Answer:

Explanation:

The center of mass lies on a line that joins position 4 of one start with position 4 of the other star. The shortest distance between these two points will produce the largest velocity. You are using F = m v^2/R

Small R = large force.

Large Force = increased speed.

The masses don't have any effect on the outcome: they remain constant.

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high pop-up. If the ball remains in the air for 4.02 s, how high above the point where i

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

d = 19.796m

Explanation:

Since the ball is in the air for 4.02 seconds, the ball should reach the maximum point from the ground in half the total time, therefore, t=2.01s to reach maximum height. At the maximum height, the velocity in the y-direction is 0.

So we know t=2.01, vi=0, g=a=9.8m/s and we are solving for d.

Next, you look for a kinematic equation that has these parameters and the one you should choose is:

$d=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Now by substituting values in, we get

$d=(0\frac{m}{s})*(2.01s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(2.01)^2$

d = 19.796m

A stone is thrown straight downward with a speed of 20 m/s from the top of a tall building. If the stone strikes the ground 3.0

Lady_Fox [76]

Do you remember this formula for the distance traveled while accelerated ?

<u>Distance = (initial speed) x (t) plus (1/2) x (acceleration) x (t²)</u>

I think this is exactly what we need for this problem.

initial speed = 20 m/s down
acceleration = 9.81 m/s² down
t = 3.0 seconds

Distance down = (20) x (3) plus (1/2) x (9.81) x (3)²

Distance = (60) plus (4.905) x (9)

Distance = (60) plus (44.145) = 104.145 meters

Choice <em>D)</em> is the closest one.
