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

Place the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order from LOWEST energy
Alex

Placing the electromagnetic radiation in order from the lowest energy to the highest energy :  ( 2 ) C,A,B

<h3>Electromagnetic spectrum </h3>

In the electromagnetic spectrum the electromagnetic radiation with the shorter wavelength possess a higher energy while the electromagnetic radiation with a longer wavelength possess the lower energy.

The electromagnetic radiation as listed in the question with the longest wavelength is the radio waves therefore it possess the lowest energy while the radiation with the shortest wavelength is the gamma rays therefore it possess the highest energy.

Hence we can conclude that Placing the electromagnetic radiation in order from the lowest energy to the highest energy :  ( 2 ) C,A,B

Suppose a horse leans against a wall as in the figure below.
Irina18 [472]

The force the horse and the rider exerts on the wall is equal to the weight combined acting in the opposite direction:

<h3>Force</h3>

Given Data

  • mass of horse and rider = 575kg
  • Force  acting on wall = ??

When a body of mass rests on a surface, it exerts a force equal to the weight of the mass but opposite in direct on the mass/object

hence the force is computed as

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 575 * 9.81

Force = 5640.75N

A doppler effect occurs when a source of sound moves. True or False
Shtirlitz [24]
<h2>Answer: True </h2>

The <u>Doppler effect</u> refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other.

In other words, it is the variation of the frequency of a wave due to the relative movement of the source of the wave with respect to its receiver.

It should be noted that this effect  bears its name in honor of the Austrian physicist <u>Christian Andreas Doppler</u>, who in 1842 proposed the existence of this effect for the case of light in the stars. Another important aspect is that the effect occurs in all waves (including light and sound). However, it is more noticeable to humans with sound waves.
