A ball is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. It just misses the cornice on the wa

y down, and passes a point 160 ft below its starting point 5 sec after it leaves the thrower’s hand. (a) What was the initial velocity of the ball? (b) How high did it rise above its starting point? (c) What was the magnitude of its velocity as it passed a point 64 ft below the starting point?

Answer:

a) 48.5 ft/s

b) 36.5 ft

c) -80.3 ft/s

Explanation:

a)

The equation of motion of the ball is :

y(t) = -16.1 ft/s^2 * t^2 + Vo*t

Where Vo is the initial velocity

If y(5s) = - 160 ft:

-160 ft = -16.1 ft/s^2 * (5 s)^2 + Vo*(5s)

Solving for Vo

Vo  = (16.1*25- 160) ft / 5s = 48.5 ft/s

b)

To answer this question we must first know when the velocity became zero, at this time is when the ball was at its highest point.

v(t) = -32.2 ft/s^2 * t + Vo

t = Vo/32.2ft/s^2 = 1.5 s

And now, the highest point which the ball reached is given by:

y(1.5s) = -16.1 ft/s^2 * (1.5)^2 + Vo*(1.5s)

y(1.5s) = 36.52 ft

c)

We now need the time at which y(t') = -64 ft

-64 = -16.1*t'^2 + 48.5*t'

By means of the quadratic formula, we find that

t' = 4.00498 s ≈ 4 s

And the velocity at t = 4s is:

v(4s) = -32.2 ft/s^2 * 4s +48.5 ft/s = -80.3 ft/s

What are the starting materials for nuclear fission
aliina [53]
In normal fission reactors, the fuel used to start the nuclear fission is Uranium-235. 
Generally, fuel rods enriched with uranium-235 are used to start the fission. When a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it becomes unstable and then it breaks apart, producing two smaller nuclei, several neutrons and energy. The additional neutrons produced in the reaction are then absorbed by other nuclei of uranium-235, triggering other fission reactions, and so on.

On the decibel scale, an increase of 10 decibels means an intensity increase of __________times?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

The decibel or decibel, is a unit that relates two values ​​of sound pressure, and electrical power. the base unit is the bel, but given the amplitude but for practicality, a submultiple, the decibel, is used. It is a scalar expression .

Zero belios is the reference value used as a base, hence a bel is equivalent to 10 decibels and means that there is a power increase of 10 times over the reference value.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}

Explanation:

Note that acceleration is the rate change of velocity i.e

acceleration=\frac{change in velocity}{change in time}\\a=\frac{dv}{dt} \\.

Since the velocity is giving as a variable dependent on the pressure, we have to differentiate implicitly both side with respect to time,i.e

\frac{dv}{dt}=1306*(1/2)p^{-1/2}\frac{dp}{dt} \\

if we substitute value for the pressure as giving in the question and also since the rate change of pressure is 0.354psi/sec, we have

a=653*0.1667*0.354\\

a=\frac{dv}{dt}=653(36)^{-1/2}*0.354\\  a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}

When you stand on tiptoes on a bathroom scale, there is an increase in
pychu [463]

Answer:

B) Pressure on the scale, not registered as weight.

Explanation:

This is because energy (derived from weight) becomes compiled on the tips of your toes, and therefore does not increase your weight, but simply the pressure at a smaller point
