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 girl is running toward the front of a train at 10 m/s. If the train is going 75 m/s on the Southbound tracks, what is the spee
dimulka [17.4K]
We can take as positive direction the direction of the train, and as negative direction the direction of the girl. The speed of the train relative to the girl will be given by the difference between the two velocities:
v' = v_t - v_g
which means
v'=75 m/s - (-10 m/s)=85 m/s

Use the drop-down menus to answer each question. How do objects with the same charge interact? How do objects with opposite char
ValentinkaMS [17]

It's very tough to use the drop-down menus for this.  I'll just do the best I can without them.

-- Objects with the same charge repel each other with electrostatic force, and attract each other with gravity.  You can ignore the gravity because the electrostatic force is so much stronger.

-- Objects with opposite charge attract each other with electrostatic force, and also attract each other with gravity.  You can ignore the gravity because the electrostatic force is so much stronger.

-- Objects with no charge have no electrostatic force between them, and they only attract each other with gravity.

a girl pushes a cart to the left a 100-N force. a boy pushes it to the right with a 50-N force. The net force exerted on the car
AURORKA [14]
Since the net force is the amount of force favoring the side with the most force acted upon it,

100 - 50 = 50

50N to the left

Hope this helps!
