a person throws a ball upward into the air with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. calculate (a) how high it goes, and (b) how long

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

a) about 20.4 meters high

b) about 4.08 seconds

Explanation:

Part a)

To find the maximum height the ball reaches under the action of gravity (g = 9.8 m/s^2) use the equation that connects change in velocity over time with acceleration.

$a=\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}$

$-9.8 \frac{m}{s} =\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}$

In our case, the initial velocity of the ball as it leaves the hands of the person is Vi = 20 m/s, while thw final velocity of the ball as it reaches its maximum height is zero (0) m/s. Therefore we can solve for the time it takes the ball to reach the top:

$-9.8 =\frac{0-20}{t}\\t=\frac{20}{9.8} s = 2.04 s$

Now we use this time in the expression for the distance covered (final position Xf minus initial position Xi) under acceleration:

$Xf-Xi=Vi*t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2} \\Xf-Xi=20*(2.04)-\frac{1}{2} 9.8*2.04^{2}\\Xf-Xi=20.408 m$

Part b) Now we use the expression for distance covered under acceleration to find the time it takes for the ball to leave the person's hand and come back to it (notice that Xf-Xi in this case will be zero - same final and initial position)

$Xf-Xi=0=20*(t)-\frac{1}{2} 9.8*t^{2$

To solve for "t" in this quadratic equation, we can factor it out as shown:

$0= t(20-\frac{9.8}{2} t)$

Therefore there are two possible solutions when each of the two factors equals zero:

1) t= 0 (which is not representative of our case) , and

2) the expression in parenthesis is zero:

$0= 20-\frac{9.8}{2} t\\t=\frac{20*2}{9.8} = 4.08 s$

Put the following words in order from smallest to largest: atoms, matter, elements

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Matter, atoms, elements.

Explanation:

Matter is just a name for anything that has mass and takes up space. Therefore, atoms are larger than matter. Atoms are the smallest bits of an element that are still that element, so, elements would be bigger than the atoms that come together to create them!

Hope this helps!

The data table below shows the distribution of the energies of a pendulum 0.60 s into its motion. What is the missing value?

ohaa [14]

The total energy (also called mechanical energy) is the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy:
$TE = KE + PE$
For this pendulum, we see that at t=0.60 s the total energy is TE=0.918 J while the potential energy is 0.054 J, so the kinetic energy (the missing value in the table) is
$KE=TE-PE=0.918 J - 0.054 J =0.864 J$

URGENT

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

5.25 J

Explanation:

W = PE = (f)(x)

PE = 35N*0.15m

PE = 5.25 N*m

1 N*m = 1 J

PE = 5.25 J
