Professional baseball pitchers deliver pitches that can reach the blazing speed of 100 mph (miles per hour). A local team has drafted an up-and-coming, left-handed pitcher who can consistently pitch at 42.24 m/s (94.50 mph). A. Assuming a pitched ball has a mass of 0.1420 kg and has this speed just before a batter makes contact with it, how much kinetic energy does the ball have?
B. How high would the ball need to be dropped from to attain the same energy (neglect air resistance)?

A. ) K =126. 7 J

B. ) h= 91.1 m.

Explanation:

A)

B)

        ⇒ m*g*h = 126. 7 J

answer; (d) spontaneous processes are characterized by the overall conversion of order to disorder;

  the grams     of oxygen gas   that can be produced     is 20.6   grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ →   2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1:   find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5   +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281   moles

step 2:   use the   mole ratio   to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂   is 2: 3  

therefore the moles of   o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422   moles

step 3: find mass   of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the   molar mass of   o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422   moles   x   32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂
