A blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 21.8 m/s, from a height of 0.9 meters above the ground. 2.7 seconds after

the blue ball is thrown, a red ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 10.4 m/s from a height of 26.6 meters above the ground. The force of gravity due to the earth results in the balls each having a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2.

I can think of two possible and logical questions for the problem given. First, you can calculate for the maximum height reached by the blue ball. Second, you can compute the length of time for the two balls to be at the same height. If so, the solution are as follows:

When the object is thrown upwards or when the object is dropped from a height, the only force acting upon it is the gravitational force. Because of this, it simplifies equations of motion.

1. For the maximum height, the equation is
H = v₀²/2g
where
v₀ is the initial speed
g is the acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.81 m/s²

For the blue ball, v₀ = 21.8 m/s. Substituting the values:
H = (21.8 m/s)²/2(9.81m/s²)
H = 24.22 m
The maximum height reached by the blue ball is 24.22 m + 0.9 = 25.12 m.

2. For this, you equate the y values of both balls:

y for red ball = y for blue ball
v₀t + 0.5gt² = v₀t + 0.5gt²
(10.4 m/s)t + 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(t²) + 26.6 m = (21.8 m/s)t + 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(t²) + 0.9 m
Solving for t, 
t = 2.25 seconds

Thus, the two balls would be at the same height after 2.25 seconds.

What term is applied to the situation in which energy has been transferred from faster particles to slower ones and as a result
Alborosie

Answer:

Conduction

Explanation:

Conduction refers to the transfer of energy through the movement of particles that are in contact with each other. It could be heat conduction, electrical conduction or sound conduction. Heat conduction (or thermal conduction) is the transfer of energy from a warmer substance to a colder one through direct contact, for example, someone touching the handle of a hot metal skillet.

Electrical conduction is the transfer of electrically charged particles through a medium, for example, electricity traveling through the power lines in a house.

Sound conduction (or acoustic conduction) is the transfer of sound waves through a medium, for example, vibrations from loud music passing through a wall.

It takes 120 minutes for a man to ride his bicycle up the road to Alpe d'Huez in France. The vertical height of the climb is 1,1
Greeley [361]
First solve the potential energy of the biker. using the fomula:
PE = mgh
where m  is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity ( 9.81 m/s2)
h is the height

PE = 96 kg ( 1120 m ) ( 9.81 m/s2)
PE = 1054771.2 J
then power = Work / time
P = 1054771.2 J / ( 120 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min)
P = 146.5 W

What happens during the apparent retrograde motion of a planet?
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The planet will move from east to west for a couple of months in the night sky.

Explanation:

Retrograde motion is an optical effect due to the fact that Earth rotates more quickly than the planet that apparently has a retrograde motion in the sky.

For example, Saturn has a slower speed in its orbit around the Sun. That means that the Earth will pass it, and that will give the effect that the planet is moving backward. That same scenario can be seen between two cars on a highway, the faster car will see the slower car when it passes as it is moving for a short fragment of time in backward.

Remember that the planets in the night sky move from west to east, in the case of a planet with retrograde motion, it will move from east to west for a couple of months.

Which layer of the sun is responsible for producing the light shown in the picture above?
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

C. Photosphere

Explanation:

The lights shown in the figure comes from the outermost layer of the Sun. This layer is called photosphere.

This is the layer from where the light of the Sun is radiated, before travelling through space and reaching us.

The photosphere is the coldest layer of the Sun: its surface temperature is between 4500 and 6000 K. Its width is approximately 100 km.

A characteristic of the photosphere is the presence of the sunspots, which appear as darker spots, and are regions of lower temperature caused by a concentration of magnetic flux.
