- You are working part-time for the GT Sports Media Complex, editing video for the women’s softball team. In one particular clip, a GT player hits a home run over the center field fence. The ball leaves the bat at a height of 4 ft, and crosses the outfield fence (220 ft away) at a height of 10 ft. Logs of the game indicate that the pitch was clocked at 68 mph as it reached the plate. Your frame-by-frame analysis of the 30-frame-per-second video indicate that the ball spent only a single frame in contact with tha bat, and another 126 frames travelling to the outfield fence. A quick internet seach tells you that a typical college softball weighs 0.4 lb. How many pounds of average force act on the ball during ocntact with the bat?SITUATION 9. A small projectile is fired vertically downward into a fluid medium with an initial velocity of 60m/s. Due to the drag resistance of the fluid the projectile experiences a deceleration of a = -0.4v³m/s², where v is in m/s. Determine the projectile's velocity and position 4 s after it is fired.M5
- Suppose that in the future humans can travel to different earth like planets within our galaxy. You take a trip to a new planet with a different gravitational acceleration than earth. To test this gravitational acceleration, you decide to drop a ball a distance of 2 meters. You measure how long it takes the ball to fall 2.0 meter multiple times and take an average. The average drop time is 0.52 seconds. What is the approximate magnitude of the gravitational acceleration of the planet (in units of m/s squared)?A boxer's fist and glove have a mass of m = 1.04 kg. The boxer's fist can obtain a speed of v = 9.25 m/s in a time of t = 0.21 s. Write a symbolic expression for the magnitude of the average acceleration, aave, of the boxer's fist, in terms of the variables provided. Find the magnitude of the average acceleration, aave, in meters per square second. Write an expression for the magnitude of the average net force, Fb, that the boxer must apply to his fist to achieve the given velocity. (Write the expression in terms of m, v and t.) What is the numerical value of Fb, in newtons?Bipin
- A car is moving at 18.00[m/s], and comes to a stop in 3.45[s], due to friction acting on the car. Assuming the acceleration is constant, what is the magnitude of the acceleration experienced by the car? Express your answer in m/s2.Elon Musk’s SpaceX is proposing that commercial flights will be ready to go to the Moon in less than three years. Yusaku Maezawa, a Japanese billionaire, is seeking eight artists to join his trip to the Moon. He wants them to inspire everyone by creating artwork after they return to Earth. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is 16.6% of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. To keep the artists comfortable, it is decided that as they lift off from the Moon, the acceleration they experience close to the surface of the Moon should be kept to the equivalent of 2.83 g (1?is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth). What is the maximum thrust that one of the new rockets from Part 2 can withstand under this condition? Note: The weight of the artists is negligible compared to the weight of the rocket (given in part 2), so you can ignore it in your calculations!At what altitude above the Earth's surface is the acceleration due to gravity equal to g/ 2? h = ? m
