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

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The answer to your question is : 521.8 m

Explanation:

Data:

Different heights

Time first object (tfo) = 10.7 s

Time second object (tso)= 14.8 s

Initial speed of both objects(vo) = 0 m/s

a = 9.81 m/s²

Formula:

h = vot + 1/2 (a)(t)² but vo = 0    so, h = 1/2 (a)(t)²

Then, height fo      h = 1/2 (9.81)(10.7)² = 561.6 m

          height so     h = 1/2(9,81)(14.8)² = 1074.4 m

Difference in their heights =  1074.4 m - 561.6 m = 521.8 m

What nonliving materials are important to living things?
Pavel [41]
<span>Nonliving things also have unlimited duration of existence. While living things die and decompose, nonliving things such as rocks, mountains, air and water have existed for millions of years. They may grow, but they do so only by accretion, which is the process of growth by accumulating added layers of matter.</span>

What do radio waves carry
iren [92.7K]

The answer is modulation. In modulation a radio wave (also called the "carrier signal") is changed by the signal we want to send to the receiver, for example a song, or, in a wireless network, some data from a computer.

Accelerating charges radiate electromagnetic waves. calculate the wavelength of radiation produced by a proton in a cyclotron wi
levacccp [35]

B = magnetic field in the cyclotron = 0.400 T

q = magnitude of charge on a proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = mass of the proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

f = frequency of revolution of proton in the cyclotron = ?

v = speed of electromagnetic waves = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of electromagnetic wave = ?

Frequency of revolution of proton in the cyclotron is given as

f = qB/(2πm)

inserting the values

f = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)(0.400)/(2 (3.14) (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷))

f = 6.1 x 10⁶ Hz

wavelength of electromagnetic wave is given as

λ = v/f

λ = (3 x 10⁸)/(6.1 x 10⁶)

λ = 49.2 m
