At a baseball game, the batter hit a fly ball at time t = 0 s. The outfielder caught the ball at t = 5.8 s. When was the ball at

maximum elevation? Assume that the baseball was at the same height above the ground when it was hit and caught, and that air resistance is negligible.

We have the following equation for height:
 h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
 Where,
 a: acceleration
 vo: initial speed
 h0: initial height.
 The value of the acceleration is:
 a = -g = -9.8 m / s ^ 2
 For t = 0 we have:
 h (0) = (1/2) * (a) * 0 ^ 2 + vo * 0 + h0
 h (0) = h0
 h0 = 0 (reference system equal to zero when the ball is hit).
 For t = 5.8 we have:
 h (5.8) = (1/2) * (- 9.8) * (5.8) ^ 2 + vo * (5.8) + 0
 (1/2) * (- 9.8) * (5.8) ^ 2 + vo * (5.8) + 0 = 0
 vo = (1/2) * (9.8) * (5.8)
 vo = 28.42
 Substituting values we have:
 h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
 h (t) = (1/2) * (- 9.8) * t ^ 2 + 28.42 * t + 0
 Rewriting:
 h (t) = -4.9 * t ^ 2 + 28.42 * t
 The maximum height occurs when:
 h '(t) = -9.8 * t + 28.42
 -9.8 * t + 28.42 = 0
 t = 28.42 / 9.8
 t = 2.9 seconds.
 Answer:
 
The ball was at maximum elevation when:
 
t = 2.9 seconds.

Answer:

2.9 s

Explanation:

Vertical Displacement is zero because the initial and final height above the ground is same.

Total time of flight is = 5.8 s

The time taken by ball to reach the maximum elevation is same as the time to fall back the same height. The time at which the ball was at maximum elevation is half the time of flight.

Thus, the time at which the ball was at maximum elevation = \frac{5.8s}{2}= 2.9s

If a box is pulled with a force of 100 N at an angle of 25
love history [14]

The X and Y components of the force are 90.63 Newton and 42.26 Newton respectively.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Force = 100 Newton.
  • Angle of inclination = 25°

To determine the X and Y components of the force:

<h3>The horizontal component (X) of a force:</h3>

Mathematically, the horizontal component of a force is given by this formula:

F_x = Fcos \theta\\\\F_x =100 \times cos25\\\\F_x =100 \times 0.9063

Fx = 90.63 Newton.

<h3>The vertical component (Y) of tensional force:</h3>

Mathematically, the vertical component of a force is given by this formula:

F_y = Fsin \theta\\\\F_y =100 \times sin25\\\\F_y =100 \times 0.4226

Fy = 42.26 Newton.

Svetllana [295]

Answer: a) Observation

b) observation

c) observation

d) observation

e) inference

f) inference

g) inference

h) inference

Explanation:

observation: The photosphere is made mostly of hydrogen and helium,The photosphere emits mostly visible light,The corona is hotter than the photosphere, The Sun emits neurtrinos

inferences: The Sun generates energy by fusing hydrogen into helium,The core temperature is 10 million k, The convection zone is cooler than the radiation zone,The composition of the photosphere is the same as that the gas cloud that have birth to our solar system.

A 10-kg dog is running with a speed of 5.0 m/s. what is the minimum work required to stop the dog in 2.40 s?
ankoles [38]
Given required solution

M=10kg W=? W=Fd
v=5.0m/s F=mg
t=2.40s =10*10=100N
S=VT
=5m/s*2.4s
=12m
so W=12*100
W=1200J

What type of relationship exists between the length of a wire and the resistance, if all other factors remain the same? A. Resis
ZanzabumX [31]
<h3>Answer</h3>

(A) Resistance is directly related to length.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Formula for resistance

R = p(length) / A

where R = resistance

           p = resistivity(material of wire)

           A = cross sectional area

So it can be seen that resistance depends upon 3 factors that are length of wire , resistivity of wire and the cross sectional area of the wire.

If two of the factors, resistivity and cross sectional area, are kept constant then the resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire.

<h3> R ∝ length</h3>

This means that the resistance of the wire increases with the increase in length of the wire and decreases with the decrease of length of the wire.
