The motion of the tennis ball on the vertical axis is an uniformly accelerated motion, with deceleration of g=-9.81 m/s^2 (gravitational acceleration).

The component of the velocity on the y-axis is given by the following law:
v_y(t) = v_{y0}+gt
At the time t=0.5 s, the ball reaches its maximum height, and when this happens, the vertical velocity is zero (because it is a parabolic motion): v_y(0.5 s)=0. Substituing into the previous equation, we find the initial value of the vertical component of the velocity:
v_{y0}=-gt=-(-9.81 m/s^2)(0.5 s)=4.9 m/s

However, this is not the final answer. In fact, the ball starts its trajectory with an angle of 30^{\circ}. This means that the vertical component of the initial velocity is
v_{y0}=v_0 sin 30^{\circ}
We found before v_{0y}=4.9 m/s, so we can substitute to find v_0, the initial speed of the ball:
v_0 =  \frac{v_{y0}}{sin 30^{\circ}}=9.81 m/s

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1176 Nm or J

Explanation:

W = F*d

F = 60kg * 9.8 kgm/s^2 = 588 N

W = 588 N * 2m = 1176 N*m

How does a Freebody diagram tell you about the net force an object?
Sloan [31]
So you subtract the numbers that are on the same axis. So if your gravitational force is 10 and your normal force is 5 you do 5-10 to get -5 since gravity acts downward

As gravity continues to crush the inner core, the fusion of carbon and oxygen begins. What temperature is needed for the fusion
Olin [163]

Answer:

600,000,000 degree C

Explanation:

This stage is the last stage and is refereed to as supernova. In the beginning of this stage, gravity pulls the inner core and crush it, due to which fusion of atoms starts. Carbon and Oxygen fuse together and the temperature is about of 600,000,000 degree C.

The most heavier atom that can be formed out of this fusion is the iron. The moment all the atoms becomes of iron, no further fusion is possible hence that body emits radiation of high intensity and collapse causing a big supernova.

ycow [4]

Answer:

1900 meters

Explanation:

30m/s x 30 second = 900 meters

+ 1000 meters starting position

= 1900meters
