On a different planet, a ball is fired straight upwards from the ground with an initial speed of 100 m/s. At the same instant, a

second ball is dropped from the top of a cliff 400 m above the ground. The balls arrive at the same vertical location at the EXACT instant that the ball thrown upwards reaches its highest point. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet. In other words, find g on this planet. You can assume there is no air resistance.

Answer:

g = 25 m/s²

Explanation:

Since, the balls meet at the exact instant when upward thrown ball reaches its maximum point. Therefore, applying 1st equation of motion to it, we get:

Vf₁ = Vi₁ + gt

where,

g = -g (for upward motion) = acceleration due to gravity at that planet = ?

t = time

Vf₁ = Final Velocity of Upward Thrown ball = 0 m/s (ball stops at highest point)

Vi₁ = Initial Velocity of Upward Thrown Ball = 100 m/s

Therefore,

0 m/s = 100 m/s - gt

gt = 100 m/s  ------------- equation 1

Now, applying 3rd equation of motion for the height covered:

2(-g)h₁ = Vf₁² - Vi₁²

h₁ = 10000/2g

Now, we apply 2nd equation of motion to second ball moving downward:

h₂ = Vi₂t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h₂ = height covered by second ball at the time of meeting

Vi₂ = initial velocity of second ball = 0 m/s (since, it starts from rest)

Therefore,

h₂ = (0)(t) + (0.5)gt²

h₂ = (0.5)gt²

Now, it is clear from the given condition, that when the two balls meet, the sum of distance covered  by both the balls will be equal to 400 m. Therefore,

h₁ + h₂ = 400 m

using values:

10000/2g + (0.5)gt² = 400

10000 + g²t² = (400)(2g)

using equation 1:

10000 + (100)² = 800g

g = 20000/800

<u>g = 25 m/s²</u>

Are light waves longitudinal or transverse
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

There are two types of waves, according to the direction of their oscillation:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Light waves corresponds to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all the different types of electromagnetic waves (which consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave): therefore, they are transverse waves.
