A 50 kg pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 0. 15 kg. If the ball is thrown with a positive velocity of 35 m/s and there is

no net force on the system, what is the velocity of the pitcher? â’0. 1 m/s â’0. 2 m/s â’0. 7 m/s â’1. 4 m/s.

The velocity of the pitcher at the given mass is 0.1 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the pitcher, m₁ = 50 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of the baseball, m₂ = 0.15 kg</em>
  • <em>Velocity of the ball, u₂ = 35 m/s</em>

<em />

Let the velocity of the pitcher = u₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the velocity of the pitcher as shown below;

m₁u₁ = m₂u₂

u_1 = \frac{m_2 u_2}{m_1} \\\\u_1 = \frac{0.15 \times 35}{50} \\\\u_1 = 0.105 \ m/s\\\\u_1 \approx 0.1 \ m/s

Thus, the velocity of the pitcher at the given mass is 0.1 m/s.

A flywheel with radius of 0.400 mm starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.600 rad/s2rad/s2.
charle [14.2K]

Answer: 0.00024\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Radius of flywheel is r=0.4\ mm

Angular acceleration \alpha=0.6\ rad/s^2

For no change in radius, tangential acceleration is  given as

\Rightarrow a_t=a\lpha \times r

Insert the values

\Rightarrow a_t=0.6\times 0.4\times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2\\\Rightarrow a_t=2.4\times 10^{-4}\ m/s^2\ \text{or}\ 0.00024\ m/s^2
