Answer:

2.04 s

Explanation:

v = at + v₀

(-30.0 m/s) = (-9.8 m/s²) t + (-10.0 m/s)

t = 2.04 s

<u>Answer</u>:

The time taken by the falling object is 2.04 sec

<u>Solution:</u>

The initial velocity $V = -10 m/s$

The final velocity $V_1 = -30m/s$

Let us assume that the time taken is t sec

We know that the acceleration due to gravity $g = 9.8m/sec^2$

As per the free falling object motion,

$V_1 = V -gt$

$-30 = -10 -9.8\times t$

$-30+10 = -9.8\times t$

$-20 = -9.8\times t$

$t =\frac{20}{9.8} = 2.04$

So, it takes total 2.04 sec

While eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich peanut butter drips on Dana shirt she tries to remove the peanut butter from her

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The water does not remove the peanut butter because the peanut butter is thicker substance than the water is, therefore it would not remove immediately.. It could also be because the brown dye or color in the peanut butter color or the peanut butter itself has already gone through her clothing Dana would have to remove it as much as she could with a towel water and some soap then throw it to the washer afterward.

Hope this helps, good luck:)

If the period of a spring is 5 seconds what is the frequency

Scilla [17]

Answer:

C. 0.2 Hertz

Explanation:

The frequency of a spring is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

For the spring in this problem,

T = 5 s

therefore, the frequency is

$f=\frac{1}{5 s}=0.2 Hz$

A ball is tossed with enough speed straight up so that it is in the air several seconds. (a) What is the velocity of the ball wh

irina1246 [14]

(a) Zero

When the ball reaches its highest point, the direction of motion of the ball reverses (from upward to downward). This means that the velocity is changing sign: this also means that at that moment, the velocity must be zero.

This can be also understood in terms of conservation of energy: when the ball is tossed up, initially it has kinetic energy

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m is the ball's mass and v is the initial speed. As it goes up, this kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, and when the ball reaches the highest point, all the kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy:

$U=mgh$

where g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height of the ball at highest point. At that point, therefore, the potential energy is maximum, while the kinetic energy is zero, and so the velocity is also zero.

(b) 9.8 m/s upward

We can find the velocity of the ball 1 s before reaching its highest point by using the equation:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity, which is negative since it points downward

v = 0 is the final velocity (at the highest point)

u is the initial velocity

t = 1 s is the time interval

Solving for u, we find

$u=v-at = 0 -(-9.8 m/s^2)(1 s)= +9.8 m/s$

and the positive sign means it points upward.

(c) -9.8 m/s

The change in velocity during the 1-s interval is given by

$\Delta v = v -u$

where

v = 0 is the final velocity (at the highest point)

u = 9.8 m/s is the initial velocity

Substituting, we find

$\Delta v = 0 - (+9.8 m/s)=-9.8 m/s$

(d) 9.8 m/s downward

We can find the velocity of the ball 1 s after reaching its highest point by using again the equation:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where this time we have

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity, still negative

v is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = 0 is the initial velocity (at the highest point)

t = 1 s is the time interval

Solving for v, we find

$v = u+at = 0 +(-9.8 m/s^2)(1 s)= -9.8 m/s$

and the negative sign means it points downward.

(e) -9.8 m/s

The change in velocity during the 1-s interval is given by

$\Delta v = v -u$

where here we have

v = -9.8 m/s is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = 0 is the initial velocity (at the highest point)

Substituting, we find

$\Delta v = -9.8 m/s - 0=-9.8 m/s$

(f) -19.6 m/s

The change in velocity during the overall 2-s interval is given by

$\Delta v = v -u$

where in this case we have:

v = -9.8 m/s is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = +9.8 m/s is the initial velocity (1 s before reaching the highest point)

Substituting, we find

$\Delta v = -9.8 m/s - (+9.8 m/s)=-19.6 m/s$

(g) -9.8 m/s^2

There is always one force acting on the ball during the motion: the force of gravity, which is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the ball

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration (a), so

$mg = ma$

which means that the acceleration is

$a= g = -9.8 m/s^2$

and the negative sign means it points downward.
