Ahmed kept a balloon from his birthday for several days until it began to deflate and slowly sink to the ground. He wondered how

the balloon was losing its ability to float. He decided to use his Physical Science textbook to get more answers.
What chapter should Ahmed read to learn more about how things function or behave?

Laws
Theories
Hypotheses
Observations

A basketball player throws a chall -1 kg up with an initial speed of his hand at shoulder height = 2.15 m Le gravitational poten

Talja [164]

Complete Question:

A basketball player tosses a basketball m=1kg straight up with an initial speed of v=7.5 m/s. He releases the ball at shoulder height h= 2.15m. Let gravitational potential energy be zero at ground level

a) Give the total mechanical energy of the ball E in terms of maximum height hn it reaches, the mass m, and the gravitational acceleration g.

b) What is the height, hn in meters?

Answer:

a) Energy = mghₙ

b) Height, hₙ = 5.02 m

Explanation:

a) Total energy in terms of maximum height

Let maximum height be hₙ

At maximum height, velocity, V=0

Total mechanical energy , E = mgh + 1/2 mV^2

Since V=0 at maximum height, the total energy in terms of maximum height becomes

Energy = mghₙ

b) Height, hₙ in meters

mghₙ = mgh + 1/2 mV^2

mghₙ = m(gh + 1/2 V^2)

Divide both sides by mg

hₙ = h + 0.5 (V^2)/g

h = 2.15m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

V = 7.5 m/s

hₙ = 2.15 + 0.5(7.5^2)/9.8

hₙ = 2.15 + 2.87

hₙ = 5.02 m

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 27.1: Magnetic Forces. A particle with mass 1.81×10−3 kgkg and a charge of 1.22×10−8 CC has

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is $a = 0.33 m/s^2$

The direction is $- \r k$ i.e the negative direction of the z-axis

Explanation:

From the question we are that

The mass of the particle $m = 1.8*10^{-3} kg$

The charge on the particle is $q = 1.22*10^{-8}C$

The velocity is $\= v = (3.0*10^4 m/s ) j$

The the magnetic field is $\= B = (1.63T)\r i + (0.980T) \r j$

The charge experienced a force which is mathematically represented as

$F = q (\= v * \= B)$

Substituting value

$F = 1.22*10^{-8} (( 3*10^4 ) \r j \ \ X \ \ ( 1.63 \r i + 0.980 \r j )T)$

$= 1.22 *10^{-8} ((3*10^4 * 1.63)(\r j \ \ X \ \ \r i) + (3*10^4 * 0.980) (\r j \ \ X \ \ \r j))$

$= (-5.966*10^4 N) \r k$

Note :

$i \ \ X \ \ j = k \\\\j \ \ X \ \ k = i\\\\k \ \ X \ \ i = j\\\\j \ \ X \ \ i = -k \\\\k \ \ X \ \ j = -i\\\\i \ \ X \ \ k = - j\\$

Now force is also mathematically represented as

$F = ma$

Making a the subject

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

Substituting values

$a =\frac{(-5.966*10^4) \r k}{1.81*10^{-3}}$

$= (-0.33m/s^2)\r k$

$= 0.33m/s^2 * (- \r k)$

The amount of WORK done is determined by 2 factors.

RUDIKE [14]

Explanation :

Work is done when a force is applied to create a displacement on an object.

Thus, the work done depends on the two factors i.e.

(1) Applied force (F)

(2) Distance or displacement (d)

Mathematically, work done is $W= F.s$

It also depends on the angle between the force and the displacement.

$W=Fs\ cos\ \theta$

For example,

A person carries a weight of 20 kg and lifts it on his head 1.5 m above the surface. So, the work done by him on the luggage will be:

$W= F\times s$

or

$W=m\times g \times s$

$W=20\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 1.5\ m$

So, $W=294\ Joules$

Hence, the work done by him on the luggage is 294 Joules.
