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.

An attack helicopter is equipped with a 20- mm cannon that fires 88.7 g shells in the forward direction with a muzzle speed of 9
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The impulse imparted to the shells equals the change in the momentum:
Fav*(Delta t)= Delta m*v.
The mass change is
Delta m= n*m= (89.9shells)*(88.7g)=7.97Kg
So the average force is
F=((v)*(Delta m))/t= ((929)*(7.97))/4.84=1529.78 N
Since the velocity of the shells is much greater than the velocity of the helicopter, there is no need to use relative velocity.

Natalka [10]
The reason a location usually doesn't get a storm within a few weeks of another one is more because of the general odds. They're low. And they're lower in Texas than in Florida. ... There are many locations a storm can develop and track

In Young’s two slit experiment, the first dark fringe above the central bright fringe occurs at an angle of 0.44˚. What is the r
melomori [17]

Answer:

d / λ = 26.7

Explanation:

In Young's double slit experiment, constructive interference is described by the expression

   d sin θ = m λ

In the case of destructive interference we must add half wavelength (λ/2)

   d siyn θ = (m + ½) λ

Let's clear

    d / λ = (m + ½) / sin θ

Let's calculate

   d / λ = (2+ ½) / sin 5.4

   d / λ = 5 / (2 sin 5.4)

   d / λ = 26.7
