The fastest pitched baseball was measured at 46m/s. A typical baseball has a mass of 145 g. If the pitcher exerted his force (assumed to be horizontal and constant) over a distance of 1.0 m, (a) what force did he produce on the ball during this record-setting pitch? (b) Draw free-body diagrams of the ball during the pitch and just afterit left the pitcher鈥檚 hand.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The force produced on the ball is 153 N.

(b) .

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as:

  • The velocity of the baseball is,v =46 m/s
  • The mass of the baseball is,m=145g10-3kg1g=14510-3kg
  • The distance the pitcher exerted force is, s=1.0 m

Significance of the second law of Newton 

This law states that the force applied by an object is directly proportional to the product of the acceleration and the mass of the object. The acceleration occurs as a force acts on a particular mass.

03

(a) Determination of the force produced on the ball

The equation of the acceleration of the ball is expressed as:

v2=u2+2asa=v2-u22s

Here, v is the final speed, u is the initial speed, a is the acceleration of the ball, and s is the distance traveled by the ball.

As the ball was at rest initially, then the initial velocity is zero.

The equation of the force is expressed as:

F=ma=mv2-u22s

Here, F is the net force and m is the mass of the ball.

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

F=14510-3kg46m/s2-0221.0m=14510-3kg2116m2/s22m=14510-3kg1058m/s2=153kg.m/s2

Hence, further as:

F=153kg.m/s21N1kg.m/s2=153N

Thus, the force produced on the ball is 153 N.

04

(b) Determination of the free body diagram of the ball

The free-body diagram of the ball has been drawn below:

In the above diagram, the weight of the ball is acting downwards. The normal forcen is directed upwards. The forceF is directed in the right direction, and the accelerationa is directed in the right direction.

A Simple Reaction-Time Test.A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?

You take an empty glass jar and push it into a tank of water with the open mouth of the jar downward, so that the air inside the jar is trapped and cannot get out. If you push the jar deeper into the water, does the buoyant force on the jar stay the same? If not, does it increase or decrease? Explain.
