Select the correct answer. A ball is thrown straight down from the top of a building at a velocity of 16 ft/s. The building is 4

80 feet tall, and the acceleration due to gravity is 32 ft/s2. This problem can be represented using the following equation. How much time will the ball take to reach the ground

Answer:

The ball takes 5s to reach the ground

Explanation:

in order to solve this problem we use the kinematics equation with gravity as acceleration:

h=v_0t+1/2*gt^2

we replace the values

0=1/2*32t^2+16t-480

We solve this quadratic equation:

t=5s

t=-6s   (this solution has not physical sense)

What is the force needed to give a .25 kg arrow an acceleration of 196m/s2?
Rzqust [24]
<span>49N is the force needed to give a .25 kg arrow an acceleration of 196m/s2. F =ma ⇒ =( 0.25kg)(196m/s2) = 49N if the arrow is shot horizontally where the applied force is entirely in the x-direction.</span>

A plane electromagnetic wave, with wavelength 5 m, travels in vacuum in the positive x direction with its electric vector E, of
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

E₀ = 229.1 V/m

E = E₀ / √2 = 229.1 / 1.414 = 162 V/m

B =  E / c  ( c is velocity of em waves )

=   162 / (3 x 10⁸)  = 54 x 10⁻⁸ T

rate of energy flow =  ( E x B )  / μ₀

= 162 x 54 x 10⁻⁸ / 4π x 10⁻⁷

= 69.65 W per m².
