

Now replacing:

0.4*4180*(85-T_{final})=0.4*2450*(T_{final}-16)\\142120-1672*T_{final}=980*T_{final}-15680\\157800=2652*T_{final}\\T_{final}=59.5[C]
