I need some assistance as to how they got their answer? 2.21 • A Fast Pitch. The fastest measured pitched baseball leftthe pitcher's hand at a speed of 45.0 m/s. If the pitcher was incontact with the ball over a distance of 1.50 m and produced con-stant acceleration, (a) what acceleration did he give the ball, and(b) how much time did it take him to pitch it?[675 m/s^2; (b) 0.0667 s]

Equation of motion are v = u + at; s = ut + (1/2) at² v² = u² + 2as

Answered: peed of 45.0 m/s. If the pitcher was -…

peed of 45.0 m/s. If the pitcher was - a distance of 1.50 m and produced c at acceleration did he give the ball, take him to pitch it?

here is my problem, I need help: One simple model for a person running the 100 mm dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line. If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 11.1 m/sm/s in 2.64 ss , what will be his total time? Express your answer in seconds.
• A finch rides on the back of a Galapagos tortoise, which walksat the stately pace of 0.060 m>s. After 1.5 minutes the finch tires ofthe tortoise’s slow pace, and takes flight in the same direction foranother 1.5 minutes at 11 m>s. What was the average speed of thefinch for this 3.0-minute interval?
An athletic 6ft tall Human walks in a straight line between point A and point B on a flat surface counting every step untill he has covered the distance between points which is precisely 5 kilometers. The journey takes him 1 hour, so he knows that his body moved at a consistent speed of 5kmph. The Human is then shrunk to a perfectly scaled 3mm tall duplicate and is instructed once again to walk a straight line ( under identical conditions ) keeping the same pace and repeating the exact same number of steps that he took at 6ft tall. Question - Is it true that the tiny 3mm tall Human has traveled at a speed 5kph and traversed 5km of distance ?
A runner runs around a circular track of length 400m with a constant speed in 96s starting at the point shown. calculate:a) the displacement after 24s b) the average velocity of the runner c) the instantaneous velocity of the runner after 48s
At the 18th green of the U.S. Open you need to make a 23.5-ftputt to win the tournament. When you hit the ball, giving itan initial speed of 1.54 m>s, it stops 6.00 ft short of the hole.(a) Assuming the deceleration caused by the grass is constant,what should the initial speed have been to just make the putt?(b) What initial speed do you need to make the remaining 6.00-ft putt?

#2) For this problem, ignore air resistance and assume the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.80 m/s². Let's also use up as the positive direction. Report answers to 3 sig figs. ECANSU (A) A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant net acceleration of 32.8 m/s2. The acceleration period lasts for a time of 3.47 s until the fuel is exhausted. Find the height the rocket reaches in the first 3.47 s. Show starting equations, algebra first, show final equations, numbers last. (B) After 3.47s, the fuel runs out and the rocket is now in free fall as it continues its motion. Find the total maximum height the rocket reaches as measured from the ground. Show starting equations, algebra first, show final equations, numbers last.
In a medieval siege, trebuchets were sometimes used to launch objects past fortifications. Suppose a trebuchetis set up to launch a boulder towards a 50 foot tall wall at a speed of 64 feet per second. Note that accelerationdue to gravity is approximately -32 feet per second. Can the boulder clear the wall and, assuming it does, howfast is it going when it hits the ground?Note: Treat this problem as you would any other motion problem, you do not need to consider the launchangle.

The planetary model of the atom pictures electronsorbiting the atomic nucleus much as planets orbit the Sun. Inthis model you can view hydrogen, the simplest atom, ashaving a single electron in a circular orbit 1.06×10−10 m indiameter. (a) If the average speed of the electron in this orbitis known to be 2.20×106 m/s , calculate the number ofrevolutions per second it makes about the nucleus. (b) Whatis the electron’s average velocity?
