A batter hits a pop-up straight up over home plate at an initial velocity of 21 m/s. the ball is caught by the catcher at the sa

me height that it was hit. at what velocity does the ball land in the catcher's mitt? neglect air resistance. (take the positive direction to be upwards.)

<span>The ball rises, converting the initial Kinetic Energy (KE) into Potential Energy (PE), until it comes to rest at a given height, at which point all of the KE has been converted to PE. At that point, it begins to accelerate back downward, until it reaches the catcher's mitt, at the same KE with which it was initially hit. So overall no change in energy as there is no difference in height so the speed should be same but as positive direction is taken to be upwards and ball is now going down the speed will be -21m/s</span>

Our intial velocity is -21 m/s

 

The computation for this problem would be:

vf² = vi² + 2ad 

vf = +/- sqrt[vi² + 2ad] 

since d = 0, 

vf = +/- sqrt[vi²] 

vf = +/- vi 

vf = -vi, from the time when the final velocity must be in the opposite direction of the initial velocity, the answer would be:

vf = - 21 m/s

An object is placed 18 cm in front of spherical mirror.if the image is formed at 4cm to the right of the mirror, calculate it's
ivolga24 [154]
1) Focal length

We can find the focal length of the mirror by using the mirror equation:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i} (1)
where 
f is the focal length
d_o is the distance of the object from the mirror
d_i is the distance of the image from the mirror

In this case, d_o = 18 cm, while d_i=-4 cm (the distance of the image should be taken as negative, because the image is to the right (behind) of the mirror, so it is virtual). If we use these data inside (1), we find the focal length of the mirror:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{18 cm}- \frac{1}{4 cm}=- \frac{7}{36 cm}
from which we find
f=- \frac{36}{7} cm=-5.1 cm

2) The mirror is convex: in fact, for the sign convention, a concave mirror has positive focal length while a convex mirror has negative focal length. In this case, the focal length is negative, so the mirror is convex.

3) The image is virtual, because it is behind the mirror and in fact we have taken its distance from the mirror as negative.

4) The radius of curvature of a mirror is twice its focal length, so for the mirror in our problem the radius of curvature is:
r=2f=2 \cdot 5.1 cm=10.2 cm

En la siguiente expresión matemáticas w=mg el peso w con relación a se relaciona con la masa m en una proporción
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

a) Directamente proporcional

Explanation:

El peso se puede definir como la fuerza que actúa sobre un cuerpo o un objeto como resultado de la gravedad.

Matemáticamente, el peso de un objeto viene dado por la fórmula;

Peso = mg

Donde;

m es la masa del objeto.

g es la aceleración debida a la gravedad.

De la expresión matemática, podemos deducir que el valor del peso de un objeto es directamente proporcional a la masa del objeto.

Por lo tanto, un aumento en la masa de un objeto provocaría un aumento en el peso del objeto y viceversa.
