A curve ball is a type of pitch in which the baseball spins on its axis as it heads for home plate. if a curve ball is thrown at

35.6 m/s (80 mph ) with a spin rate of 29 rev/s , how many revolutions does it complete before reaching home plate? assume that home plate is 18.3 m (60 ft) from the pitching mound and that the baseball travels at a constant velocity.

The ball travels 18.3 m at a speed of 35.6 m/s.
How long does the trip take ?
time = (distance)/(speed) = (18.3 m) / (35.6 m/s) = 0.514 second

All during the trip, the ball is spinning at the rate of 29 rev/second.

Spinning at 29 rev/s for 0.514 sec, it completes  14.91 revolutions,
before stopping with a THUNK in the pocket of the catcher's mitt.

In a $100$ meter track event, Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds before Beatrice does. If it
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

10s

Explanation:

If it took Beatrice 25 seconds to complete the race

Distance = 100 meter

Beatrice speed = 100/25

                          = 4m/s

If Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds, she must have completed the race in 20s (25 -5).

Her speed where constant

= 100/20

= 5 m/s

It would take Alice

= 50/5

= 10s

It would take Alice 10s to run $50$ meters.

Why can you see glass and your reflection

projectile motion of a particle of mass M with charge Q is projected with an initial speed V in a driection opposite to a unifor
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Range, R = MV²/2QE

Explanation:

The question deals with the projectile motion of a particle mass M with charge Q, having an initial speed V in a direction opposite to that of a uniform electric field.

Since we are dealing with projectile motion in an electric field, the unknown variable here, would be the range, R of the projectile. We note that the electric field opposes the motion of the particle thereby reducing its kinetic energy. The particle stops when it loses  all its kinetic energy due to the work done on it in opposing its motion by the electric field. From work-kinetic energy principles, work done on charge by electric field = loss in kinetic energy of mass.

So, [tex]QER = MV²/2{/tex} where R is the distance (range) the mass moves before it stops

Therefore {tex}R = MV²/2QE{/tex}

Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

Explanation:

Given :

Thrust force F = 12.3 N

Displacement d = 10.2 m

Mass of rocket m = 0.663 Kg

From work energy theorem,

  W = \Delta K

 W_{t} - Wd - W_{g} = KE

Where W_{t} = thrust work W_{g} = gravitational work

KE = 12.3 \times 10.2 -Wd - 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 10.2

KE = 59.2 -Wd

After cutoff kinetic energy is converted into potential energy,

KE = Wd' + mg\Delta h

Put value of KE

59.2 -Wd = Wd' + 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 4.5

Work done by drag force is given by,

Wd'+Wd =  59.2 -29.23

                 = 29.96 J

Therefore, the work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J
