At a baseball game, the batter hit a fly ball at time t = 0 s. The outfielder caught the ball at t = 5.8 s. When was the ball at
Agata [3.3K]
We have the following equation for height:
 h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
 Where,
 a: acceleration
 vo: initial speed
 h0: initial height.
 The value of the acceleration is:
 a = -g = -9.8 m / s ^ 2
 For t = 0 we have:
 h (0) = (1/2) * (a) * 0 ^ 2 + vo * 0 + h0
 h (0) = h0
 h0 = 0 (reference system equal to zero when the ball is hit).
 For t = 5.8 we have:
 h (5.8) = (1/2) * (- 9.8) * (5.8) ^ 2 + vo * (5.8) + 0
 (1/2) * (- 9.8) * (5.8) ^ 2 + vo * (5.8) + 0 = 0
 vo = (1/2) * (9.8) * (5.8)
 vo = 28.42
 Substituting values we have:
 h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
 h (t) = (1/2) * (- 9.8) * t ^ 2 + 28.42 * t + 0
 Rewriting:
 h (t) = -4.9 * t ^ 2 + 28.42 * t
 The maximum height occurs when:
 h '(t) = -9.8 * t + 28.42
 -9.8 * t + 28.42 = 0
 t = 28.42 / 9.8
 t = 2.9 seconds.
 Answer:
 
The ball was at maximum elevation when:
 
t = 2.9 seconds.

Sara is riding her bike down the road at 35 km/hr. She starts to peddle faster as she
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Distance covered to top of the hill was : 1.755 km

Explanation:

Initial velocity = 35 km/hr

Acceleration = 2.0 km/hr²

Time taken to accelerate = 3 minutes = 3/60 hours = 1/20 hours

Formula for acceleration : a = Δv /t  

v-u/t    ---where u is initial velocity , v is final velocity and t is time taken for acceleration

v- 35 / 0.05 = 2

v = 35.10 km/h

Formula for distance is product of speed and time

Distance covered = 35.10 * 0.05 = 1.755 km

You place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then lay a 1.60 kg book on top of the spring and release the book
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Compression in the spring, x = 3.7 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the book, m = 1.6 kg

It can be assumed the spring constant of the spring is, k = 840 N/m

As the book moves down, the change in potential energy of the book is converted to spring potential energy of compression. The mathematical expression is as follows :

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgx

x=\dfrac{2mg}{k}

x=\dfrac{2\times 1.6\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}{840\ N/m}  

x = 0.037 meters

or

x = 3.7 cm

So, the spring is compressed to a distance of 3.7 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.
