A student standing on the ground throws a ball straight up. The ball leaves the student's hand with a speed of 15m/s when the ha

nd is 2.0m above the ground. How long is the ball in the air before it hits the ground? (The student moves her hand out of the way.)

Upward:
v = v o - g t
0 m/s = 15 m/s - 9.81 m/s² · t
15 m/s = 9.81 m/s² · t
t = 15 m/s : 9.81 m/s²
t 1 = 1.53 s
h = v o · t - g t² / 2  + 2 m
h = 22.95 m - (9.81 m/s² · 2.3409 s²) / 2 + 2 m
h = 11.475 m + 2 m = 13.475 m
Downward:
13.475 m = 9.81 · t² / 2
t = √(13.475 · 2 ) / 9.81
t 2 = 1.66 s
t = t 1 + t 2 = 1.53 s + 1.66 s = 3.19 s 
Answer: The ball is 3.16 seconds in the air before it hits the ground.

 <span>The ball's initial speed = Vi = 15 m/s 
 Vf = ? 
Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2 
Distance ball upward = S.u = ? 
Distanc ball downward = S.d = ? 
Time taken upward = t.u 
Time taken downward = t.d 
Total Time to reach ground = T =?
</span><span> upward distance
</span>2gS = Vi^2 
<span>2*(9.8)*S = ( 15 )^2 </span>
<span>19.6 * S = 225 </span>
<span>S = 225 / 19.6 </span>
<span>S = 11.48 meters 
</span><span> downward distance..
</span><span>Upward distance + 2 m = Downward distance
</span>=11.48 m + 2 m 
<span>=13.48 m
</span><span> find upward time for the bal
</span>Vi / g = t.u 
<span>15 / 9.8 = t.u </span>
<span>1.53 seconds = t.u 
downward time
</span>S.d = 1/2*g*t.d ^2 
<span>13.48 = 1/2*9.8 * t.d^2 </span>
<span>13.48 = 4.9 * t.d^2 </span>
<span>13.48 / 4.9 = t.d^2 </span>
<span>2.751 seconds = t.d^2 </span>
<span>Taking square root both sides </span>
<span>sqrt ( 2.751 ) = sqrt ( t.d^2 ) </span>
<span>1.658 seconds = t.d 
</span>Total time taken by ball = upward time + downward time 
<span>T = t.u + t.d </span>
<span>T = 1.53 s + 1.658 s </span>
<span>T = 3.188 seconds
</span>hope this helps

Alina [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Our lunar companion rotates while it orbits Earth. It's just that the amount of time it takes the moon to complete a revolution on its axis is the same it takes to circle our planet — about 27 days. As a result, the same lunar hemisphere always faces Earth.

Mama L [17]

From the calculations, the speed of sound in this case is 16.9 m/s.

<h3>What is an echo?</h3>

The term echo has to do with the reflection of sound waves. Sound is a mechanical wave.

we know that the speed of sound is obtained from;

V = 2x/t

x = distance covered

t = time taken

V = 2(500)/59

v = 16.9 m/s

The error in the experiment could come from;

  • Lack of precise time measurement
  • Error can also arise from the environment of the experiment

Answer:

Check Explanation.

The two statements given aren't true.

Explanation:

Although the question seems incomplete, I will address the concept of energy transfer during a wave's propagation.

The particles involved in wave's propagation move back and forth perpendicularly to the way the wave is moving, but do not move (at least, no significant movement is noticeable) in the direction of the wave. The particles ‘participate’ in the wave propagation by bumping into one another and transferring energy. This is exactly why energy can be transferred, although the average position of the particles doesn’t change.

So, the particles of the medium do not absorb energy from the atmosphere and do not significantly move from one location to another.

Hope this Helps!!!
