A pitcher throws a curveball that reaches the catcher in 0.61 s. The ball curves because it is spinning at an average angular velocity of 350 rev/min (assumed constant) on its way to the catcher's mitt. What is the angular displacement of the baseball (in radians) as it travels from the pitcher to the catcher

22.36 rad

Explanation:

Applying,

ω = θ/t Equation 1

Where ω  = angular velocity, θ = angular displacement of the baseball, t = time

make θ the subject of the equation

θ = ωt Equation 2

From the question,

Given: ω = 350 rev/min = 350(0.10472) = 36.652 rad/s, t = 0.61 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

θ = 0.61(36.652)

θ = 22.36 rad

Hence the angular displacement of the baseball is  22.36 rad

explanation:

wind is defined by the direction it blows from.   for example, a wind blowing from north to south is called a northerly wind.
