Answer:

1 (pitcher), 2 (catcher), 3 (first baseman), 4 (second baseman), 5 (third baseman), 6 (shortstop), 7 (left fielder) 8 (center fielder), and 9 (right fielder)

Explanation:

There are nine fielding positions in baseball. Each position conventionally has an associated number, for use in scorekeeping by the official score

Of the three forces acting on the rock as it slides down the bowl, which (if any) are constant and which are not? explain.

choli [55]

Answer

Hi,

The forces are; weight (gravity), Normal/centripetal force and friction. Force due to gravity is constant where as friction and centripetal are not.

Explanation

Weight is constant, given by the force of gravity on the object. The centripetal force is a function of the angles occurring between the velocity vector and the weight vector that is at right angle with the perpendicular line drawn from the surface. Friction is a function of the centripetal force thus it also varies.

Hope this helps!

A 60kg bicyclist (including the bicycle) is pedaling to the

Fittoniya [83]

a) 4 forces

b) 186 N

c) 246 N

Explanation:

Let's count the forces acting on the bicylist:

1) Weight ( $W=mg$ ): this is the gravitational force exerted on the bicyclist by the Earth, which pulls the bicyclist towards the Earth's centre; so, this force acts downward (m = mass of the bicyclist, g = acceleration due to gravity)

2) Normal reaction (N): this is the reaction force exerted by the road on the bicyclist. This force acts vertically upward, and it balances the weight, so its magnitude is equal to the weight of the bicyclist, and its direction is opposite

3) Applied force ( $F_A$ ): this is the force exerted by the bicylicist to push the bike forward. Its direction is forward

4) Air drag ( $R$ ): this is the force exerted by the air on the bicyclist and resisting the motion of the bike; its direction is opposite to the motion of the bike, so it is in the backward direction

So, we have 4 forces in total.

Here we can find the net force on the bicyclist by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on a body is equal to the product between the mass of the body and its acceleration:

$F_{net}=ma$

where

$F_{net}$ is the net force

m is the mass of the body

a is its acceleration

In this problem we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

$a=3.1 m/s^2$ is its acceleration

Substituting, we find the net force on the bicyclist:

$F_{net}=(60)(3.1)=186 N$

We can write the net force acting on the bicyclist in the horizontal direction as the resultant of the two forces acting along this direction, so:

$F_{net}=F_a-R$

where:

$F_{net}$ is the net force

$F_a$ is the applied force (forward)

$R$ is the air drag (backward)

In this problem we have:

$F_{net}=186 N$ is the net force (found in part b)

$R=60 N$ is the magnitude of the air drag

Solving for $F_a$ , we find the force produced by the bicyclist while pedaling:

$F_a=F_{net}+R=186+60=246 N$

irga5000 [103]

1. What is the major function of the pons?
-Other than serving as a conduction pathway, the pons also contains a nucleus that is essential for breathing.
2. Why is the medulla the most vital part of the brain?
-Medulla is very important because it function for the involuntary movement and processes that happen in the body without giving a thought about it. It performs crucial tasks like regulating the blood pressure.

How to solve number 10

Vinil7 [7]

The 'formulas' to use are just the definitions of 'power' and 'work':

Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

and

Work = (force) x (distance) .

Combine these into one. Take the definition of 'Work', and write it in place of 'work' in the definition of power.

Power = (force x distance) / (time)

From the sheet, we know the power, the distance, and the time. So we can use this one formula to find the force.

Power = (force x distance) / (time)

Multiply each side by (time): (Power) x (time) = (force) x (distance)

Divide each side by (distance): Force = (power x time) / (distance).

Look how neat, clean, and simple that is !

Force = (13.3 watts) x (3 seconds) / (4 meters)

Force = (13.3 x 3 / 4) (watt-seconds / meter)

Force = 39.9/4 (joules/meter)

<em>Force = 9.975 Newtons</em>

Is that awesome or what !
