Two students are on a balcony 19.1 m above the street. One student throws a ball, b1, vertically downward at 13.9 m/s. At the sa

me instant, the other student throws a ball, b2, vertically upward at the same speed. The second ball just misses the balcony on the way down.
(a) What is the difference in the time the balls spend in the air? s
(b) What is the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground?
ball thrown downward m/s
ball thrown upward m/s
(c) How far apart are the balls 0.800 s after they are thrown?

Answer:

Part a)

t = 2.83 s

Part b)

Ball thrown downwards =v_f = 23.8 m/s

Ball thrown upwards =v_f = 23.8 m/s

Part c)

d = 22.24 m

Explanation:

Part a)

Since both the balls are projected with same speed in opposite directions

So here the time difference is the time for which the ball projected upward will move up and come back at the same point of projection

Afterwards the motion will be same as the first ball which is projected downwards

so here the time difference is given as

\Delta y = 0 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

0 = 13.9 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2

t = 2.83 s

Part b)

Since the displacement in y direction for two balls is same as well as the the initial speed is also same so final speed is also same for both the balls

so it is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a \Delta y

v_f^2 - (13.9)^2 = (2)(-9.81)(-19.1)

v_f^2 = 567.9

v_f = 23.8 m/s

Part c)

Relative speed of two balls is given as

v_{12} = v_1 - v_2

v_{12} = (13.9) - (-13.9) = 27.8 m/s

now the distance between two balls in 0.8 s is given as

d = v_{12} t

d = 27.8 \times 0.8

d = 22.24 m

A wire has resistivity of 0.12 homes per metre​.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

(a) The resistance of 25m of wire is 3 ohms

(b) the length of this wire that has resistance 22 ohms is 183.33 m

Explanation:

Given;

resistivity of the wire, ρ = 0.12 ohms per meter

(a) The resistance of 25m of wire is calculated as follows;

R = \rho L\\\\R = 0.12 \ \frac{ohms}{m} \times 25\ m\\\\R = 3 \ ohms

(b) the length of this wire that has resistance 22 ohms is calculated as;

L = \frac{R}{\rho} \\\\L = \frac{22 \ ohms }{0.12 \ ohms/m} = 183.33 \ m

How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 3.50 ft in vacuum?
Fiesta28 [93]
Answer:3.56 nanosecond

In this case, you are asked the time and given the light distance(3.5ft)
To answer this question you would need to know the velocity of light. Speed of light is <span>299792458m/s. Then the calculation would be:

time= distance/speed
time= 3.5 ft / (</span>299792458m/s) x 0.3048 meter/ 1 ft=  3.56 10^{-9} second or 3.56 nanosecond

Can a body have constant speed and still be acclerating ? Give an Example
Allushta [10]






Hi Pupil Here's Your answer :::





➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡





An object moving with constant speed can be accelerated if direction of motion changes. For example, an object moving with a constant speed in a circular path has an acceleration because its direction of motion changes continuously.

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

A sodium atom will absorb light with a wavelength near 589 nm if the light is within 10 MHz of the resonant frequency. The atomi
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

i)20369 photons

ii) 40 ps

Explanation:

Momentum of one Sodium atom:

P=m*v =600m/s*23amu*\frac{1 kg}{6.02*10^{23}amu}\\P=2.29*10^{-23}kgm/s

In other to stop it, it must absorb the same momentum in photons:

P=2.29*10^{-23}kgm/s=n_{photons}*\frac{h_{planck}}{\lambda}\\=n*\frac{6.63*10^{-34}}{589*10^{-9}} \\==>n=20369 photons

Now, for the minimun time, we use the speed of light and the wavelength. For the n photons:

t=n*T=n*\frac{\lambda}{c} =20369*\frac{589nm}{3*10^{8}m/s}=4*10^{-11} second=40 ps
