A baseball player (hitter) hits the ball with her bat. The ball flies north at an angle a above ground and with an initial speed

v towards a fielder whose job is to catch the ball before it hits the ground. The distance between the fielder and the hitter is D. At the moment when the bat hits the ball, the fielder starts running to the south towards the place where he believes the ball will fall. Assume the fielder runs with a constant speed all the time the ball is in the air. Assume the hand of the fielder catches the ball just before it hits the ground and that the ball is hit by the bat at ground level.
How fast must the fielder run to be able to catch the ball?

2. What is the kinetic energy of a 7.26 kg bowling ball that is rolling at a speed of 2 m/s?
telo118 [61]

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object when that object is moving in space. The higher the mass of an object or higher the speed of an object the higher the kinetic energy will be.

So to calculate the Kinetic Energy we can use the following formula

K.E=(1/2)*m*v^2

Inserting the values in formula gives:

K.E=1/2*7.26*2^2

14.52J

This is the final answer which gives the kinetic energy of the ball.

katen-ka-za [31]

The initial potential energy of the wagon containing gold boxes will enable

it roll down the hill when cut loose.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto have approximately <u>5.1 seconds</u>.

Reasons:

Mass wagon and gold = 166 kg

Location of the wagon = 77 meters up the hill

Slope of the hill = 8°

Location of the rangers = 41 meters from the canyon

Mass of Lone Ranger, m₁ = 65 kg

Mass of Tonto m₂ = 66 kg

Solution;

Height of the wagon above the level ground, h = 77 m × sin(8°) ≈ 10.72 m

Potential energy = m·g·h

Where;

g = Acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

Potential energy of wagon, P.E. ≈ 166 × 9.81 × 10.72 = 17457.0912

Potential energy of wagon, P.E. ≈ 17457.0912 J

By energy conservation, P.E. = K.E.

K.E. = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v^2}

Where;

v = The velocity of the wagon a the bottom of the cliff

Therefore;

\dfrac{1}{2} \times 166 \times v^2 = 17457.0912

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{17457.0912}{\dfrac{1}{2} \times 166} } \approx 14.5

Velocity of the wagon, v ≈ 14.5 m/s

Momentum = Mass, m × Velocity, v

Initial momentum of wagon = m·v

Final momentum of wagon and ranger = (m + m₁ + m₂)·v'

By conservation of momentum, we have;

m·v = (m + m₁ + m₂)·v'

\therefore v' = \mathbf{ \dfrac{m \cdot v}{(m + m_1 + m_2)  }}

Which gives;

\therefore v' = \dfrac{166 \times 14.5}{(166 + 65 + 66)  } \approx 8.1

The velocity of the wagon after the Ranger and Tonto drop in, v' ≈ 8.1 m/s

Time = \dfrac{Distance}{Velocity}

\mathrm{The \ time \ the\ Lone \  Ranger \  and  \ Tonto \  have,  \ t} = \dfrac{41 \, m}{8.1 \, m/s} \approx 5.1 \, s

The Lone Range and Tonto have approximately <u>5.1 seconds</u> to grab the

gold and jump out of the wagon before the wagon heads over the cliff.
