3) To hit a home run in baseball, the batter needs to hit the
ball to give it a speed of at least 75 mph. If the pitcher
throws a fastball at 92 mph, what is the average force
magnitude on the ball from the bat needed to hit a home
run? Assume the time of contact with the bat is 0.02 sec.
The pitched ball can be assumed to approach the bat hor-
izontally, and the ball is hit at an angle 30° above the
horizontal. The ball weighs 5 oz.
(2) To study damage to aircraft that collide with large birds, you design a test gun that accelerates chicken size
projectiles so that their position x(t) along the barrel of the gun is:
x(t) = (At ² - Bt³) meters
where A = 9.0 x 10³ and B = 8.0 x 104. Take the breech of the gun (where the projectiles are loaded) as x = 0.
(a) What are the units of A and B? (A: m/s²; B: m/s³)
(b) How long must the gun barrel be so that objects leave it in 0.0250 s? (answer: 4.38 m)
(c) What is the speed of an object as it leaves the barrel? (answer: 300 m/s)
(d) What is the acceleration of the object at t= 0.025 s? (answer: 6.0 x 10³ m/s²)
(I) Sketch the free-body diagram of a baseball (a) at the moment it is hit by the bat, and again (b) after it has left the bat and is flying toward the outfield. Ignore air resistance
