A pitching machine is programmed to pitch baseballs horizontally at a speed of 87 mph . The machine is mounted on a truck and ai

med backward. As the truck drives away from a man at a speed of 65 mph, the machine shoots a ball towards him.
For each of the object pairings listed below, determine the correct relative speed.

a - The speed of the pitching machine relative to the truck

b - the speed of the pitched ball relative to the truck

c - the speed of the pitching machine relative to him

d - the speed of the pitched ball relative to him

Answer:

A) The speed of the pitching machine in relation to the truck is 0 m/s

B) The speed of the ball in relation to the truck is 87 mph.

C) The speed of the pitching machine compared to him is 65 mph.

D) The speed of the pitched ball with respect to him is 87 mph - 65 mph = 22 mph.

A 45.0-kg person steps on a scale in an elevator. The scale reads 460 n. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the elevat
ValentinkaMS [3465]
The elevator's acceleration is 0.422 m/s². To clarify the solution: By applying Newton's Law, the net forces in the motion's direction equal the mass multiplied by the acceleration. The forces comprise 460 N in the motion's direction and the person's weight acting in the opposite direction... The weight is determined by the mass and gravity's acceleration (W = mg). Here m = 45 kg and g = 9.8 m/s², leading to W = 441 N. With the scale indicating 460 N, we apply F - W = ma, yielding 19 = 45 a. Dividing both sides by 45 gives a = 0.422 m/s².

Determine the final state and temperature of 100 g of water originally at 25.0°c after 50.0 kj of heat have been added to it.
inna [3103]
The heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is represented by
Q=m C_p \Delta T
where m stands for the mass of the substance and C_p indicates the specific heat of the substance. In this situation, we possess m=100~g=0.1~Kg and C_p=4.19~KJ/(Kg K), the specific heat of water.
Consequently, we can ascertain the temperature rise \Delta T:
\Delta T = \frac{Q}{m C_p}= \frac{50~KJ}{0.1~Kg cdot 4.19~KJ/(Kg K)}=119~K =119^{\circ}C
Initially, the water's temperature was 25^{\circ}C, so the end temperature should be
T_f = 25^{\circ}C+119^{\circ}C=144^{\circ}C
Thus, the water is expected to be vapor by now.

However, to give a more accurate statement, during the liquid to vapor transition, the heat added to the system is used to break molecular bonds instead of raising the system's temperature. The heat necessary for the phase change from liquid to vapor is expressed as
Q=m C_L=0.1~Kg \cdot 2265~KJ/Kg=226.5~KJ
where C_L denotes the latent heat of vaporization for water.
Nevertheless, the initial heat input of 50 KJ is less than this requirement, indicating there isn't sufficient heat to finish the liquid-vapor transition. Therefore, the water will remain in the liquid-vapor change phase at a temperature of 100^{\circ}C (the temperature at which the phase change begins)

A vector of magnitude 10 has an angle with the positive x axis (east) of 120 degrees. what are its components
Softa [3030]
The angle formed with the positive x-axis is 120 degrees. We can assume that this angle is determined in a counterclockwise direction from the positive x-axis. The x-component of the vector can be calculated as: x-component = 10 cos(120) = -5. The vector's y-component is determined as: y-component = 10 sin(120) = 8.66. The x-component equates to -5 while the y-component equals 8.66.

A force of only 150 N can lift a 600 N sack of flour to a height of 0.50 m when using a lever as shown in the diagram below. a.
Softa [3030]
The question lacks clarity. The advantage of lifting with a lever is that it allows you to apply force in a more manageable direction and necessitates far less force to lift an object by balancing the torque exerted by it. For instance, if you aim to lift an object weighing 4N with a force of 2N, utilizing a class 2 lever while maintaining a distance ratio between the body and the force application point from the fulcrum of 1:2 is adequate. In any scenario, one should balance the torque to achieve the desired force.
