Melanie watched the path a baseball followed after a pitcher threw it. She noticed that the ball traveled horizontally away from

the pitcher as well as downward toward the ground. What force caused the ball to accelerate in the downward direction when it was thrown?

d. The force is doubled and the object’s mass is halved? 18. ||| A man pulling an empty wagon causes it to accelerate at 1.4 m/s

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

$a' = 0.35 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Let say the empty wagon has mass "M"

now by newton's II Law we will have

$F = Ma$

now it is given that empty wagon is pulled with acceleration 1.4 m/s/s

now we will have

$F = 1.4 M$

now a child of mass three times the mass of wagon is sitting on the empty wagon

so here we have

$F = (M + 3M) a$

$1.4 M = 4M a'$

so we have

$a' = 0.35 m/s^2$

A rock thrown straight up takes 4.2 s to reach its maximum height what was its initial velocity

liubo4ka [24]

Consider the upward direction of motion as positive and downward direction of motion as negative.

a = acceleration due to gravity in downward direction = - 9.8 $\frac{m }{s^{2}}$

v₀ = initial velocity of rock in upward direction = ?

v = final velocity of rock at the highest point = 0 $\frac{m }{s}$

t = time to reach the maximum height = 4.2 sec

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

0 = v₀ + (- 9.8) (4.2)

v₀ = 41.2 $\frac{m }{s}$

Aleks04 [339]

A futuristic design for a car is to have a large solid disk-shaped flywheel within the car storing kinetic energy. The uniform flywheel has mass 370 kg with a radius of 0.500 m and can rotate up to 320 rev/s. Assuming all of this stored kinetic energy could be transferred to the linear velocity of the 3500-kg car, find the maximum attainable speed of the car.

A beam of light in air is incident at an angle of 30º to the surface of a rectangular block of clear plastic (n = 1.46). The lig

Aneli [31]

Answer:

θ = 30°

Explanation:

Firts, the angle when the beam of light passes through the block cam be calculated using Snell Law:

$n_{1}sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}sin(\theeta_{2})$

<u>Where</u>:

n₁: is the index of refraction of the incident medium (air) = 1

θ₁: is the incident angle = 30°

n₂: is the medium 2 (plastic) = 1.46

θ₂: is the transmission angle

Hence, θ₂ is:

$sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}*sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{1*sin(30)}{1.46} = 0.34 \rightarrow \theta_{2} = 20.03 ^{\circ}$

Now, when the beam of light re-emerges from the opposite side, we have:

n₁: is the index of refraction of the incident medium (plastic) = 1.46

θ₁: is the incident angle = 20.03°

n₂: is the medium 2 (air) = 1

θ₂: is the transmission angle

Hence, the angle to the normal to that surface (θ₂) is:

$sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}*sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{1.46*sin(20.03)}{1} = 0.50 \rightarrow \theta_{2} = 30 ^{\circ}$

Therefore, we have that the beam of light will come out at the same angle of when it went in, since, it goes from air and enters to a plastic medium and then enters again in this medium to go out to air again. This was proved using the Snell Law.

I hope it helps you!
