An apple drops from the tree and falls freely. The apple is originally at rest a height H0 above the ground. The ground is cover

ed with a thick lawn, which is made of blades of grass of height h. When the apple enters the grass, it slows down at a constant rate so that its speed is 0 when it reaches ground level.
A)Find the speed of the apple just before it enters the grass

B) Find the acceleration of the apple while it is in the grass

Answer:

Explanation:

The distance travelled in the free fall is H - h  

Since the apple originally started from rest we can use v^2 =  u^2 + 2 x g x s  where v is the final velocity, g the accln due to gravity and s the distance travelled and u is the initial velocity = 0

So the velocity just before it enters the grass is sq rt [2 x g x (H - h)]

Once in the grass, it slows down at a constant rate which means that the acceleration (a) during this period is constant.

So once again using the same formula we have v = O and u = sq rt[2 x g x (H-h)]

so since v^2 = u^2 + 2 x a x s then  

O^2 = 2 x g x (H-h) + 2 x a x h

{O^2 - 2 x g x (H - h)}/(2 x h) = a

How are magnetic poles and electrical charges similar? A. Their same forces repel each other, and their opposite forces attract
melomori [17]

Answer:

A. Their same forces repel each other, and their opposite forces attract each other.

Explanation:

As we know by the property of electric charge that similar charges repel each other and opposite charges attracts each other

So here we have similar situation in magnets also

Two similar poles or like poles of magnet i.e. North - North poles or South - South poles always repel each other

And also we can see that opposite poles of magnet each other i.e. North pole and south pole always attract each other.

SO here correct answer is

A. Their same forces repel each other, and their opposite forces attract each other.

A body of mass 5.0 kg is suspended by a spring which stretches 10 cm when the mass is attached. It is then displaced downward an
Dominik [7]

Answer:

position as a function of time is y = 0.05 × cos(9.9)t

Explanation:

given data

mass = 5 kg

length = 10 cm = 0.1 m

displaced = 5 cm

to find out

position as a function of time

solution

we will apply here equilibrium that is

mass × g = k × length

put here value and find k

k = \frac{5*9.8}{.01}

k = 490 N/m

and ω is

ω = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

ω = \sqrt{\frac{490}{5} }

ω = 9.9

so here position w.r.t  time is

y = 0.05 × cosωt

y = 0.05 × cos(9.9)t

so position as a function of time is y = 0.05 × cos(9.9)t

What happens to the movement of particles in a liquid when it is heated?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.

What is the function of a capacitor in an electric circuit
topjm [15]
Capacitors function is to store up electricity and release it when the current is flowing. When there is no current, Capacitors still have electricity stored in them and can be discharged accidentally if something conductive touches them.

Owen throws a baseball straight upward. We can ignore air resistance.
dusya [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the ball is constant and equal to -9.81 m/s² (acting downwards)

The velocity of the ball reduces at a constant rate with time on its way up

Explanation:

The motion of the ball upwards is described by the following equation;

v = u - g × t

v² = u² - 2 × g × s

Where;

v = The final velocity of the ball

u = The initial velocity of the ball

g = The acceleration due to gravity = Constant

s = The height of the bass after a given time, t

t = The time in which the ball is rising

Therefore, the acceleration of the ball = The acceleration due to gravity  (Constant) = -9.81 m/s²↓

From v = u - g × t = u - 9.81 × t , the velocity of the ball reduces at a constant rate with time on its way up.
