Estimate the average force that a major-league pitcher exerts on the baseball when he throws a fastball. Assume the ball moves i

n a straight horizontal line with constant acceleration during the pitch. The distance the pitcher moves the ball during a pitch is about twice his arm length, which is about 3.0 ft. The baseball has a mass of 0.010 slugs and it is pitched with a speed of 92 mph.

Answer:

F = 15 lbf

Explanation:

92 mph (5280 ft/mi) / (3600 s/hr) = 135 ft/s

The work done on the ball changes its kinetic energy

Fd = ½m(vf² - vi²)

vi = 0

F = mvf²/2d

F = 0.010(135²) / 2(2(3.0))

F = 15.1725

A uniform solid disk and a uniform hoop are placed side by side at the top of an incline of height h. If they are released from
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

) the uniform disk has a lower moment of inertia and arrives first.

Explanation:

(a) the uniform disk has a lower moment of inertia and arrives first.

(b) Let's say the disk has mass m and radius r, and

the hoop has mass M and radius R.

disk: initial E = PE = mgh

I = ½mr², so KE = ½mv² + ½Iω² = ½mv² + ½(½mr²)(v/r)² = (3/4)mv² = mgh

m cancels, leaving v² = 4gh / 3

hoop: initial E = Mgh

I = MR², so KE = ½MV² + ½(MR²)(V/R)² = MV² = Mgh

M cancels, leaving V² = gh

Vdisk = √(4gh/3) > Vhoop = √(gh)

A bowling ball rolls off the edge of a cliff, moving horizontally at 20 m/s. I have to plot the position of the bowling ball on

For counting x you use simple equation for the distance covered by the object when it moves with constant velocity:
s=v*t
that gives you 20m after 1st second, 40 m after 2nd second, 60 m after 3rd second and so on.

For counting y you have to use the equation for the distanced covered by the object moving with constantly accelerating velocity (symbols refering to vertical movement):
h=g\frac{t^{2}}{2}
that gives you 5m after 1st second, 20m afters 2nd second, 45m after 3rd second and so on.
Add minus signs before y positions to receive graph presenting the movement of the ball.
So the points are: P1=[20,-5], P2=[40,-20], P3=[60,-45] and so on... Pn=[x,y].

Use the conservation of angular momentum; angular momentum at the beginning = angular momentum at the end 
Conservation of angular momentum: 
I1 w1 = I2 w2 
Where I is the moment of inertia. For a sphere, I=2/5 m R^2. Substituting into the equation above we get 
w2 = I1 w1 / I2 = w1 m1 R1^2 / (m2 R2^2) 
w2 = w1 4 * (R1/R2)^2
= 4*(1)*(7E5/7.5)^2
= 3.48E10 revs/(17days)
= 2.04705882 x 10^9 revs/sec

leonid [27]

Answer:

 the bending moment will be W from either sides

Explanation:

bending moment= force (load) * perpendicular distance, if I understand the question the distance will be 1/2 of the length

=> f x 1/2(l) =W*1/2(2) =W
