A major league baseball pitcher throws a pitch that follows these parametric equations: x(t) = 142t y(t) = –16t2 + 5t + 5. The t

Answer:

(a) $x'(t)= 142$

(b) 142

(d) 96.8 mph

(e) 0.426 s

(f) 0.061 rad

Explanation:

Velocity is a time-derivative of position.

(a) $x(t) = 142t$

$x'(t)= 142$

(b) Since $x'(t)= 142$ is independent of $t$ , it follows it was constant throughout. Hence, at any point or time, the horizontal velocity is 142.

$y'(t)= -32t+5$

(d) When it passes the home plate, the ball has travelled 60.5 ft (from the question). This is horizontal, so it is equivalent to $x(t)$ .

$x(t)= 142t = 60.5$

$t=\dfrac{60.5}{142}= 0.426$ .

In this time, the vertical velocity, $y'(t)$ is

$y(t)= -32\times0.426+5 = -8.632$

The speed of the ball at thus point is $s=\sqrt{142^2+(-8.632)^2}=142$ ft/s

To convert this to mph, we multiply the factor 3600/5280

$s=142\times\dfrac{3600}{5280}=96.8 \text{ mph}$

(e) The time has been determined from (d) above.

$t= 0.426$

(f) This angle is given by

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{y'(t)}{x'(t)}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{-8.632}{142}=\tan^{-1}-0.0607=3.47$ (Note here we are considering the acute angle so we ignore the negative sign)

In radians, this is

$\theta=3.47\times\dfrac{\pi}{180}=0.061 \text{ rad}$

A couple walking in the park strolls 1.5 km in 60 min. What is the couple’s average speed in m/h?

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

0.932 m/h

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Distance walked by couple, D = 1.5 km

Time spent in walking, t = 60 min

To solve this we simply apply the formula for average peed:

Average Speed = total distance / total time taken

The question asks specifically to put the answer in miles per hour (m/h), hence, we need to convert the distance to miles and the time to hours:

Distance in miles:

1 km = 0.622 miles

1.5 km = 1.5 * 0.622 = 0.932 miles

Time in hours = 60 / 60 = 1 hour

Hence, the speed is:

Speed = 0.932 / 1 = 0.932 m/h

The average speed of the couple is 0.932 m/h

valkas [14]

Answer:

Final velocity of electron, $v=6.45\times 10^5\ m/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field, E = 1.55 N/C

Initial velocity at point A, $u=4.52\times 10^5\ m/s$

We need to find the speed of the electron when it reaches point B which is a distance of 0.395 m east of point A. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

$v^2=u^2+2as$ ........(1)
