Watching the World Series (only as an example of physics in action), you wonder about the ability of the catcher to throw out a base runner trying to steal second. Suppose a catcher is crouched down behind the plate when he observes the runner breaking for second. After he gets the ball from the pitcher, he throws as hard as necessary to second base without standing up. If the catcher throws the ball at an angle of 30 degrees from the horizontal so that it is caught at second base at about the same height as that catcher threw it, how much time does it take for the ball to travel the 120 feet from the catcher to second base

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The time is [tex]t_t =   3.7583 \ s [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The angle is  [tex]\theta =  30^o[/tex]

    The horizontal  distance is  [tex]d =  120 \ ft[/tex]

Generally when the ball is at maximum height before descending the velocity is zero and this velocity can be mathematically represented as

      [tex]v =  u  +  at[/tex]

here a =  -g  the negative sign is because the direction of motion is against gravity

So

       [tex]v =  v_i   +  at[/tex]

Here[tex] v_i [/tex] is the vertical  component of the initial  velocity of the ball which is  mathematically

represented as

        [tex]v_i = usin(\theta )[/tex]

So      

=>     [tex]0  =  usin(\theta )  -9.8t[/tex]

Generally the total time taken to travel the 120 ft  is mathematically represented as

        [tex]t_t = \frac{120}{v_h}[/tex]

Here [tex]v_h[/tex] is the horizontal component of the initial velocity which is mathematically represented as

     [tex]v_h  =  u cos(\theta )[/tex]

So

       [tex]t_t = \frac{120}{ u cos(\theta )}[/tex]

Generally the time taken to reach the maximum height is  

      [tex]t = \frac{t_t}{2}[/tex]

=>    [tex]t = \frac{120}{ u cos(\theta )} * \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

=>    [tex]t = \frac{60}{ u cos(\theta )} [/tex]

So

      [tex]0  =  usin(\theta )  -9.8*   [\frac{60}{ u cos(\theta )}][/tex]

        [tex]  usin(\theta )   = 9.8*   [\frac{60}{ u cos(\theta )}][/tex]

       [tex]  usin(\theta ) *  u cos(\theta)  =60*  9.8   [/tex]

        [tex]  u^2 sin(\theta ) cos(\theta)  =60*  9.8   [/tex]

       [tex]  u^2 sin(30 ) cos(30)  =60*  9.8   [/tex]

        [tex]  u^2 * \frac{1}{2}* \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}  =588.6  [/tex]

         [tex]  u^2 *\sqrt{3}  =2354.4 [/tex]

          [tex]  u^2 = 1359.31 [/tex]

        [tex]  u = 36.87 \ ft/s  [/tex]

Substituting this value into the equation for total time

     [tex]t_t = \frac{120}{36.87 cos(30 )}[/tex]

     [tex]t_t =   3.7583 \ s [/tex]

A dragster race car can accelerate from rest to incredible speeds. In one case a dragster is able to finish the 305 m run in 3.64 s. What was the average acceleration during this run?

Answers

Answer:

45.89m/s²

Explanation:

Given

Distance S = 305m

Time t = 3.64s

To get the acceleration during this run, we will apply the equation of motion:

S = ut+1/2at²

Substitute the given parameters into the formula and calculate the value of a

305 = 0+1/2 a(3.64)²

304 = 1/2(13.2496)a

304 = 6.6248a

a = 304/6.6248

a = 45.89m/s²

Hence the average acceleration during this run is 45.89m/s²

Find the distance along an arc on the surface of the earth that subtends a central angle of 1 minutes (1 minute = 1/60 degree). The radius of the earth is 3960 miles. Round to the thousandths. (3 decimal places)

Answers

Answer:

1.152 miles

Explanation:

Given: central angle = 1 minute = [tex](\frac{1}{60}) ^{o}[/tex]

           radius of the earth = 3960 miles

The length of an arc = [tex]\frac{\alpha }{360^{o} }[/tex] 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r

where: [tex]\alpha[/tex] is the central angle, and r is the radius.

Thus,

Distance along the arc = [tex]\frac{\alpha }{360^{o} }[/tex] 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r

Distance along the arc = [tex]\frac{(\frac{1}{60}) ^{o} }{360^{o} }[/tex] x 2 x [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x 3960

                                      = [tex]\frac{(\frac{1}{60}) ^{o} }{360^{o} }[/tex] x 24891.4286

                                      = 1.1524

The required distance along an arc is 1.152 miles.

You are studying circular motion by placing pennies on a turntable and then turning it on so that it will spin. You keep increasing the speed until one of the pennies slips off. You repeat this procedure and observe that the penny close to the outer edge always slip off first. What is the best inference?

1.The penny near the edge has a greater tangential velocity than the one in the center, so it experiences more air resistance. It’s the effect of the air “blowing” it off.

2.The centripetal force required to keep the pennies in place increases with the distance from the center. Eventually, as the turntable spins faster, the friction force between the turntable and the penny near the edge is not enough to supply the required centripetal force.

3.The centrifugal force acting on the pennies is stronger on the one near the edge than the one near the center.

Answers

Answer:

2.The centripetal force required to keep the pennies in place increases with the distance from the center. Eventually, as the turntable spins faster, the friction force between the turntable and the penny near the edge is not enough to supply the required centripetal force.

Explanation:

centripetal force = m ω² R

here m is mass , ω is angular velocity and R is distance of penny from centre

So this force depends upon R

penny on the outer edge will require  greater centripetal force to move in circular path .

The centripetal force will be provided by frictional force of table which is same for both the coin . Hence the penny on the outer edge will slip off first the moment , frictional force reach its maximum value for it . But it will be sufficient to keep in balance the penny nearer to the centre .

The earth has a mass of, MEarth=6.4 X 1024 kg and a radius of REarth= 6.0 X 106meter and it has acceleration due to gravity, gE = 9.8 . One of Jupiter’s moon also has MJmoon = ½ * MEarth =3.2 x 1024 kg with a radius of, RJmoon = ½ * REarth =3.0 x 106 m and gJmoon value unknown. From the information, what is acceleration due to gravity of Jupiter’s moon, gjmoon, comparing to the earth’s acceleration due to gravity, gEarth?

Answers

Answer:

gjmoon = 19.6 m/s2

Explanation:

Applying the Universal Law of Gravitation, the force exerted by the Earth on a mass m, can be written as follows:

       [tex]F_{gE} = m* \frac{G*M_{E} }{R_{E} ^{2} } = m*g_{E}[/tex]

In the same way, the force due to gravity of Jupiter's moon, can be written as follows:

      [tex]F_{gjmoon} = m* \frac{G*M_{Jmoon} }{R_{Jmoon} ^{2} } = m*g_{jmoon} (1)[/tex]

Now, we know the following:

       [tex]M_{Jmoon} = \frac{M_{E} }{2} (2)[/tex]  

      [tex]R_{Jmoon} = \frac{R_{E} }{2} (3)[/tex]

Replacing (2) and (3) in (1), we get:

       [tex]F_{gjmoon} = m* \frac{G*M_{E} }{2*\frac{R_{E} ^{2}}{4} } = m*g_{jmoon} (1) = m* 2* \frac{G*M_{E} }{R_{E} ^{2}} = 2* m*g_{E}[/tex]

      ⇒  [tex]g_{jmoon} = 2* g_{E}[/tex]

       gjmoon = 19.6 m/s2 (in magnitude).

An airline employee tosses two suitcases in rapid succession with a horizontal velocity of 7.2 ft/s onto a 50-lb baggage carrier which is initially at rest. Problem 14.003.a Conservation of momentum: two colliding suitcases Knowing that the final velocity of the baggage carrier is 4.8 ft/s and that the first suitcase the employee tosses onto the carrier has a weight of 30 lb, determine the weight of the other suitcase. (You must provide an answer before moving on to the next part.) The weight of the other suitcase is lb.

Answers

Answer:

m₁ = 70 lb

Explanation:

Here we will use the law of conservation of momentum:

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ + m₃u₃ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ + m₃v₃

where,

m₁ = mass of first suitcase = ?

m₂ = mass of second suitcase = 30 lb

m₃ = mass of baggage carrier = 50 lb

u₁ = initial speed of first suitcase = 7.2 ft/s

u₂ = initial speed of second suitcase = 7.2 ft/s

u₃ = initial speed of baggage carrier = 0 ft/s

v₁ = Final speed of first suitcase = 4.8 ft/s

v₂ = Final speed of second suitcase = 4.8 ft/s

v₃ = Final speed of baggage carrier = 4.8 ft/s

because after collision all three will have same speed

Therefore,

(m₁)(7.2 ft/s) + (30 lb)(7.2 ft/s) + (50 lb)(0 ft/s) = (m₁)(4.8 ft/s) + (30 lb)(4.8 ft/s) + (50 lb)(4.8 ft/s)

(m₁)(7.2 ft/s) + (216 lb ft/s) + (0 lb ft/s) = (m₁)(4.8 ft/s) + (144 lb ft/s) + (240 lb ft/s)

(m₁)(7.2 ft/s) - (m₁)(4.8 ft/s) = 168 lb ft/s

m₁ = (168 lb ft/s)/(2.4 ft/s)

m₁ = 70 lb

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length is  L =  50 cm =  0.50 m  

    The radius is  r =  2.0 cm  =  0.02 m

     The current is I  =  18.0 A

   

Generally the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

         [tex]B = \mu_o  * \frac{N }{L}  *  I[/tex]

Here [tex]\mu_o[/tex] is the permeability of free space with value  

     [tex]\mu_o  =  4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2[/tex]

So

     [tex]B =  4\pi * 10^{-7}  *   \frac{1000}{0.50} *  18.0[/tex]

=>   [tex]B =  0.0452 \  T [/tex]

4. Anthony walks to the pizza place for lunch. He walk 4 km
east, he realized he passed it and then walked 1 km west.
What distance did he cover? What was his displacement?

Answers

Answer:

Distance 5 km, Displacement 3 km east

Explanation:

The distance covered by Anthony is 5 km, while his displacement is 3 km.

Distance and displacement:

The distance is defined as the total length of space covered during motion between the starting point and end point, not necessarily a straight line. Whereas displacement is defined as the minimum distance between two points in space, that is a straight line.

Suppose, if you start from one point and walk for 100 meters then come back at the same point that you started your walk, you would have traveled 2 times 100 meters that is 200 meters. But your displacement will be zero because your starting point and the end point are the same.

The given question clarifies the difference between distance and displacement:

Since Anthony walks 4 km east and then walks 1 km west, the distance covered by him is:

distance = 4 + 1 = 5 km

but as he walks west, he comes closer to the starting point, and his displacement is the distance between the starting point and the end point.

displacement = 4 - 1 = 3 km

You and some friends visit the Florida State Fair and decide to play a game. To play the game you must slide a metal hockey-type puck up a wooden ramp so that it drops through a hole at the top of the ramp. Your prize, if you win, is a large, stuffed gorilla. You realize the secret to winning is giving the puck just enough velocity at the bottom of the ramp to make it to the hole. You estimate the distance from the bottom of the ramp to the hole at about 3 m, and the ramp appears to be inclined with an angle of 10o from the horizontal. You just got out of physics class and recall the coefficient of static friction between steel and wood is 0.1 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between steel and wood is 0.08. The mass of the puck is about 1 kg. You decide to impress your friends by sliding the puck at the precise speed on the first try so as to land it in the hole. You slide the puck at 2.0 m/sec. Do you win the stuffed poodle? Let g = 10 m/s2. Note: A slightly too hard throw will win since your aim is so good the puck would drop in the hole.

Answers

Answer:

No you didn't win the stuffed poodle

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The distance of the ramp to the hole is  d =  3 m \

     The angle of inclination is  [tex]\theta  =  10^o[/tex]

       The coefficient of static friction is [tex]\mu_s = 0.1[/tex]

     The coefficient of kinetic  friction is [tex]\mu_k = 0.08[/tex]

      The mass of the puck is  m  =  1 kg

     The velocity of the first slide  is  [tex]v_1  =  2.0 m/s[/tex]

       

Generally the kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp  is equal the energy loss due to friction and this can be mathematically represented as

    [tex]\frac{1}{2} m *  v^  2 =  \mu_k * [m *  g] *  cos (theta )  *  d[/tex]

=>     [tex]\frac{1}{2}  *  v^  2 = 0.08 * 9.8 *  cos (10 )  *  3[/tex]

=>     [tex] v=  2.17 \  m/s [/tex]

Comparing the relative velocity obtained and the velocity of your first throw we can see that you didn't win the stuffed animal
