Technically, I can't answer the question, because you won't
let me see the picture that goes along with it and is a part of it.
But I'm familiar with the set-up, have dealt with the question before,
and I can answer it from my previous experience and general knowledge.
If there is 500g of mass inside the jar when you lower it over
the candle, then there will be 500g of mass at any time after that,
forever, or until you pick up the jar and take some mass out or put
some more in. It doesn't matter how long you wait. It also doesn't
matter whether or not the candle is burning, whether or not the sun
is shining on the jar, or whether somebody comes along and spray-paints
the outside of the jar with black paint. Matter is not created or destroyed.
Whatever mass was inside when the jar got closed stays in there.
Acceleration = change in velocity/time
By F = ma,
6 = 33 x change in velocity / 9
change in velocity = +1.636 m/s
Answer:Take into account the the Earths gravity is 9.8 meters a second
Explanation:
Gravity pulls down on the ball at g=-9.81 m/s^2. Up is positive, down is negative.The ball started at a certain initial velocity of Vi m/s. Time it took is t=4s. Final velocity is Vf=0 m/s, because at the highest point the ball stops moving.
Vf=(g*t)+Vi
Rearrange for Vi.
Vi=Vf-(g*t)
Vi=0-(-9.81*4)=39.24 m/s (upward)
Think about it this way for the non-mathematical approach. The ball stops at the top. The initial velocity gets reduced by 9.81 m/s every second, and reaches 0 m/s at the top. It took 4 seconds, so 9.81*4 is equal to the initial upward velocity.
