A physics student throws a ball straight up. The student catches the ball in exactly the same place from which it was released.

The ball’s time of flight is T, and its maximum height above its release point is H. Neglect air resistance and assume up is the positive direction. Find the ball’s average velocity during the second half of its trip. (Hint: Your answer should only have the variables H and T in it.)

Answer:

The correct answer is H ÷ ¹/₂T

Explanation:

The formula for velocity is distance covered ÷ time.

Neglecting air resistance;

If the ball's time of overall time flight is T, the time it will take for the second half/return trip is ¹/₂T.

If the ball's maximum height above its released point is H, the height will also be the distance it covered for the second part of the trip since the student caught the ball in the exact same place the ball was thrown. Hence, the distance for the second half of the trip will be H.

Since velocity = distance/time

The average velocity during the second half of the trip will be = H ÷ ¹/₂T

a 20 of of ice at 0c is dropped into water at boiling point, specific heat capacity of water =4200 J/kg•c, sepesific latent heat
Contact [7]

Answer:

15 KJ

Explanation:

The quantity of heat (Q) required is given as:

Q = mcΔθ + mL

where m is the mass of ice, c is its specific heat capacity, L is its specific latent heat andΔθ is the change in temperature.

Given: m = 20g, temperature of ice = 0^{o} C, specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg^{o} C, latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.3 x 10^(5) J/kg, temperature of water = 100^{o} C.

Q = m (cΔθ + L)

   = 0.02(4200 x (100) + 330000)

   = 0.02(420000 + 330000)

  = 0.02 (750000)

Q = 15000

Q = 15000 Joules

Q = 15KJ

The quantity of heat needed to complete the conversion is 15 KJ.

Ngan has a weight of 314.5 N on Mars and a weight 833.0 N on Earth. What is Ngan's mass on Earth?
mr_godi [17]

Ngan's mass on earth is 85kg.

Ngan has a weight on Mars = 14.5 N

Ngan’s weight on Earth = 833.0 N

Ngan’s mass on Earth = ?

<span>Fg,earth = mg(earth)</span>

<span>M = Fg,earth </span><span>/ g(earth)</span>

<span>M = 833.0 N / 9.8 m/s2</span>

<span>M = 85 kg</span>

The given function represents the position of a particle traveling along a horizontal line. s(t) = 2t3 − 3t2 − 36t + 6 for t ≥ 0
igor_vitrenko [27]

1) The velocity of the particle is given by the derivative of the position. So, if we derive s(t), we get the velocity of the particle as a function of the time:

v(t)=s'(t)=(2t^3-3t^2-36t+6)'=6t^2-6t-36

2) The acceleration of the particle is given by the derivative of the velocity. So, if we derive v(t), we get the acceleration of the particle as a function of the time:

a(t)=v'(t)=(6t^2-6t-36)'=12t-6
