A baseball diamond is a square (don’t be fooled that it is usually shown rotated by 45°). Each side of the square is 90 feet lon

A line from second to home creates a right triangle with 45 degree angles.

This makes the diagonal line the side length of the square multiplied by the sqrt(2)

Second to home = 90sqrt(2) = 127.279 feet ( round answer as needed)

Answer:

a)-2m/s^2

b)27.2m/s

Explanation:

Hello! The first step to solve this problem is to find the mass of the block remembering that the definition of weight force is mass by gravity (g=9.8m / s ^ 2)

W=455N=weight

W=mg

W=455N=weight

m=\frac{W}{g} =\frac{455}{9.81}=46.38kg

The second step is to draw the free body diagram of the body (see attached image) and use Newton's second law that states that the sum of the forces is equal to mass by acceleration

a=\frac{T-W}{m} =\frac{361-455}{46.38kg} =-2m/s^2

for point b we use the equations of motion with constant acceleration to find the velocity

Vf=\sqrt{X(2)(a)+Vo^2}

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed =0

A = acceleration =2m/s

X = displacement =6.8m

Solving

Vf=\sqrt{(6.8)(2)(2)+0^2}=27.2m/s

4. Two forces act on a 2 kg object as shown. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the object?
aleksandrvk [35]

The resultant force on the object is

∑ <em>F</em> = 〈0, 8〉 N + 〈6, 0〉 N = 〈6, 8〉 N

which has a magnitude of

<em>F</em> = √((6 N)² + (8 N)²) = √(100 N²) = 10 N

By Newton's second law, the acceleration has magnitude <em>a</em> such that

<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em>

10 N = (2 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = (10 N) / (2 kg)

<em>a</em> = 5 m/s²

so the answer is B.

Which "spheres" are interacting when water evaporates from plants
Novay_Z [31]
The plant grows in the solid part of earth, the lithosphere. When water evaporates from the plant, it enters the hydrosphere, the portion if earth on kand and in the air that contains water. The atmosphere is part of the hydrosphere.
