ACTIVITY

1. After uniformly accelerating his arm for 0.090 0 s, a pitcher releases a baseball of weight 1.40 N
with a velocity of
32.0 m/s horizontally forward. If the ball starts from rest, (a) through what distance does the ball
accelerate before its
release? (b) What force does the pitcher exert on the ball?

2. A block of mass m1= 5kg on a rough, horizontal surface is connected to a ball

of mass m2 = 2kg by a lightweight cord over a lightweight, frictionless pulley,
as shown in Figure. A force of magnitude F = 200N at an angle β = 30° with
the horizontal is applied to the block as shown. The coefficient of kinetic
friction between the block and surface is μk= 0.25. Determine the magnitude
of the acceleration of the two objects.
