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

An astronaut is a short distance away from her space station without a tether rope. She has a large wrench. What should she do w
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.

Explanation:

According to <u>Newton's third law of motion</u>, <em>when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.</em>  

To understand it better:  

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.  

So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.

Convert planks constant in cgs system
dezoksy [38]

in cgs system, plank's constant= h=6.626 x10⁻²⁶ erg s

Value of Plank's constant in SI system= 6.626 x10⁻³⁴ Js

now 1 Joule= 10⁷ ergs

so h= 6.626 x10⁻³⁴ Js (10⁷ ergs/1J)

h=6.626 x10⁻²⁷ erg s

The closest star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.12 × 10^16 m away. How long would it take light from Alpha Ce
bonufazy [111]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (4.12x10^16 m) / (3 x10^8 m/s)

Time = 1.37 x 10^8 seconds

Divide the seconds by 86,400 to get days. Then divide the days by 365 to get years.

Time = about 4.35 years

A 55.0-g sample of hot metal initially at 99.5oC was added to 40.0 g of water in a Styrofoam coffee cup calorimeter. The water a
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.

Explanation:

From energy conservation

Heat lost by metal = Heat gain by water +Heat gain by  calorimeter

Because here temperature of metal is high that is why it loose the heat.The temperature of water and  calorimeter is low that is why they gain the heat.

final temperature is T= 30.5 C

We know that sensible heat transfer given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

m=Mass

Cp=Specific heat capacity

ΔT=Temperature difference

By putting the values

55 x Cp ( 99.5 - 30.5) = 40 x 4.184 ( 30.5- 21 ) + 10 x ( 30.5 - 21)

Cp ( 99 .5- 30.5) = 30.65

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.
