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}

Which objects will likely have the smallest gravitational force between them?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

A. Two tennis balls that are near each other  

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force (F) between two objects is

F = \dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{d^{2} }

where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, d is the distance between their centres, and G is the gravitational constant.

Thus, two objects that are far from each other will have a smaller gravitational force. We can eliminate Options C and D.

If the objects are at the same distance, those with the smaller mass will have a smaller force.

The mass of a tennis ball is 57 g.

The mass of a soccer ball is 430 g.

Two tennis balls that are near each other will have a smaller gravitational attraction.

Which telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation?.
son4ous [18]

Space telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation.

<h3>What is telescope?</h3>

A telescope is an optical instrument that uses lenses, curved mirrors, or a combination of both to watch distant objects.

When atoms in a gas reach this temperature, they travel so quickly that when they collide, they release X-ray photons with wavelengths smaller than 10 nanometers.

Because the Earth's atmosphere prevents all X-rays from space, these wavelengths must be seen using space telescopes.

To study short-wavelength radiation, space telescopes must be put in orbit around the Earth.

Hence, space telescope is the correct answer.

The spring of a spring balance is 6.0 in. long when there is no weight on the balance, and it is 8.4 in. long with 4.0 lb hung f
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

W = 55.12 J

Explanation:

Given,

Natural length = 6 in

Force = 4 lb,  stretched length = 8.4 in

We know,

F = k x

k is spring constant

4 = k (8.4-6)

k = 1.67 lb/in

Work done to stretch the spring to 10.1 in.

W =k\int_{6}^{10.1} x

W = \dfrac{k}{2}[x^2]_6^{10.1}

W = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times (10.1^2-6.0^2)

W = 55.12 J

Work done in stretching spring from 6 in to 10.1 in is equal to 55.12 J.
