A pitcher throws a baseball towards home plate. The baseball, which has a mass of 145 g, approaches the plate with 122 J of kinetic energy. Calculate the speed of the
baseball. Show your work.

If the force on an object is in the negative direction, the work it does on the object must be [2 points a) negative. b) positive c) the work could be either positive or negative, depending on the direction the object moves

Consider a 1000 w iron whose base plate is made of 0.5 cm thick aluminum alloy 2024-t6 (ρ = 2770 kg/m3 and cp = 875 j/kg°c). the base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m2. initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the ambient air at 22°c. assuming 90% of the heat generated in the resistance wires is transferred to the plate, determine the minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 200°c.
