The baseball was thrown at 90 mi/hr, not 90 m/s.
Let's solve this step-by-step:
1) Convert 90 mi/hr to m/s:
90 mi/hr = 40 m/s
2) Use the equation d = vt:
d = 18.3 m
v = 40 m/s
t = d/v
t = 18.3 m / 40 m/s
t = 0.46 s

Wavefronts are lines connecting points that are in phase when waves spread. Rays show the direction of wave motion. Reflection occurs when waves bounce off a surface, which can be regular or diffuse. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection when measuring from the normal line perpendicular to the surface. When a wave passes between different mediums, its velocity and direction change due to refraction as described by Snell's law.Motion and vectors regents

2) Displacement is the vector between an object's initial and final positions. It can be less than or equal to the total distance traveled.

Scientific notation is a way to express very large or small numbers using two parts: 1) a number between 1 and 10 and 2) a power of 10. To convert a number to scientific notation, the decimal is placed so there is one non-zero digit left of the decimal and the number of places the decimal moved indicates the exponent of 10. Converting back involves moving the decimal right for positive exponents and left for negative exponents.Ad

- Electromagnetic waves include visible light and can travel through a vacuum. They are transverse waves that were created by Maxwell and travel at the speed of light.
- The visible spectrum ranges from red to violet. Red has the lowest frequency and longest wavelength while violet has the highest frequency and shortest wavelength.
- EM waves can be transmitted, absorbed, scattered or dispersed depending on their frequency and the substance they encounter. They also decrease in intensity with the inverse square of the distance from the source.Ap review total

The document discusses the laser and its properties of producing monochromatic and coherent light. It also describes how light passing through two slits will produce an interference pattern known as Young's two-slit experiment. The document presents a formula that relates the distance between bright spots on the interference pattern to the distance between the slits and the distance from the slits to the observation screen. It proposes an experiment where the distance between bright spots is measured using a wire mesh, CD, and human hair to calculate the thickness of the materials.Ap physics info sheet
- 1. AP Physics Mr. Sawyer AP Physics is a college level calculus based physics course that focuses entirely on mechanics. The range of topics includes one, two and three dimensional motion, dynamics and force analysis, momentum, energy, rotational motion and harmonic motion. Pre requisite: successful completion of Regents Physics Strongly encouraged: successful completion of Pre-Calc and current enrollment in AP Calculus Students currently enrolled in Pre-Calc will require additional study as students are expected to know the basics of derivatives and integrals. The AP Physics test in May is considered by many to be (along with Calculus) the hardest AP exam and colleges are becoming more and more resistant to giving college credit to anything less than a 5. While success on the AP test is, of course, important, the greater value of the AP Physics course is being exposed to college level physics at the high school level which will give a great advantage to students who choose to take physics in college. It is also a credit to the student who decides, in his senior year, to take this difficult course as an elective. Class is conducted daily where the student is expected to attend and be prepared with notebook, scientific calculator and pen. Homework is given and expected to be done the next day. Homework that is not done the next day will receive a grade of zero. Extra help is available both before and after school Monday through Friday. If a student is absent, he or she is responsible for making arrangements to make up all work missed. Grades are computed on the following basis: Summative Assessments 50% (Chapter tests, quizzes, mini-quests) Formative Assessments 20% (Homework) Benchmark Assessment 10% (Unit tests, given once near the end of each marking period) Lab Reports 20% Mini-quests are 2 pt tasks that are easily attainable. Some may consist of a one question quiz given during a lecture, having a calculator on a pre-announced day, signing this sheet and returning it.
