t = 0.39 s

Explanation:

Assuming that the ball is launched horizontally, once in the air, if we neglect the resistance of the air, the ball moves at a constant speed, equal to the initial velocity, in this case, 105.1 mi/hr.In order to find time in seconds, it is advisable to convert the speed in mi/hr to m/s, as follows:

In the same way, it's advisable to convert 60' 6'' (60.5') to m, as follows:

Applying the definition of average velocity, we can find the time traveled by the ball from pitcher's mound to home plate, as follows:

t = 0.39 s

Explanation:

Assuming that the ball is launched horizontally, once in the air, if we neglect the resistance of the air, the ball moves at a constant speed, equal to the initial velocity, in this case, 105.1 mi/hr.In order to find time in seconds, it is advisable to convert the speed in mi/hr to m/s, as follows:

       105.1 mi/hr * (\frac{1hr}{3600s})*\frac{1609m}{1mi} = 47.0 m/s (1)

In the same way, it's advisable to convert 60' 6'' (60.5') to m, as follows:

       60.5 ft * \frac{0.3058m}{1ft} = 18.5 m (2)

Applying the definition of average velocity, we can find the time traveled by the ball from pitcher's mound to home plate, as follows:

       t = \frac{18.5m}{47m/s} = 0.39 s (3)

Options:
a. a lower frequency and a shorter wavelength.
b. a higher frequency and a longer wavelength.
c. a lower frequency and a longer wavelength.
d. a higher frequency and a shorter wavelength

Answer:
d. a higher frequency and a shorter wavelength

Explanation:
The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. That means that waves with a high frequency have a short wavelength, while waves with a low frequency have a longer wavelength. Light waves have very, very short wavelengths.
For example, Gamma rays have the highest energies, the shortest wavelengths, and the highest frequencies. Radio waves, on the other hand, have the lowest energies, longest wavelengths, and lowest frequencies of any type of EM radiation.
Options:
a. a lower frequency and a shorter wavelength.
b. a higher frequency and a longer wavelen

Answer:

9.6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by the tomatoes to each the ground

using h = 1/2 g t^2 

t^2 = 2h/g = 2 x 50/ 9.8 = 10.2

t = 3.2 sec 

horizontal ditance = speed x time = 3 x 3.2 = 9.6 meters

Answer:
7.25 secs.

Explanation:
First find the distance it takes to stop
s = [v^2-u^2]/2a = 0^2 - 8.7^2/2[-2.4] = 8.7^2/4.8
Next find the time it takes to go that distance , s = ut +[1/2] at^2
8.7^2/4.8 = 8.7t +[1/2] [ -2.4]t^2 , rearrange and
t^2 -[8.7/1.2]+ 8.7^2/[(1.2)(4.8)]=0 complete the square
[t - (8.7/2.4)]^2=0
t = 8.7/2.4 = 3.625 secs
At this stage the deceleration will push the object back in the direction it came from for another 3.625 secs when it will be 8.7 m/s again
Total time , T =2t = 7.25 secs.

Note:
The term differential is used in calculus to refer to an infinitesimal (infinitely small) change in some varying quantity. For example, if x is a variable, then a change in the value of x is often denoted Δx (pronounced delta x). The differential dx represents an infinitely small change in the variable x.

The change in temperature is 9.52°CExplanation:Since, the heat supplied by the electric kettle is totally used to increase the temperature of the water.Thus, from the law of conservation of energy can be stated as:Heat Supplied by Electric Kettle = Heat Absorbed by WaterHeat Supplied by Electric Kettle = m C ΔTwhere,Heat Supplied by Electric Kettle = 20,000 JMass of water = m = 0.5 kgSpecific Heat Capacity of Water = C = 4200 J/kg.°CChange in Temperature of Water = ΔTTherefore,20,000 J = (0.5 kg)(4200 J/kg.°C) ΔTΔT = 20,000 J/(2100 J/°C)ΔT = 9.52°C
