A windmill-style softball pitcher executes a pitch in 0.65 s. If her pitching arm is 0.7 m long. what are the magnitudes of the tangential and radial accelerations on the ball just before ball release, when tangential ball speed is 20 m/ s? What is the magnitude of the total acceleration on the ball at this point?

Explanation:

The angular speed of the ball when its tangential speed is 20m/s is:

From here we can calculate the centripetal acceleration:

The angular acceleration over t = 0.65s is:

So the tangential acceleration is

The magnitude of total acceleration, which is the combination of centripetal and tangential acceleration is:

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
