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 vertical spring with a spring constant of 420 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

19.53 cm

Explanation:

The computation of the height is as follows:

Here we applied the conservation of the energy formula

As we know that

P.E of the block = P.E of the spring

 m g h = ( 1 ÷ 2) k x^2

where

m = 0.15

g = 9.81

k = 420

x = 0.037

So now put the values to the above formula

(0.15) (9.81) (h) = 1 ÷2 × 420 × (0.037)^2

1.4715 (h) = 0.28749

h = 0.19537 m

= 19.53 cm

Explain the role of energy in changes <br> of state.
slava [35]
A liquid requires enthalpy of vaporization to transform into vapor or gas at its boiling point.  Here the element absorbs heat from surroundings or heat source.

This energy is used in breaking the forces of attraction among the atoms and molecules of the element. The molecules get separated to higher distances. The energy is converted in to the kinetic energy of the molecules in gaseous form and into the internal energy in terms of the temperature of the gas.

When the voltage across a steady resistance is doubled, the current?
natima [27]

I'm actually going ahead in the book (DC Circuits) so this isn't really homework but I figured the tag was appropriate....the name of the chapter is Ohm's Law and Watt's Law.

<span>Problem: Calculate the power dissipated in the load resistor, R, for each of the circuits.Circuit (a): V = 10V; I = 100mA; R = ?; Since I know V and I use formula P = IV: P = IV = (100mA)(10V) = 1 W.</span>

The next question is what I'm not sure about:

Question: What is the power in the circuit (a) above if the voltage is doubled? (Hint: Consider the effect on current).

What I did initially was: P = IV = (100mA)(2V) = 2 W

But then I looked at the answer and it said 4 W, then I looked at the Hint again. Then I remembered in the book early on it said "If the voltage increases across a resistor, current will increase."

So question is: When solving problems I have to increase (or decrease) current (I) every time voltage (V) is increased (decreased) in a problem, right? How about the other way around, when increasing current (I), you need to increase voltage (V). I'm pretty sure that's how they got 4 W, but want to make sure before I head to the next section of the book.

P = IV = (200mA)(2V) = 4 W

50.0 meters away from a building. Tip of the building makes an angle of 63.0° with the horizontal. What is the height of the bui
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

98.13m

Explanation:

Complete question

Daniel is 50.0 meters away from a building. Tip of the building makes an angle of 63.0° with the horizontal. What is the height of the building

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT

From the figure, using trigonometry

Tan(θ ) = opposite/adjacent

Where Angle (θ )= 63°

Opposite= X = height of the building

Adjacent= 50 m

Then substitute the values we have

Tan(63)= X/50

1.9626= X/50

X= 1.9626 × 50

X= 98.13m

Hence, the height of the building is 98.13m

A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star. The Crab nebula pulsar in the constellation Taurus has a period of 33.5\times 10^{-
joja [24]

Answer:

5.25\cdot 10^{40} kg m^2/s

Explanation:

The angular momentum of the pulsar is given by:

L=m\omega r^2

where

m=2.8\cdot 10^{30} kg is the mass of the pulsar

r = 10.0 km = 1\cdot 10^4 m is the radius

\omega is the angular speed

Given the period of the pulsar, T=33.5\cdot 10^{-3} s, the angular speed is given by

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2 \pi}{33.5\cdot 10^{-3}s}=187.5 rad/s

And so, the angular momentum is

L=m\omega r^2=(2.8\cdot 10^{30}kg)(187.5 rad/s)(1\cdot 10^4 m)^2=5.25\cdot 10^{40} kg m^2/s
