A curve ball is a type of pitch in which the baseball spins on its axis as it heads for home plate. If a curve ball is thrown at

33.1 m/sm/s (74.0 mphmph) with a spin rate of 35 rev/srev/s, how many revolutions does it complete before reaching home plate

Answer:

19.35 revolutions.

Explanation:

Let the home plate is 18.3 m (60 ft) from the pitching mound and that the baseball travels at a constant velocity.

Given that,

Velocity of ball = v = 34.5 m/s

Spin rate of ball = 26 revolutions/s

Distance between home plate and pitching mound = s = 18.3 m

We need to find the number of revolutions it complete before reaching home plate. It can be calculated as follows:

n=35\times \dfrac{18.3}{33.1}\\\\=19.35

So, there are approx 19.35 revolutions.

Water flows over a section of Niagara Falls at rate of 1.1×10^6 kg/s and falls 49.4 m. How much power is generated by the fallin
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

<em>The power generated is =  5.33×10⁸ Watt. </em>

Explanation:

Power: Power can be defined as the time rate of doing work. The S.I unit of power is <em>Watt(W).</em>

<em>Mathematically,</em>

<em>Power (P) = Work done/time or Energy/time</em>

P = mgh/t............................... Equation 1

P = δgh............................. Equation 2

Where δ = fall rate, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

<em>Given: </em>δ = 1.1×10⁶ kg/s, h = 49.4 m g = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting these values into equation 2

P = 1.1×10⁶×49.4×9.81

P = 533.08×10⁶

<em>P = 5.33×10⁸ Watt.</em>

<em>Thus the power generated is =  5.33×10⁸ Watt. </em>

Use the image to determine the volume of the rock.
maria [59]

Answer:

12 ml

Explanation:

The initial volume in the cylinder is 20 ml

 adding the rock adds volume to the cylinder

       the new volume is 32 ml .....the increase in volume is the volume of the rock :   32 - 20 = 12 ml    volume of rock

A spectral line from a star is observed to have a wavelength of 656.5 nm. The rest wavelength of this line is 656.8 nm. (a) What
nignag [31]

Answer:

speed of star is  1.37 × 10^{5} m/s

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

Explanation:

given data

wavelength = 656.5 nm

rest wavelength = 656.8 nm

to find out

the speed of the star , is it approaching

solution

we know here equation that is

wavelength shift / wavelength at rest  = velocity of source / speed of light

so put all value and find

velocity of source = 3 × 10^{-9} × 3 × 10^{8} / 656.8 × 10^{-9}

velocity of source star = 1.37 × 10^{5} m/s

and

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

and

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

A 1300 kg car starts at rest and rolls down a hill from a height of 10.0 m. It then moves across a
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

0.51 m

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.

Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²

Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring

Potential energy, PE=mgh

Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass

Equating KE=PE

mgh=½kx²

Making x the subject of formula

x=\sqrt {\frac {2mgh}{k}}

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then

x=\sqrt \frac {2*1300*9.81*10}{1000000}=0.50503465227646m\\x\approx 0.51 m
