A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. Use the vertical motio

n model, h = -16t2 + vt +s, where y is the initial velocity in feet per second and s is the height in feet, to calculate the amount of time the baseball is in the air before it hits the ground. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary Time in air: _______ seconds​

Answer:

3.25 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. The equation for his motion is as follows :

h=-16t^2+vt+s

Where

s is the height in feet

For the given condition, the equation becomes:

h=-16t^2+50t+7

When it hits the ground, h = 0

i.e.

-16t^2+50t+7=0

It is a quadratic equation, we find the value of t,

t = 3.25 seconds and t = -0.134 s

Neglecting negative value

Hence, for 3.25 seconds the baseball is in the air before it hits the ground.

One of the harmonics on a string 1.30m long has a frequency of 15.60 Hz. The next higher harmonic has a frequency of 23.40 Hz. F
Alja [10]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{(a) 7.800 Hz; (b) 20.3 m/s; 40.6 m/s; 60.8 m/s}}

Explanation:

a) Fundamental frequency

A harmonic is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

\dfrac{\text{23.40 Hz}}{\text{15.60 Hz}} = \dfrac{1.500}{1} \approx \dfrac{3}{2}

f = \dfrac{\text{24.30 Hz}}{3} = \textbf{7.800 Hz}

b) Wave speed

(i) Calculate the wavelength

In a  fundamental vibration, the length of the string is half the wavelength.

\begin{array}{rcl}L & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\text{1.30 m} & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\lambda & = & \text{2.60 m}\\\end{array}

(b) Calculate the speed s

\begin{array}{rcl}v_{1}& = & f_{1}\lambda\\& = & \text{7.800 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{20.3 m/s}\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{rcl}v_{2}& = & f_{2}\lambda\\& = & \text{15.60 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{40.6 m/s}\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{rcl}v_{3}& = & f_{3}\lambda\\& = & \text{23.40 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{60.8 m/s}\\\end{array}

While Bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the
____ [38]

As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.
