Using all three of Newton's laws of motion, carefully describe the motion of a baseball beginning when the ball is resting in the pitcher's glove as he stands on the mound until the ball is hit by the batter (assume the ball is hit). Ignore what kind of pitch is thrown and air resistance. The answer should focus on the forces and motion of the ball (not the players), and should include which of Newton's laws each motion/force follows. в у = = т т. O Words

As the ball sits in the glove of the pitcher, it is acted upon by the downward force of gravity. Based on Newton’s 3rd law (N3), the ball pulls upward on the Earth with exactly the same force. The force of gravity is perfectly balanced by the upward normal force of the glove on the ball. There is no net force, so the ball remains at rest in the glove based on Newton’s 1st law (N1). When ready to pitch, the pitcher’s hand lifts the ball out of the glove. The ball is now being acted on by a net force from the pitcher’s hand and experiences motion, per Newton’s 2nd law (N2). The upward force of the pitcher’s hand on the ball is stronger than the downward pull of gravity, so the ball moves up, out of the glove, and behind the pitcher’s head. Its inertia is continually changing due to the net force (N1). During this movement, the ball is exerting a force on the pitcher’s hand equal and opposite to the force the hand exerts on the ball (N2). Because the ball’s mass is smaller, its acceleration is larger, resulting in a net movement of the ball. As the pitcher throws the ball forward, he exerts a large force on the ball, causing it to accelerate to a high speed (N2). The moment the ball is released, this external force stops once the ball reaches the same velocity as the pitcher’s hand. Now, the force of gravity is the only force acting on the ball. The force of gravity is unbalanced and in the downward direction, this causes the path of the ball to bend slightly downward as it travels towards the batter. The ball exerts a force on the Earth equal and opposite to the force of gravity (N3); again, due to the mass of the Earth, the effect on the Earth is negligible (N2). In the horizontal direction, there are no net forces, so the ball moves at the same speed and in the same direction as it did when it was released by the pitcher’s hand (N1). It continues until it reaches the plate, where the batter swings the bat and hits the ball. The bat exerts a net force on the ball, causing it to change both speed and direction (N1). On impact, the ball’s velocity is reduced to zero (this is a large deceleration) (N1 and N2). The force of the bat then causes the ball to accelerate and move in a new direction (N1 and N2). The ball exerts the same force on the bat (N3), which causes the bat to slow slightly as the batter finishes the swing.

Explanation:

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!
