Whipple is confused about the connection between the velocity and acceleration of the tennis ball. he decides to compare the vel

ocity of the ball and the acceleration of the ball at the apex of the ball's motion while varying the speed of the elevator. he runs the experiment for a wide range of positive speeds of the elevator and records the speed and acceleration of the ball at the top of its motion. what can whipple conclude from these data? the speed of the ball is always positive and the acceleration is always equal to −g at the instant the ball reaches the top of its motion. the speed of the ball and the acceleration are both zero when the ball reaches the top of its motion. the speed of the ball is always zero and the acceleration is always −g at the instant the ball reaches the top of its motion. the speed of the ball is always negative and the acceleration is always equal to −g at the instant the ball reaches the top of its motion.

The speed of the ball is always zero and the acceleration is always -g when it reaches the top of its motion. This is because when the ball is free, only gravity acts on it which is always downwards, hence g is the net acceleration and it is always negative. However the velocity does not direction change instantly, negative acceleration first slows down the ball with a positive velocity, until that point the ball keeps moving up, then the ball velocity becomes zero just before changing direction and becoming negative after which the ball will now go down along gravity. Hence the ball velocity is zero at the top (neither going up nor down). Mathematically this can be seen as velocity is the integration of acceleration.

24) Strictly speaking, why will an object in free-fall not experience terminal velocity as it falls?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

While the body is falling, it will not experience terminal velocity. As each time it keeps falling its speed will increase due to the acceleration of gravity g = 9.81[m / s^2]. Its final speed will be reached at the moment when the body touches or impacts the ground.

An object is thrown straight up with a velocity, in ft/s, given by v(t)= -32t + 83, where t is in seconds, from a height of 46 f
____ [38]
<h2>a) Initial velocity = 83 ft/s</h2><h2>b) Object's maximum speed = 99.4 ft/s</h2><h2>c) Object's maximum displacement = 153.64 ft</h2><h2>d) Maximum displacement occur at t = 2.59 seconds.</h2><h2>e) The displacement is zero when t = 5.70 seconds</h2><h2>f) Object's maximum height = 153.64 ft</h2>

Explanation:

We have velocity

             v(t)= -32t + 83

Integrating

              s(t) = -16t²+83t+C

At t = 0 displacement is 46 feet

              46 = -16 x 0²+83 x 0+C

                 C = 46 feet

So displacement is

              s(t) = -16t²+83t+46

a) Initial velocity is

                 v(0)= -32 x 0 + 83 = 83 ft/s

       Initial velocity = 83 ft/s

b) Maximum velocity is when the object reaches ground, that is s(t) = 0 ft

Substituting

             0 = -16t²+83t+46

             t = 5.70 seconds

Substituting in velocity equation

           v(t)= -32 x 5.70 + 83 = -99.4 ft/s

           Object's maximum speed = 99.4 ft/s

c) Maximum displacement is when the velocity is zero

   That is

                 -32t + 83 = 0

                       t = 2.59 s

Substituting in displacement equation

                s(2.59) = -16 x 2.59²+83 x 2.59+46 = 153.64 ft

Object's maximum displacement = 153.64 ft

d) Maximum displacement occur at t = 2.59 seconds.

e) Refer part b

   The displacement is zero when t = 5.70 seconds

f) Same as option d

   Object's maximum height = 153.64 ft

if you put something like apiece of cardboard between a magnet and a iron nail, the magnet still holds the nail. how?
AlekseyPX
Magnetic fields can go through some materials (like cardboard). Electric fields can also do that. Electromagnetic waves can do that. It’s not at all unusual because magnetic fields are not made up of particles so they can go through materials.
