A ball is thrown straight up into the air and passes a window 3 seconds after being released. It passes the same window on its w

ay back down 1.5 seconds later. What was the initial velocity of the ball?

The initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.

<h3>Initial velocity of the ball</h3>

The initial velocity of the ball is calculated as follows;

During upward motion

h = vi - ¹/₂gt²

h = vi - 0.5(9.8)(3²)

h = vi - 44.1 ----------------- (1)

During downward motion

h = vi + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + 0.5(9.8)(1.5)²

h = 11.025 ----------- (2)

solve (1) and (2) together, to determine the initial velocity of the ball

11.025 = vi - 44.1

vi = 11.025 + 44.1

vi = 55.125 m/s

Thus, the initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.

A positively charged wire with uniform charge density +λ lies along the x-axis and a negatively charged wire with uniform charge

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

$\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0}[\frac{1}{y}(\^y) - \frac{1}{x}(\^x)]$

Explanation:

The electric field created by an infinitely long wire can be found by Gauss' Law.

$\int \vec{E}d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi r h = \frac{\lambda h}{\epsilon_0}\\\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 r} \^r$

For the electric field at point (x,y), the superposition of electric fields created by both lines should be calculated. The distance 'r' for the first wire is equal to 'y', and equal to 'x' for the second wire.

$\vec{E} = \vec{E}_1 + \vec{E}_2 = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 y}(\^y) + \frac{-\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 x}(\^x)\\\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 y}(\^y) - \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 x}(\^x)\\\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0}[\frac{1}{y}(\^y) - \frac{1}{x}(\^x)]$

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

a

The New angular speed is $w_f = 2.034 rad/s$

b

The Kinetic energy before the masses are pulled in is $KE_i = 3.101 \ J$

c

The Kinetic energy after the masses are pulled in is $KE_f = 8.192 \ J$

Explanation:

From the we are told that masses are 1.08 m from the axis of rotation, this means that

The radius $r =1.08m$

The mass is $m = 3.09\ kg$

The angular speed $w = 0.770 \ rad/sec$

The moment of inertia of the system excluding the two mass $I = 3.25 \ kg \cdot m^2$

New radius $r_{new} = 0.34m$

Generally the conservation of angular momentum can be mathematical represented as

$w_f = [\frac{I_i}{I_f} ]w_i .....(1)$

Where $w_f$ is the final angular speed

$w_i$ is the initial angular speed

$I_i$ is the initial moment of inertia

$I_f$ is the final moment of inertia

Moment of inertia is mathematically represented as

$I = m r^2$

Where I is the moment of inertia

m is the mass

r is the radius

So the Initial moment of inertia is given as

$I_i = moment \ of \ inertia \ of\ the \ two \ mass \ + 3.25 \ kg \cdot m^2$

$I_i = 2m r^2 + 3.25$

The multiplication by is because we are considering two masses

$I_i = 2 [(3.09)(1.08)^2] +3.25 = 10.46 kg \cdot m^2$

So the final moment of inertia is given as

$I_f = 2[(3.09)(0.34)^2] +3.25 = 3.96 \ kg \cdot m^2$

Substituting these values into equation 1

$w_f = [\frac{10.46}{3.96} ] * 0.77 = 2.034 \ rad/sec$

Generally Kinetic energy is mathematically represented in term of moment of inertia as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * I * w^2$

Now considering the kinetic energy before the masses are pulled in,

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * I_i * w^2_i$

The Moment of inertia would be $I_i = 10.46 \ Kg \cdot m^2$

The Angular speed would be $w_i = 0.77 \ rad/s$

Now substituting these value into the equation above

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * (10.46) * (0.770)^2 = 3.101 J$

Now considering the kinetic energy after the masses are pulled in,

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2} * I_f * w^2_f$

The Moment of inertia would be $I_f = 3.96 \ Kg \cdot m^2$

The Angular speed would be $w_f = 2.034 \ rad/s$

Now substituting these value into the equation above

$KE_f= \frac{1}{2} *(3.96)(2.034)^2$

$= 8.192J$
