Details are missing in the question. Complete text of the problem:

"The gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.28 N down. A pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 16.5 m/s by uniformly accelerating it along a straight horizontal line for a time interval of 181 ms. The ball starts from rest.

(a) Through what distance does it move before its release? (m)
(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball? (Enter your magnitude to at least one decimal place.)"


Solution

(a) The pitcher accelerates the baseball from rest to a final velocity of v_f = 16.5 m/s, so \Delta v=16.5 m/s, in a time interval of \Delta t = 181 ms=0.181 s. The acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction (x-axis) is therefore

a_x =  \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}= \frac{16.5 m/s}{0.181 s}=91.2 m/s^2

And the distance covered by the ball during this time interval, before it is released, is:

S= \frac{1}{2} a_x (\Delta t)^2 = \frac{1}{2} (91.2 m/s^2)(0.181 s)^2=1.49 m

(b) For this part we need to consider also the weight of the ball, which is W=mg=2.28 N

From this, we find its mass: m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{2.28 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=0.23 Kg

Now we can calculate the magnitude of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball. On the x-axis, we have

F_x = m a_x = (0.23 kg)(91.2 m/s^2)=20.98 N

We also know that the ball is moving straight horizontally. This means that the vertical component of the force exerted by the pitcher must counterbalance the weight of the ball (acting downward), in order to have a net force of zero along the y-axis, and so:

F_y=W=mg=2.28 N (upward)

So, the magnitude of the force is

F= \sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}=  \sqrt{(20.98N)^2+(2.28N)^2}=21.2 N

To find the direction, we should find the angle of F with respect to the horizontal. This is given by

\tan \alpha =  \frac{F_y}{F_x}= \frac{2.28 N}{20.98 N}=0.11

From which we find \alpha=6.2^{\circ}

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

<em>If the Universe holds enough matter, including dark matter, the combined gravitational attraction of everything will gradually halt this expansion and precipitate the ultimate collapse. Over time, galaxies, then individual stars, will smash into each other more frequently, killing off any life on nearby planets.</em>

A voltage amplifier with an input resistance of 40k ohms, an output resistance of 100 ohms, and a gain of 300 V/V is connected b
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

89.45 v/v

Explanation:

Let's take the data:

First draw the amplifier circuit.

After the circuit, the voltage division rule can be used to compute the parameters:

The input section is computed like this: \frac{R_{in} }{(R_{sig}  + R_{in} }  (v_{sig})

The output section is computed like this R_{L}/ (R_out}  + R_{in} )

The product AV_{in} V_{out} gives

AV_{in} V_{out}  = A×\frac{R_{in} }{(R_{sig}  + R_{in} }  (v_{sig})×R_{L}/ (R_out}  + R_{in} )

Computing gives output voltage = 89.45 v/v
