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 91.5 kg football player running east at 2.73 m/s tackles a 63.5 kg player running east at 3.09 m/s. what is their velocity aft
pentagon [3]

Answer:

2.877 m/s

Explanation:

According to the laws of conservation of linear momentum,

the momentum of the moving objects before impact is equal to the momentum of the objects after impact (Assuming no external forces were applied)

Let both players are tackled and moving in V velocity

  • M and m - masses of the players
  • U and  u -  velocities of them respectively (both velocities are towards east direction )

momentum before impact = momentum after impact

                          →MU + →mu  = →(M+ m )v

 91.5  * 2.73 + 63.5 * 3.09 =  (91.5 + 63.5) * V

                                       →V = 2.877 m/s (To East)

find the mass of a ball on a roof 30 meters high, if the ball's gravitational potential energy is 58.8 joules
Sidana [21]
We are given the gravitational potential energy and the height of the ball and is asked in the problem to determine the mass of the ball. the formula to be followed is PE = mgh where g is the gravitational acceleration equal to 9.81 m/s^2. substituting, 58.8 J = m*9.8 m/s^2 * 30 m; m = 0.2 kg.

According to the third law of planetary motion, the period of revolution of a planet is related to the planet’s _____.
matrenka [14]
Distance from the sun.

<span>The third law of planetary motion states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit</span>. The semi-major axis is the distance from the sun to the epicenter of the ellipse (which would be the planet in question). So, the revolutionary period is directly related to the distance of the planet from the sun.
