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

Write down one fact about each of the following crust, mantle, outer, core, &amp; inner core
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Hope this help you!!

Explanation:

Crust : The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth. It has an average thickness of about 18 miles below land, and around 6 miles below the oceans. The crust is the layer that makes up the Earth's surface and it lies on top of a harder layer, called the mantle.

Mantle : The mantle is the mostly-solid bulk of Earth's interior. The mantle lies between Earth's dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 1,802 miles thick, and makes up a whopping 84% of Earth's total volume

Outer Core : The outer core is the third layer of the Earth. It is the only liquid layer, and is mainly made up of the metals iron and nickel, as well as small amounts of other substances. The outer core is responsible for Earth's magnetic field. As Earth spins on its axis, the iron inside the liquid outer core moves around.

Inner Core : It's Almost The Size of the Moon. The Earth's inner core is surprisingly large, measuring 1,516 miles across. It's Mostly Made of Iron. It Spins Faster Than the Surface of the Earth. It Creates a Magnetic Field.

A 70 kg driver gets into an empty taptap to start the day's work. The springs compress 2.3×10−2 m . What is the effective spring
ANEK [815]

Answer:

29856.521 N/m

Explanation:

m=Mass\ of\ diver=70\ kg\\x=Length\ compressed\ by\ spring=2.3\times 10^{-2}\ m\\a=Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity=9.81\ m/s^2\\F=Force\ exerted\ by\ diver=m\times a\\\Rightarrow F=70\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=686.7\ N\\k=spring\ constant\\F=k\times x\\\Rightarrow k=\frac {F}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\frac {686.7}{2.3\times 10^{-2}}\\\therefore k=29856.521\ N/m
