The force of a fluidthat pushes up onan object in a fluid.

If buoyant force isequal to the weight of the object, the object will be suspended inside the fluid.

If buoyant force isgreater than theweight of the object,the object willrise in the fluid.

If buoyant force isless than the weight of the object,the object willsink in the fluid.

Archimedes Principle states that the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object.

The pressure in a moving stream of fluid is less than the pressure in the surrounding fluid.

The pressure in a moving stream of fluid is less than the pressure in the surrounding fluid.

The bat exerts about 8000 pounds of force on the ball.

Contact betweenthe ball and thebat lasts onlyabout 1/1000 sec.

The ball distortsto about half itsoriginal diameterwhen it contactsthe bat.

The decision toswing has tobe made within0.04 seconds.

Swing 1/100 second toosoon and theball goes foul down the left field side.

Swing 1/100 second toolate and theball goes foul down the right field side.

An aluminumbat can hit abaseball 30 feetfarther than awooden bat.

In general, a baseball will curve in the same direction that the front of the ball turns.

The faster the spin,the greater the break.

A corked bat is lighter,so its swing speed is faster.

But the baseball bouncesoff the bat faster than thecork can store energy thatmight be given back tothe ball.

These two factorscombine to make a corked bat hit theball less distancethe a regular bat.

For maximum distance, hit the ball just under its center of mass.

This always adds backspin to the ball -providing lift.

A batted ball should be able to travel no farther than 545 Feet.

A 94 mph fastball is thrown with 1910 rpm backspin.

Hitting the fastball changes thespin direction - provides 1827

rpm backspin.

442 feet

This reduces the lift of the batted ball.

442 feet

A 78 mph curveball is thrown with 1910 rpm topspin.

Hitting the curveball does not change the spin direction - butincreases backspin to 2643 rpm.

Fastball: Hold the ball near the ends of your fingers and throw with a normal overhand delivery. The ball should roll off your fingers with a backwards spin (it will tend to rise). Outfielders usually throw the ball this way because the rising action allows them to throw it considerably farther.

Curveball: "Choke" the ball (wedge it down between your thumb and forefinger), and cock your wrist to the left; the ball snaps down and to the right on release. The resulting pitch should drop and curve to the left.

Screwball: Throw the ball like a curveball, but reverse the wrist action and spins. Cock the wrist initially to the right and "turn the ball over" to the left as you throw it. The ball should break down and to the right.

Slider: Throw the ball like a football pass, with the wrist cocked at a 90 degree angle . The ball should curve slightly down and to the left.

Energy stored in an object due to its position.

Gravitational potential energy,GPE, is dependent on an object’s height above the surface of the earth.

GPE = weight (N) X height (m)

weight = mass (kg) X g (9.8 m/s2)

GPE = mgh

When electricity is supplied to theprimary coil, it magnetizes the coreand produces a voltage in thesecondary coil.

The voltage produced depends on the ratio of the numberof turns in each coil.

The primary coil below has 10 turns, while the secondary has 2. The ratio is 5 to 1 - which means the voltage produced across the secondary will be 1/5 the voltage of the primary.

The primary coil below has 3 turns, while the secondary has 6. The ratio is 1 to 2 - which means the voltage produced across the secondary will be twice the voltage of the primary.

The "pole" transformerreduces voltagefor the final time.
