A baseball player throws a ball horizontally at the same moment another baseball player jobs a second ball straight down from th

I don't know what you mean when you say he "jobs" the other ball, and the answer to this question really depends on that word.

I'm going to say that the second player is holding the second ball, and he just opens his fingers and lets the ball <u><em>drop</em></u>, at the same time and from the same height as the first ball.

Now I'll go ahead and answer the question that I've just invented:

Strange as it may seem, <em>both</em> balls hit the ground at the <em>same time</em> ... the one that's thrown AND the one that's dropped.  The horizontal speed of the thrown ball has no effect on its vertical acceleration, so both balls experience the same vertical behavior.

And here's another example of the exact same thing:

Say you shoot a bullet straight out of a horizontal rifle barrel, AND somebody else <em>drops</em> another bullet at exactly the same time, from a point right next to the end of the rifle barrel.  I know this is hard to believe, but both of those bullets hit the ground at the same time too, just like the baseballs ... the bullet that's shot out of the rifle and the one that's dropped from the end of the barrel.

A boat is able to move through still water at 20 m/s. It makes a round trip to a town 3.0 km upstream. If the river flows at 5m/
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option e) 320 s

Explanation:

Here, distance = 3.0 km = 3000 m

The velocity of boat when it is going upstream;

Upstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water - velocity of river flow

So, Upstream velocity =20m/s-5m/s=15m/s

So,Time to go upstream

(t_{1}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{15m/s} =200 s

The velocity of boat when it is going downstream;

Downstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water + velocity of river flow

So, Downstream velocity =20m/s+5m/s=25m/s

So,Time to go downstream

(t_{2}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{25m/s} =120 s

So, total time (t) = t_{1}+t_{2}=200s+120 s=320s

Option E is the correct answer.

What is the energy in joules of a mole of photons associated with red light of wavelength 7.00 × 102 nm?
konstantin123 [22]
<span>The energy of a single photon is given by E = hc/lambda, where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and lambda is the wavelength. Plugging the values in gives E = 6.63E-34 x 3.00E8 / 700E-9 = 2.84E-19 Joules Now one mole of substance is equivalent to 6.02E23 particles, so one mole of these photons will be: 2.84E-19 x 6.02E23 = 1.71E5 Joules</span>
