Answer:

a) Since the height of the baseball at 99 m was 8.93 m and the fence at that distance is 3m tall, the hit was a home run.

b) The total distance traveled by the baseball was 108.7 m.

Explanation:

a) To know if the hit was a home run we need to calculate the height of the ball at 99 m:

y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Where:

y_{f}: is the final height =?

y_{0}: is the initial height = 1 m

v_{0_{y}: is the initial vertical velocity = v₀sin(45)

v₀: is the initial velocity = 32.5 m/s

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

t: is the time    

First, we need to find the time by using the following equation:

t = \frac{x}{v_{0_{x}}} = \frac{99 m}{32.5 m/s*cos(45)} = 4.31 s

Now, the height is:

y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = 1m + 32.5 m/s*sin(45)*4.31 s - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}*(4.31 s)^{2} = 8.93 m      

Since the height of the baseball at 99 m was 8.93 m and the fence at that distance is 3m tall, the hit was a home run.

b) To find the distance traveled by the baseball first we need to find the time of flight:

y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

0 = 1 m + 32.5m/s*sin(45)t - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}t^{2}

1 m + 32.5m/s*sin(45)t - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}t^{2} = 0

By solving the above quadratic equation we have:

t = 4.73 s

Finally, with that time we can find the distance traveled by the baseball:

x = v_{0_{x}}*t = 32.5 m/s*cos(45)*4.73 s = 108.7 m

Hence, the total distance traveled by the baseball was 108.7 m.

I hope it helps you!

I do have a couple ideas and tips that may help you win. I don’t know how the guidelines are set up so if the ideas won’t be helpful I apologize.

First off put some ice cubes in the container then sprinkle salt on them, The reaction will create an effect and be super cold.


Another idea would be to get some dry ice if you able to, This will freeze it solid within seconds.


The last idea combines the the first. Take a bowl and fill it with with water and ice (Make sure the bowl is insulated) add a small handful of salt into the bowl, Put your drink into the cooler and before shutting stir then well then close and wait for the amount of time left, Your should have a cold water bottle.


I hoped this helped you out and I hope you also win the contest.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

1020 km

Explanation:

A complete rotation of the wheel equals a distance of 1 circumference.

The circumference is

C = \pi d

where <em>d</em> is the diameter of the wheel.

300,000 rotations = 300000\pi d = 300000\times\pi\times1.08\text{ m} = 1017876.0\ldots\text{ m}

In kilometers, this is = 1017876/1000 km = 1020 km
