Question

Question 3: A baseball pitcher is employing a ballistic pendulum to determine the speed of fastball. A 4.0 kg lump of clay is suspended from a cord 2.0 m long. When the pitcher throws fastball aimed directly at the clay, the ball suddenly becomes embedded in the clay and the swing up to a maximum height of 0.1 m as shown. If the mass of the baseball is 0.2 kg, find: a. The speed of the pitched baseball. b. The initial momentum of the baseball. . If the same baseball caused the clay lump to swing twice as high (0.2 m) what was the original speed of that pitched ball?

A baseball pitcher is employing a ballistic pendulum to determine the speed of his fastball. A 3.3-kg lump of clay is suspended from a cord 2.0 m long. When the pitcher throws his fastball aimed diretly at the clay, the ball suddenly becomes embedded in the clay and the two swing up to a maximum height of 0.080. If the mass of the baseball is 0.21kg, find the speed of the pitched ball. SHOW WORK!

A baseball player throws a 0.2 kg ball (Ball A) from the top of a 10 m tall hill with a velocity of 40 m/s. Suppose that another ball (Ball B) with identical mass was dropped, not thrown, from the same height at the same time the first ball was thrown. Which ball hits the ground first? Explain Suppose another baseball player throws a 0.5-kg ball (Ball C), also at 40 m/s, at the same time, which ball will hit the ground first? Explain.

Professional baseball pitchers deliver pitches that can reach the blazing speed of 100 mph (miles per hour). A local team has drafted an up-and-coming, left-handed pitcher who can consistently pitch at 42.24 m/s (94.50 mph). Assuming a pitched ball has a mass of 0.1422 kg and has this speed just before a batter makes contact with it, how much kinetic energy does the ball have? Kball = J Recall that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. How high would the ball need to be dropped from to attain the same energy as it did when it was pitched (neglect air resistance)? Hball = m

00:01 In the absence of external forces, the momentum is conserved.
00:04 In the absence of non -conservative forces such as friction, mechanical energy is also conserved.
00:10 In this problem, we're given with a baseball pitcher that is pitching a baseball which mass is 0 .21 kilogram with a speed of bp.
00:20 It's going to hit a lump of clay, which mass is 3 .3 kilograms.
00:26 The baseball sticks to the clay, and as a result, the two sinks.
00:30 Swings to a maximum height of 0 .08 meters.
00:34 If the lump of clay is attached to the cord, which is 2 meters low, we want to find the speed of the pitched wall...
