Force on pitcher
Distance traveled
Coefficient of friction
a)Generally frictional force is mathematically given by
Generally work done on the pitcher is mathematically given as
b)Generally K.E can be given mathematically as
Therefore
c)Generally the equation for kinetic energy is mathematically represented by
Velocity as subject
Answer:
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the ball, u = 30 m/s
final velocity of the ball at the highest point, v = 0
The maximum height reached by the ball is calculated as;
v² = u² - 2gh
where;
h is the maximum height reached by the ball
0 = 30² - (2 x 9.8)h
19.6h = 900
h = 900 / 19.6
h = 45.92 m
Time taken to fall to half of its height is calculated as;
when falling down, the final velocity v becomes the initial velocity = 0.
Apply the following kinematic equation;
h = ut + ¹/₂gt²
h = 0 + ¹/₂gt²
h = ¹/₂gt²
where;
h = 45.92 m is the maximum height reached
half of h = 45.92 / 2 = 22.96 m
22.96 = ¹/₂gt²
