Baseball pitching machines such as shown in (figure 1) are used to fire baseballs toward a batter for hitting practice. in one kind of machine, the ball is fed between two wheels that are rapidly rotating in opposite directions; as the ball is pulled in between the wheels, it rapidly accelerates up to the speed of the wheels' rims, at which point it is ejected.

for a machine with 35-cm-diameter wheels, what rotational frequency (in rpm) do the wheels need to pitch a 90 mph fastball?
express your answer in revolutions per minute.

First, launch the video below. you will be asked to use your knowledge of physics to predict the outcome of an experiment. then, close the video window and answer the question at right. you can watch the video again at any point. part a as in the video, we apply a charge +q to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. this time, we also apply a charge –q to the other half-shell. when we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. what does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? view available hint(s) as in the video, we apply a charge + to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. this time, we also apply a charge – to the other half-shell. when we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. what does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? it deflects more than it did at the end of the video. it deflects the same amount as at end of the video. it does not deflect at all. it deflects less than it did at the end of the video. submit

True or false when elements combine to form a mixture, the resulting chemical properties may be very different from those of the elements that make it.
