Answer:

A and C

Explanation:

drag (the area of lower air pressure behind the car when moving) and mostly air resistance (the work to push the air in front of us away to move through - the faster we go, the stronger the air resists to move aside).

A ball is thrown with velocity of 10 m/s upwards. If the ball is caught 1 m above its initial position, what is the speed of the

White raven [17]

Answer:

v = 8.96 m/s

Explanation:

Initial speed of the ball, u = 10 m/s

It caught 1 meter above its initial position.

Acceleration due to gravity, $g=-9.8\ m/s^2$

We need to find the final speed of the ball when it is caught. Let is equal to v. To find the value of v, use third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$v^2=2as+u^2$

$v^2=2(-9.8)\times 1+(10)^2$

v = 8.96 m/s

So, the speed of the ball when it is caught is 8.96 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

If a projectile is fired straight up at a speed of 10 m/s, the time it takes to reach the top of its path is about

UNO [17]

Answer:

A. The time it takes the projectile to reach the top of its path is about 1 second.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the velocity of a projectile fired straight up is the following:

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

v = velocity of the projectile.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (≅ -9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

t = time.

When the projectile reaches the top of its path, its velocity is zero, then, using the equation of velocity, we can solve it for the time:

v = v0 + g · t

0 = 10 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

t = -10 m/s / -9.8 m/s²

t = 1.0 s

The time it takes the projectile to reach the top of its path is about 1 second.

An air-filled capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 7.60 cm2, separated by a distance of 2.00 mm. If a

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

a. 11.5kv/m

b.102nC/m^2

c.3.363pF

d. 77.3pC

Explanation:

Data given

$area=7.60cm^{2}\\ distance,d=2mm\\voltage,v=23v$

to calculate the electric field, we use the equation below

V=Ed

where v=voltage, d= distance and E=electric field.

Hence we have

$E=v/d\\E=\frac{23}{2*10^{-3}} \\E=11.5*10^{3} v/m\\E=11.5Kv/m$

b.the expression for the charge density is expressed as

σ=ξE

where ξ is the permitivity of air with a value of 8.85*10^-12C^2/N.m^2

If we insert the values we have

$8.85*10^{-12} *11500\\1.02*10^{-7}C/m^{2} \\102nC/m^{2}$

from the expression for the capacitance

$C=eA/d$

if we substitute values we arrive at

$C=\frac{8.85*10^{-12}*7.6*10^{-4}}{2*10^{-3} } \\C=\frac{6.726*10^{-15} }{2*10^{-3} } \\C=3.363*10^{-12}F\\C=3.363pF$

d. To calculate the charge on each plate, we use the formula below

$Q=CV\\Q=23*3.363*10^{-12}\\ Q=7.73*10^{-12}\\ Q=77.3pC$

A golf ball is struck with a five iron on level ground. it lands 100.0 m away 4.60 s later. what was the magnitude and direction

finlep [7]

consider the motion in x-direction

$v_{ox}$ = initial velocity in x-direction = ?

X = horizontal distance traveled = 100 m

$a_{x}$ = acceleration along x-direction = 0 m/s²

t = time of travel = 4.60 sec

Using the equation

X = $v_{ox}$ t + (0.5) $a_{x}$ t²

100 = $v_{ox}$ (4.60)

$v_{ox}$ = 21.7 m/s

consider the motion along y-direction

$v_{oy}$ = initial velocity in y-direction = ?

Y = vertical displacement = 0 m

$a_{y}$ = acceleration along x-direction = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel = 4.60 sec

Using the equation

Y = $v_{oy}$ t + (0.5) $a_{y}$ t²

0 = $v_{oy}$ (4.60) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (4.60)²

$v_{oy}$ = 22.54 m/s

initial velocity is given as

$v_{o}$ = sqrt(( $v_{ox}$ )² + ( $v_{oy}$ )²)

$v_{o}$ = sqrt((21.7)² + (22.54)²) = 31.3 m/s

direction: θ = tan⁻¹(22.54/21.7) = 46.12 deg
