During a baseball game a batter hit a baseball that was late

During a baseball game, a batter hit a baseball that was later caught by an outfielder. Identify at least four quantities that are associated with this situation. You may identify both fixed and varying quantities (Be specific in describing the attribute being measured, including where it is being measured from.) Translate each of these phrases to an algebraic expression, a. A 13-inch icicle starts melting. Let x represent the values of the quantity \"the varying number ot inches of the icicle that melt away.\" Write an expression to represent the varying number of inches of icicle remaining in terms of x. (Illustrate this situation with a diagram first.) Let n represent the values of the quantity \"the varying number of inches of the remaining.\" Write a formula to determine n in terms of x.

Solution

2 . object - ball

attribute - Force

Fixed -

Unit - N

object - ball

attribute - Velocity

Varying

Unit - m/s

object - hand

attribute - acceleration

varying

Unit - m/s²

object - bat

attribute - distance

Fixed -

Unit - m

3. a (i) Number of icicles left = 13 -x

ii) varying no of inches of the icicle remaining = n - x
