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

1. A perspex box has a 10 cm square base and contains water to a height of 10 cm. A piece of rock of mass 600g is lowered into t
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

(a) The volume of water is 100 cm³

(b) The volume of the rock is 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock is 30 g/cm³

Explanation:

The given parameters of the perspex box are;

The area of the base of the box, A = 10 cm²

The initial level of water in the box, h₁ = 10 cm

The mass of the rock placed in the box, m = 600 g

The final level of water in the box, h₂ = 12 cm

(a) The volume of water in the box, 'V', is given as follows;

V = A × h₁

∴ The volume of water in the box, V = 10 cm² × 10 cm = 100 cm³

The volume of water in the box, V = 100 cm³

(b) When the rock is placed in the box the total volume, V_T, is given by the sum of the rock, V_r, and the  water, V, is given as follows;

V_T = V_r + V

V_T = A × h₂

∴ V_T = 10 cm² × 12 cm = 120 cm³

The total volume, V_T = 120 cm³

The volume of the rock, V_r = V_T - V

∴ V_r = 120 cm³ - 100 cm³ = 20 cm³

The volume of the rock, V_r = 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock, ρ = (Mass of the rock, m)/(The volume of the rock)

∴ The density of the rock, ρ = 600 g/(20 cm³) = 30 g/cm³

ella [17]
<span>The momentum of the basketball is three times that of the softball. Momentum equals mass times velocity. Therefore, if the basketball and softball are moving at the same velocity, and the basketball has three times the mass of the softball, the basketball has three times the momentum of the softball.</span>

An astronaut on the moon drops a feather from rest (v = 0). The acceleration due to gravity is 1.67 m/s​ 2​ . If the feather beg
olga_2 [115]

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s .

Acceleration due to gravity on moon , g_m=1.67\ m/s^2 .

Height , h = 2 m .

To Find :

Final position after falling for 1.5 seconds .

Solution :

We know , by equation of motion :

s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}

Here , a = g_m .

So , equation will transform by :

s=ut+\dfrac{g_mt^2}{2}\\\\s=0+\dfrac{1.67\times 1.5^2}{2}\ m\\\\s=1.88\ m

Therefore , the height form moon's surface is 1.88 m .

Hence , this is the required solution .
