According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest home run ever measured was hit by Roy "Dizzy" Carlyle in a minor-le

ague game. The ball traveled 188m (618 ft.) before landing on the ground outside the ballpark.
Assuming that the ball's initial velocity was 41.0 degrees above the horizontal, and ignoring air resistance, what did the initial speed of the ball need to be to produce such a home run if the ball was hit at a point 0.900 m (3.00ft ) above ground level? Assume that the ground was perfectly flat.

Range of a projectile motion is given by
R = v cos θ / g (v sin θ + sqrt(v^2 sin^2 θ + 2gy_0)); where R = 188m, θ = 41°, g = 9.8m/s^2, y_0 = 0.9

188 = v cos 41° / 9.8 (v sin 41° + sqrt(v^2 sin^2 41° + 2 x 9.8 x 0.9)) = 0.07701(0.6561v + sqrt(0.4304 v^2 + 17.64)) = 0.05053v + 0.07701sqrt(0.4304v^2 + 17.64)
0.07701sqrt(0.4304v^2 + 17.64) = 188 - 0.05053v
0.005931(0.4304v^2 + 17.64) = 35344 - 19v + 0.002553v^2
0.002553v^2 + 0.1046 = 35344 - 19v + 0.002553v^2
19v = 35344 - 0.1046 = 35343.8954
v = 35343.8954/19 = 1860 m/s

An object has a velocity of 8 m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 j. what is the mass of the object?
allochka39001 [22]
KE=1/2*m*v^2
So 480=1/2 * m * 8^2
480=1/2 * m * 64
480=32 * m
480/32=m

The electric potential at a position located a distance of 20.7 mm from a positive point charge of 8.60×10-9C and 15.1 mm from a
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

q2 = -4.35*10^-9C

Explanation:

In order to find the values of the second charge, you use the following formula:

V=k\frac{q_1}{r_1}+k\frac{q_2}{r_2}       (1)

V: electric potential = 1.14 kV = 1.14*10^3 kV

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

q1: charge 1 = 8.60*10^-9 C

q2: charge 2 = ?

r1: distance to the first charge = 20.7mm = 20.7*10^-3 m

r2: distance to the second charge = 15.1mm

You solve the equation (1) for q2, and replace the values of the other parameters:

q_2=\frac{r_2}{k}[V-k\frac{q_1}{r_1}]=\frac{Vr_2}{k}-\frac{q_1r_2}{r_1}\\\\q_2=\frac{(1.14*10^3V)(15.1*10^{-3}m)}{8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2}-\frac{(8.60*10^{-9}C)(15.1*10^{-3}m)}{20.7*10^{-3}m}\\\\q_2=-4.35*10^{-9}C

The values of the second charge is -4.35*10^-9C

The Andromeda Galaxy is faintly visible to the naked eye in the constellation Andromeda. Suppose instead it were located in the
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

a) We could not see it at all.

Explanation:

The most distant object that can be seen is the andromeda galaxy, which we may have a slight view of. The andromeda galaxy is a large galaxy that along with the previous two is also part of the local group. Spiral-type galaxy that is approximately 250,000 light years in diameter (more than twice the diameter of the Milky Way!) And is about 2.9 million light years away from our galaxy. Because of its distance, we have difficulty visualizing this galaxy, we would have this difficulty even if the andromeda galaxy was in the center of the Milky Way, but maintaining its current distance. That is, even if the andromeda galaxy were located in the same direction in space as the center of the Milky Way (but still at its current distance), we could not see it at all.
