When density increases the number of molecules stay the same, im not entirely sure but i hope its right.

If the average pitcher is releasing the ball from a height of 1.8 m above the ground, and the pitcher's mound is 0.2 m higher th

mina [271]

The catcher can catch the ball at a height of 0.96 m from the ground.

The distance between the pitcher's mound and the catcher's box is about 60'6", which translates to 18.44 m. An average pitcher can pitch with speeds ranging from 88 mph to 97 mph, which is from 39.3 m/s to 43.4 m/s.

Assume the pitcher pitches a ball horizontally with a speed of 40 m/s. If the catcher catches the ball in a time t, then the ball travels a horizontal distance x of 18.44 m and at the same time falls through a height y.

The horizontal motion of the ball is uniform motion since no force acts on the ball ( assuming no air resistance) and hence the acceleration of the ball along the horizontal direction is zero.

Therefore,

$x=ut$

Calculate the time t by substituting 18.44 m for x and 40 m/s for u.

$t=\frac{x}{u} \\ =\frac{18.44 m}{40 m/s} \\ =0.461s$

The ball is acted upon by the earth's gravitational attraction and hence it accelerates downwards with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity g.

Since a horizontal projection is assumed, the ball has no component of velocity in the downward direction.

Therefore, for vertical motion, which is an accelerated motion, the distance y, the ball falls in the time t taken by it to reach the catcher's box is given by the equation,

$y=\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Substitute 9.8 m/s² for g and 0.461 s for t.

$y=\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\ y=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(0.461s)^2=1.04 m$

The pitcher releases the ball at a height of 1.8 m from a mound which is at a height of 0.2 m. Thus, the ball is released at a height of 2.0 m from the ground. It falls through a distance of 1.04 m in the time it takes to reach the catcher.

Therefore, the height at which the catcher needs to keep his glove so as to catch the ball is given by, $(2.0 m)-(1.04 m)=0.96 m$

The catcher needs to hold his glove at a height of <u>0,96 m from the ground.</u>

A child goes down the slide,starting from rest. If the length of the slide is 2m and it takes the child 3 seconds to go down the

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

$0.44 m/s^2$

Explanation:

We have the following data:

- distance covered by the child: d = 2 m (length of the slide)

- time taken to cover this distance: t = 3 s

- initial velocity of the child: 0 m/s (he starts from rest)

So we can find the acceleration by using the equation:

$d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Where a is the acceleration.

Substituting the values and solving for a,

$a=\frac{2d}{t^2}=\frac{2(2)}{3^2}=0.44 m/s^2$

I hope you are able to read this question?? Help ASAP this question is on the quiz tommorow

Masteriza [31]

You would be correct.

Because you have only JUST released the arrow, and how close he is to the target, it would have the same amount of energy when it strikes the target. Yes, the kinetic energy would be destroyed when you hit the target but not right away. And yes, the potential energy would also be destroyed once you release the arrow, but it goes straight back once it stops moving, aka when it hits the target, although it has only just stopped moving.

Hope this helps!
