Buster Posey hits a pop-up straight up. The velocity of the baseball as it leaves the bat is 42.5 m/s. Determine (a) the total time the baseball is in the air, and (b) the maximum height the baseball reaches. Assume the baseball is caught at the same height above the ground as it was hit. Draw an image of the baseball for each 1 second of time it is traveling, for each image include a labeled velocity and acceleration vector.

part a: 4.25s

part b: 180.625m

Explanation:

part a:

what we know: vi=42.5m/s

                          t=?

                          vf=0

                          g= -10m/s^2

equation: vf-vi/g=t

plug in: -42.5m/s/ - 10m/s^2 = 4.25s

part b: 42.5m/s x(times) 4.25s = 180.625m

it is given that trillions of microbes make up to 1% to 3% of the body mass.

let's take average of this percentage: 2%

consider the average mass of the human body as 70 kg.

then, trillions of microbes would have mass  

therefore, 100 trillion micro-organisms would weigh:

this is an approximate value and could change depending on the mass of the human body and percentage of the microbes present in it.

average mass per microorganism =
