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

You are designing a 108 cm3 right circular cylindrical can whose manufacture will take waste into account. There is no waste in
FinnZ [79.3K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The volume of a right circular cylindrical, V=108\ cm^3

We know that the volume of the cylinder is given by :

V=\pi r^2 h

108=\pi r^2 h    

h=\dfrac{108}{\pi r^2}............(1)

The upper area is given by :

A=32r^2+2\pi rh

A=32r^2+2\pi r\times \dfrac{108}{\pi r^2}

A=32r^2+\dfrac{216}{r}

For maximum area, differentiate above equation wrt r such that, we get :

\dfrac{dA}{dr}=64r-\dfrac{216}{r^2}

64r-\dfrac{216}{r^2}=0

r^3=\dfrac{216}{64}

r = 1.83 m

Dividing equation (1) with r such that,

\dfrac{h}{r}=\dfrac{108}{\pi r}

\dfrac{h}{r}=\dfrac{108}{\pi 1.83}

\dfrac{h}{r}=59 \pi

Hence, this is the required solution.

If two objects of the same size move through the air at different speeds, which encounters the greater air resistance?a. The fas
blagie [28]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

(The faster object encounters more resistance)

Explanation:

Option A is correct. (The faster object encounters more resistance)

Air resistance depends on various factors:

  • Speed of the object
  • Cross-sectional area of the object
  • Shape of the object

Formula:

F=\frac{1}{2}C_d\rho A v^{2}

As the speed of the object increases the amount of Air resistance/drag increases on the object, as the above formula shows direct relation between Air resistance/drag and velocity i.e F ∝ v^2.

Which sentence in the passage can be used to conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet and not a planet?
Lelu [443]
Eris is slightly more massive than Pluto. However, both of them are smaller than Earth's Moon.
This should conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet.
