Answer:

Final speed of the ball, v = -8 m/s  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the ball, u = +8 m/s

Let v is the speed of the ball when it returns to its starting point. When it returns back to its starting point, the speed of the ball remains the same only its direction changes.

Let positive direction shows upward side and negative direction shows the downward side. So, the speed of the ball when it returns to its starting point is (-8 m/s).

Hence, this is the required solution.

As the ball rises, its velocity decreases at a rate equal to 9.8 m/s^2 which is the gravitational acceleration.

At the highest point, the velocity of the ball is 0. It then starts to fall down and reaches the ground in the same duration of time it took to rise to the highest point. The velocity of the ball is equal in magnitude to the velocity it was thrown up but opposite in direction.

This gives the velocity of the ball when it returns to the starting point as -7.7 m/s

The time taken by the ball is 2*(7.7/9.8) = 1.57 seconds

The equation for gear ratio
Ymorist [56]
In a gear train with two gears, the gear ratio is defined as follows
R= \frac{\omega _A}{\omega _B} 

where \omega _A is the angular velocity of the input gear while \omega _B is the angular velocity of the output gear. 

This can be rewritten as a function of the number of teeth of the gears. In fact, the angular velocity of a gear is inversely proportional to the radius r of the gear:
\omega = \frac{v}{r}
But the radius is proportional to the number of teeth N of the gear. Therefore we can rewrite the gear ratio also as
R= \frac{\omega _A}{\omega _B} = \frac{r_B}{r_A} = \frac{N_B}{N_A}

Two carts connected by a 0.05 m spring hit a wall, compressing the spring to 0.02 m. The spring constant k is
vivado [14]

Answer:

0.045 J

Explanation:

From the question,

The elastic potential energy stored in a spring is given as,

E = 1/2ke²...................... Equation 1

Where E = elastic potential energy, k = spring constant, e = compression.

Given: k = 100 N/m, e = 0.05-0.02 = 0.03 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 1/2(100)(0.03²)

E = 50(9×10⁻⁴)

E = 0.045 J

Hence the right option is 0.045 J

An element is highly conductive, highly reactive, soft, and lustrous. The element most likely belongs to which group?(1 point)
UkoKoshka [18]

An element which is highly conductive, highly reactive, soft, and lustrous is most likely an alkali metal.

Alkali metals are in group 1 of the Periodic table which means that they have only a single valence electron.

This causes them to be soft and highly reactive because:

  • The single valance electron leads to weak bonds amongst the element's atoms which makes them soft
  • The elements want to lose the single valance electron so as to become stable so they will react with other elements to give away the electron.

Examples of alkali electrons include:

  • Lithium
  • Sodium
  • Potassium etc

In conclusion therefore, alkali metals are highly reactive and soft and so the element described above is most likely an alkali metal.
