The pitcher’s mound in baseball is 85 m from the plate. It takes 4 seconds for a pitch to reach the plate. How fast is the pitch

?
Physics
1 answer:
kotegsom [21]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

21.25 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of the pitch is equal to the distance the baseball travels (85 m) divided by the time it took for it to cover that distance (4). In short, we are dividing 85 by 4 to reach our answer of 21.25 meters per second.

A 2.964 kilogram truck strikes a fence at 7.00 meters/second and comes to
Makovka662 [10]

10.92N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of truck = 2.964kg

Velocity of truck = 7m/s

Time taken = 1.9s

Unknown:

Average force on the car = ?

Solution:

According to newton's third law of motion "action and reaction are equal and opposite".

The force with which the truck struck the fence is the same as the force the fence acted on the truck with but in another direction.

 From newton's second law:

      Force  = mass x acceleration

      We know that acceleration is the change in velocity with time;

   acceleration = \frac{change in velocity }{time }

   Force =  mass x  \frac{change in velocity }{time }

  Force = \frac{2.964 x 7}{1.9} = 10.92N

If an automobile had a 100%-efficient engine, transferring all of the fuel's energy to work, would the engine be warm to your to
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The engine would be warm to touch, and the exhaust gases would be at ambient temperature. The engine would not vibrate nor make any noise. None of the fuel entering the engine would go unused.

Explanation:

In this ideal engine, none of these events would happen due to the nature of the efficiency.

We can define efficiency as the ratio between the used energy and the potential generable energy in the fuel.

n=W, total/(E, available).

However, in real engines the energy generated in the combustion of the fuel transforms into heat (which heates the exhost gases, and the engine therefore transfering some of this heat to the environment). Also, there are some mechanical energy loss due to vibrations and sound, which are also energy that comes from the fuel combustion.

Derive the formula for the moment of inertia of a uniform, flat, rectangular plate of dimensions l and w, about an axis through
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

A uniform thin rod with an axis through the center

Consider a uniform (density and shape) thin rod of mass M and length L as shown in (Figure). We want a thin rod so that we can assume the cross-sectional area of the rod is small and the rod can be thought of as a string of masses along a one-dimensional straight line. In this example, the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the rod and passes through the midpoint for simplicity. Our task is to calculate the moment of inertia about this axis. We orient the axes so that the z-axis is the axis of rotation and the x-axis passes through the length of the rod, as shown in the figure. This is a convenient choice because we can then integrate along the x-axis.

We define dm to be a small element of mass making up the rod. The moment of inertia integral is an integral over the mass distribution. However, we know how to integrate over space, not over mass. We therefore need to find a way to relate mass to spatial variables. We do this using the linear mass density of the object, which is the mass per unit length. Since the mass density of this object is uniform, we can write

λ = m/l (orm) = λl

If we take the differential of each side of this equation, we find

d m = d ( λ l ) = λ ( d l )

since  

λ

is constant. We chose to orient the rod along the x-axis for convenience—this is where that choice becomes very helpful. Note that a piece of the rod dl lies completely along the x-axis and has a length dx; in fact,  

d l = d x

in this situation. We can therefore write  

d m = λ ( d x )

, giving us an integration variable that we know how to deal with. The distance of each piece of mass dm from the axis is given by the variable x, as shown in the figure. Putting this all together, we obtain

I=∫r2dm=∫x2dm=∫x2λdx.

The last step is to be careful about our limits of integration. The rod extends from x=−L/2x=−L/2 to x=L/2x=L/2, since the axis is in the middle of the rod at x=0x=0. This gives us

I=L/2∫−L/2x2λdx=λx33|L/2−L/2=λ(13)[(L2)3−(−L2)3]=λ(13)L38(2)=ML(13)L38(2)=112ML2.
