Answer:
b) v_y = 4.57 m / s
a) vₓ = 4.43 m / s
Explanation:
This is an exercise in kinematics, where we assume that the acceleration is in the direction of the force and the initial body with zero velocity
v = v₀ + a t
v = 0 + a t
v = 186 0.0342
v = 6.36 m / s
let's use trigonometry to decompose this velocity
sin 45.9 = v_y / v
cos 45.9 = vₓ / v
v_y = v sin 45.9
vₓ = v cos 45.9
v_y = 6.36 sin 45.9
vₓ = 6.36 cos 45.9
v_y = 4.57 m / s
vₓ = 4.43 m / s

The fastest pitched baseball was clocked at 47 m/s. Assume that the pitcher exerted his force (assumed to be horizontal and constant) over a distance of 1.0 mm, and a baseball has a mass of 145 g.
Required:
a. Draw a free-body diagram of the ball during the pitch.
b. What force did the pitcher exert on the ball during this record-setting pitch?
c. Estimate the force in part b as a fraction of the pitcher's weight.
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
For point a:
Find the schematic of the empty body and in attachment. Upon on ball during the pitch only two forces act:
The strength of the pitcher F is applied that operates horizontally. Its gravity force acting on an object is termed weight, which value is where m denotes mass, and g the acceleration of gravity.
For point b:
[tex]160.2\ N[/tex]
First, they must find that ball's acceleration. You can use the SUVAT equation to achieve that
where
[tex]v = 47\ \frac{m}{s} \\\\u = 0 \\\\a =?\\\\d = 1.0 \ m \\\\[/tex]
Solving for a,
[tex]a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{47^2-0}{2(1.0)}=1104.5 \ \frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
Calculating the mass:
[tex]m = 145 g = 0.145 kg[/tex]
Calculating the force:
[tex]F=ma=0.145 \times 1104.5= 160.2 \ N[/tex]
For point c:
0.195 times the pitcher's weight
[tex]m = 84 \ kg \\\\g = 9.8\ \frac{m}{s^2}\\\\[/tex]
Solving for W:
[tex]W=84 \times 9.8= 823.2 \ N[/tex]
Now the force of Part B could be defined as the fraction of the mass of the pitcher:
[tex]\frac{F}{W}=\frac{160.2}{823.3}=0.195[/tex]
A tennis ball of mass of 0.06 kg is initially traveling at an angle of 47o to the horizontal at a speed of 45 m/s. It then was shot by the tennis player and return horizontally at a speed of 35 m/s. Find the impulse delivered to the ball.
Answer:
The impulse delivered to the ball is [tex]Imp = \left(-3.941, 1.975\right)\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right][/tex].
Explanation:
By Impulse Theorem, the motion of the tennis ball is modelled after the following expression:
[tex]Imp = m\cdot (\vec v_{f} - \vec v_{o})[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the ball, in kilograms.
[tex]\vec v_{o}[/tex] - Vector of the initial velocity, in meters per second.
[tex]\vec v_{f}[/tex] - Vector of the final velocity, in meters per second.
[tex]Imp[/tex] - Impulse, in meters per second.
If we know that [tex]m = 0.06\,kg[/tex], [tex]\vec v_{o} = \left(45\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (\cos 47^{\circ}, \sin 47^{\circ})[/tex] and [tex]\vec v_{f} = \left(35\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (-1, 0)[/tex], then the impulse delivered to the ball is:
[tex]Imp = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left[\left(35\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (-1,0) -\left(45\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (\cos 47^{\circ}, \sin 47^{\circ})\right][/tex]
[tex]Imp = (0.06\,kg)\cdot (-65.670, -32.911)\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right][/tex]
[tex]Imp = \left(-3.941, 1.975\right)\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right][/tex]
The impulse delivered to the ball is [tex]Imp = \left(-3.941, 1.975\right)\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right][/tex].

A certain microscope is provided with objectives that have focal lengths of 20 mm , 4 mm , and 1.4 mm and with eyepieces that have angular magnifications of 5.00 × and 15.0 × . Each objective forms an image 120 mm beyond its second focal point.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
Focal length for the objective lens = 20 mm, 4 mm, 1.4 mm
For objective lens of focal length f₁ = 20 mm
s₁' = 120 mm + 20 mm = 140 mm
∴
Magnification [tex]m_1 = \dfrac{s'_1}{f_1}[/tex]
[tex]m_1 = \dfrac{140}{20}[/tex]
[tex]m_1 = 7 \ m[/tex]
For objective lens of focal length f₁ = 4 mm
s₁' = 120 mm + 4 mm = 124 mm
[tex]m_1 = \dfrac{s'_1}{f_1}[/tex]
[tex]m_1 = \dfrac{124}{4}[/tex]
[tex]m_1 = 31 \ m[/tex]
For objective lens of focal length f₁ = 1.4 mm
s₁' = 120 mm + 1.4 mm = 121.4 mm
[tex]m_1 = \dfrac{s'_1}{f_1}[/tex]
[tex]m_1 = \dfrac{121.4}{1.4}[/tex]
[tex]m_1 = 86.71 \ m[/tex]
The magnification of the eyepiece is given as:
[tex]m_e = 5X \ and \ m_e = 15X[/tex]
Thus, the largest angular magnification when [tex]m_1 \ and \ m_e \ are \ large \ is:[/tex]
[tex]M_{large}= (m_1)_{large} \times (m_e)_{large}[/tex]
= 86.71 × 15
= 1300.65
The smallest angular magnification derived when [tex]m_1 \ and \ m_e \ are \ small \ is:[/tex]
[tex]M_{small}= (m_1)_{small} \times (m_e)_{small}[/tex]
= 7 × 5
= 35
The largest magnification will be 1300.65 and the smallest magnification will be 35.
What is magnification?Magnification is defined as the ratio of the size of the image of an object to the actual size of the object.
Now for objective lens and eyepieces, it is defined as the ratio of the focal length of the objective lens to the focal length of the eyepiece.
It is given in the question:
Focal lengths for the objective lens is = 20 mm, 4 mm, 1.4 mm
now we will calculate the magnification for all three focal lengths of the objective lens.
Also, each objective forms an image 120 mm beyond its second focal point.
(1) For an objective lens of focal length [tex]f_1=20 \ mm[/tex]
[tex]s_1'=120\ mm +20 \ mm =140\ mm[/tex]
Magnification will be calculated as
[tex]m_1=\dfrac{s_1'}{f_1} =\dfrac{140}{20} =7[/tex]
(2) For an objective lens of focal length [tex]f_1= \ 4 \ mm[/tex]
s₁' = 120 mm + 4 mm = 124 mm
[tex]m_1=\dfrac{s_1'}{f_1} =\dfrac{124}{4} =31[/tex]
(3) For an objective lens of focal length [tex]f_1=1.4\ mm[/tex]
s₁' = 120 mm + 1.4 mm = 121.4 mm
[tex]m_1=\dfrac{s_1'}{f_1} =\dfrac{121.4}{1.4} =86.71[/tex]
Now the magnification of the eyepiece is given as:
[tex]m_e=5x\ \ \ & \ \ m_e=15x[/tex]
Thus, the largest angular magnification when
[tex]m_1 = 86.17\ \ \ \ m_e=15x[/tex]
[tex]m_{large}= (m_1)_{large}\times (m_e)_{large}[/tex]
[tex]m_{large}=86.71\times 15=1300.65[/tex]
The smallest angular magnification derived when
[tex]m_1=7\ \ \ \ m_e=5[/tex]
[tex]m_{small}=(m_1)_{small}\times (m_e)_{small}[/tex]
[tex]m_{small}=7\times 5=35[/tex]
Thus the largest magnification will be 1300.65 and the smallest magnification will be 35.

P5. A bullet with an initial velocity of 280 m/s in the x-direction penetrates an initially stationary block of mass 11 kg and emerges on the other side with a final velocity of 70 m/s in the x-direction. The velocity of the block after the collision is 0.2 m/s, also in the x-direction. Assume the block slides on a horizontal frictionless surface. What is the mass of the bullet
Answer:
the mass of the bullet is 10.5 g
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity, u₁ = 280 m/s
final velocity of the bullet, v₁ = 70 m/s
final velocity of the block, v₂ = 0.2 m/s
mass of the block, m₂ = 11 kg
initial velocity of the block, u₂ = 0
let the mass of the bullet = m₁
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for elastic collision to calculate the mass of the bullet.
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
280m₁ + 11(0) = 70m₁ + 11 x 0.2
280m₁ = 70m₁ + 2.2
280m₁ - 70m₁ = 2.2
210m₁ = 2.2
m₁ = 2.2/210
m₁ = 0.0105 kg
m₁ = 10.5 g
Therefore, the mass of the bullet is 10.5 g
how can the starch be removed from the leaves of potted plants
Answer:
Explanation:
There are two main ways to de-starch leaves of a plant - the 'Light Exclusion' Method and the 'Carbon Dioxide Deprivation' Method. The 'Light Exclusion' method is a simpler procedure and is used often. Leaves can be destarched by depriving them of light for an extended period of time, usually 24-48 hours.
The two most prominent wavelengths in the light emitted by a hydrogen discharge lamp are 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). Light from a hydrogen lamp illuminates a diffraction grating with 550 lines/mm , and the light is observed on a screen 1.7 m behind the grating.

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Answer:
Δd = 7.22 10⁻² m
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use the dispersion relationship of a diffraction grating
d sin θ = m λ
let's use trigonometry
tan θ = y / L
how the angles are small
tant θ = sinθ /cos θ = sin θ
we substitute
sin θ = y / L
d y / L = m λ
y = m λ L / d
let's use direct ruler rule to find the distance between two slits
If there are 500 lines in 1 me, what distance is there between two lines
d = 2/500
d = 0.004 me = 4 10⁻⁶ m
diffraction gratings are built so that most of the energy is in the first order of diffraction m = 1
let's calculate for each wavelength
λ = 656 nm = 656 10⁻⁹ m
d₁ = 1 656 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 4 10⁻⁶
d₁ = 2.788 10⁻¹ m
λ = 486 nm = 486 10⁻⁹ m
d₂ = 1 486 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 4 10⁻⁶
d₂ = 2.066 10⁻¹ m
the distance between the two lines is
Δd = d1 -d2
Δd = (2,788 - 2,066) 10⁻¹
Δd = 7.22 10⁻² m

reviews the general principles in this problem. A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle of 13.0 ° above the horizontal. It returns to ground level. To what value should the launch angle be adjusted, without changing the launch speed, so that the range doubles?
Answer: θ would equal approximately 28.7°
This is a kinematics problem, where one is only given the theta value 13.0° in regards to the range; thus, the problem is testing one's understanding of the relationships between the variables.
Range (aka x) = (v₀ sin (2θ₀))/g, where θ₀ = 13.0°
Now if we multiply the range by 2, we get:
2x = 2((v₀ sin (2θ₀))/g) → to verbalize, if range equates to (v₀ sin (2θ₀))/g, and doubling the range equals twice the product value, then:
2θ = sin⁻¹(2sin(2(13.0° )) = sin⁻¹(2(0.76255845048)) = sin⁻¹ (1.52511690096) = 57.35560850015109°/2 = θ
Thus, θ = 28.67780425

A laser beam enters one of the sloping faces of the equilateral glass prism (n=1.42) and refracts through the prism. Within the prism the light travels horizontally. What is the angle between the direction of the incident ray and the direction of the outgoing ray?
Answer:
30.5°
Explanation:
Since the light travels horizontally through the prism, it undergoes minimum deviation. So, the angle between the direction of the incident ray and that of the outgoing ray D is gotten from
n = [sin(D + α)/2]/sin(α/2) where n = refractive index of prism = 1.42 and α = angle of prism = 60° (since it is a n equilateral glass prism).
Making D subject of the formula, we have
n = [sin(D + α)/2]/sin(α/2)
nsin(α/2) = [sin(D + α)/2]
(D + α)/2 = sin⁻¹[nsin(α/2)]
D + α = 2sin⁻¹[nsin(α/2)]
D = 2sin⁻¹[nsin(α/2)] - α
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
D = 2sin⁻¹[nsin(α/2)] - α
D = 2sin⁻¹[1.42sin(60°/2)] - 60°
D = 2sin⁻¹[1.42sin(30°)] - 60°
D = 2sin⁻¹[1.42 × 0.5] - 60°
D = 2sin⁻¹[0.71] - 60°
D = 2(45.23°) - 60°
D = 90.46° - 60°
D = 30.46°
D ≅ 30.5°
A 0.25 kg mass is placed on a vertically oriented spring that is stretched 0.56 meters from its equilibrium position. If the spring constant is 105 N/m, how fast will the mass be moving when it reaches the equilibrium position? Hint: You cannot ignore the change in gravitational potential energy in this problem. Please give your answer in units of m/s, however, do not explicitly include units when typing your answer into the answer box.
Answer:
The speed of the ball when it reaches equilibrium position is 3.31 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the object, m = 0.25 kg
initial displacement of the object, h₁ = 0.56 m
spring constant, k = 105 N/m
displacement at equilibrium position, h₂ = 0
initial velocity of the object, v₁ = 0
velocity of the object at equilibrium position = v₂
The change in gravitational potential energy at the equilibrium position is given as;
ΔP.E = mg(h₂ - h₁)
The change in kinetic energy of the object at the equilibrium position is given as;
ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(v₂² - v₁²)
Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy;
ΔK.E + ΔP.E = 0
¹/₂m(v₂² - v₁²) + mg(h₂ - h₁) = 0
¹/₂m(v₂² - 0) + mg(0 - h₁) = 0
¹/₂mv₂² - mgh₁ = 0
¹/₂mv₂² = mgh
¹/₂v₂² = gh
v₂² = 2gh
v₂ = √2gh
v₂ = √(2 x 9.8 x 0.56)
v₂ = 3.31 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the ball when it reaches equilibrium position is 3.31 m/s

So, the decay constant is [tex]1.39\times 10^{-4}\ s^{-1}[/tex].
