A fast pitch softball player does a "windmill" pitch moving her hand through a vertical circular arc to pitch a ball at 70mph. T

he 0.19 kg ball is 55 cm from the pivot point at her shoulder.
Just before the ball leaves her hand, what is its centripetal acceleration?

Answer:

Explanation:

The hand throwing ball moves on a circular path having radius r = .55 m

mass of ball m = .19 kg

velocity v = 70 mph

= 70 x 1600 / 60 x 60

= 31.11 m /s

centripetal force

= mv² / r

= .19 x 31.11² / .55

= 334.34 N

Compare and contrast electric conductors and electric insulators. Give an example of each.
ludmilkaskok [199]
An example of conductors of heat would be iron pans. a example of electric insulators would be copper, gold and silver. to contrast conductors and insulators, insulators let electricity pass through them while conductors restricts electricity. both conductors and insulators can work with lithium and sodium.

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Final mass=0.89kg

Final pressure=5.6bar

Explanation:

To find mass,m=v/v1

But v1=vf + x(vg-vf)

Vf= 0.001093m^3/kg

Vg= 0.3748m^3/kg

V1= 0.001093+0.5(0.3748-0.001093)

V1= 0.225m^3/kg

M= 0.20/0.225 =0.89kg

Final pressure will be:

V/V1= P/P1

Cross multiply

VP1=V1P

P1= 0.225×5/0.2

P1=:5.6 bar

What is the direction of the centripetal force when applied to an object?
mihalych1998 [28]
For an object moving in a path that's a circle or a part of one,
the centripetal force acts in the direction toward the center of
the circle.  That direction is perpendicular to the way the object
is moving.

What happens to the gravitational attraction between 2 objects
amm1812

Answer:

It decreases.

Explanation:

between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases

Darya [45]

Answer:

x=0.53x10^{-3} m

Explanation:

Using Gauss law the field is uniform so

E=ζ/ε

Charge densities ⇒ζ=1.x10x^{-6} \frac{C}{m^{2}}

ε=8.85x10^{-12} \frac{C^{2}}{n*m^{2}}

E=\frac{1x10^{-6}\frac{C}{m^{2}}}{8.85x^{-12}\frac{C^{2} }{N*m^{2}}} \\E=0.11299 x10^{-6} \frac{N}{C}

Force of charge is

F_{q}=q*E\\F_{q}=1.6x10^{-19}C*0.11299x10^{6}\frac{N}{C} \\F_{q}=1.807x10^{-14} N

F_{q}=m*a\\a=\frac{F_{q}}{m}=\frac{1.807x10^{-13}N}{1.67x10^{-27}}\\ a=1.082x0^{14} \frac{m}{s^{2}} \\t=\frac{x}{v}\\ x=2.1cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.021m \\v=6.7x10^{6}\frac{m}{s} \\ t=\frac{0.021m}{6.7x10^{6}\frac{m}{s}} \\t=3.13x10^{-9}s

So finally knowing the acceleration and the time the distance can be find using equation of uniform motion

x_{f}=x_{o}+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}\\ x_{o}=0\\x_{f}=\frac{1}{2} a*t^{2}=\frac{1}{2}*1.082x10^{14}\frac{m}{s^{2} } *(3.134x^{-9}s)^{2}  \\x_{f}=0.53x^{-3}m
