Mickey Mantle is recognized as baseball's unofficial king of long home runs. On April 17, 1953 Mantle blasted a pitch by Chuck Stobbs of the hapless Washington Senators out of Griffith Stadium, just clearing the 50 ft wall at the 391 ft marker in left center. Assuming that the ball left the bat at a height of 3 ft above the ground and at an angle of
(a) the speed of the ball as it left the bat
(b) the maximum height of the ball
(c) the distance along the ground from home plate to where the ball struck the ground.

- A gear train consists of three gears meshed together (Figure 9). The middle gear is known as an idler. Show that the angular velocity of the third gear does not depend on the number of teeth of the idler gear (Gear 2).arrow_forwardA bee fles around a room at an altitude of 2= 2.3 meters making circles, so that its r coordinate varies from 1.3 to 1.9 meters, and its y coordinate varies from 2.2 to 2.8 meters. The bee completes one circle every 2.3 seconds. At sime=0 seconds, the bee's y coordinate is 2.8 meters and its velocity vector is completely in the +i direction. Write parametric equations to describe the motion of the bee z(t)= sin(2p/23)+22 y(t) =30(2pit2:3)+1.9 z(t) = 23arrow_forwardThe center field fence in a ballpark is 7 feet high and 408 feet from home plate. A baseball is hit at a point h = 2.5 feet above the ground. It leaves the bat at an angle of ? degrees with the horizontal at a speed of 110 miles per hour. Write a set of parametric equations that model the path of the baseball. (Let t be in seconds and let x and y be in feet.) Find the minimum angle required for the hit to be a home run. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)arrow_forward
- Jack and Jill are 6th graders. Jill is on a merry-go-round that has a radius of 8 feet. Jack runs, pushing it until the merry-go-round is spinning at 6 rpm. He then jumps on and holds onto a rail at the outside edge. After a couple of times around, Jill is tired of sharing the merry-go-round, so she pushes Jack off the ride. What is Jack's linear velocity in feet/second as he flies through the air? Round to one decimal.arrow_forwardA ball is thrown with an initial velocity of 70 km per second, at an angleof 35° with the horizontal. Find the vertical and horizontal componentsof the velocity.arrow_forwardThe angular velocity of a wheel is 10 revolutions per second. What is the linear velocity in cm per second of a point on the rim if the diameter of the wheel is 60 cm?arrow_forward
- A tracking radar lies in the vertical plane of the path of a rocket which is coasting in unpowered flight above the atmosphere (Figure Q7). For the instant when ? = 30°, the tracking data give r = 25(104) ft, ?̇ = 4000 ft /sec, and ?̇ = 0.80 deg/sec. The acceleration of the rocket is due only to gravitational attraction and for its particular altitude is 31.4 ft/???2 vertically down. For these conditions determine the velocity v of the rocket.arrow_forward9x2 Zvcos²0 y = xtane +%.

The point where said door is placed in the programming of the robotic arm in the X, Y plane is located at the coordinates (5, sqrt (3)). A modification is made in the assembly line and due to the new conditions of the process it is required to rotate the coordinates from this point to 30 °. Determine what will now be the new point where the door will be placed?arrow_forwardFind three different parametrizations of the graph of y = x3.arrow_forward
