Answer:

t=0.47s

Explanation:

the ball has uniformly accelerated movement due to gravity

Vo=initial speed=4.6m/s

g=gravity=-9.8m/s^2

Vf=final speed=0, the player must wait for the ball to stop. so the final speed will be 0

we can use the following ecuation

T=(Vf-Vo)/g

T=(0-4.6)/-9.8m/s^2

T=0.47s

At a given point on a horizontal streamline in flowing air, the static pressure is â2.0 psi (i.e., a vacuum) and the velocity is
Nastasia [14]
At a point on the streamline, Bernoulli's equation is
p/ρ + v²/(2g) = constant
where
p = pressure
v = velocity
ρ = density of air, 0.075 lb/ft³ (standard conditions)
g = 32 ft/s²

Point 1:
p₁ = 2.0 lb/in² = 2*144 = 288 lb/ft²
v₁ = 150 ft/s

Point 2 (stagnation):
At the stagnation point, the velocity is zero.

The density remains constant.
Let p₂ = pressure at the stagnation point.
Then,
p₂ = ρ(p₁/ρ + v₁²/(2g))
p₂ = (288 lb/ft²) + [(0.075 lb/ft³)*(150 ft/s)²]/[2*(32 ft/s²)
     = 314.37 lb/ft²
     = 314.37/144 = 2.18 lb/in²

Answer: 2.2 psi

Assume theres no air reaistance. (or else the ball will oppose the motion of the ball, hence decrease the velocity increase)
see if there are any problems!

explain why conductors and insulators are both required to construct the electrical wiring in your home
olchik [2.2K]
Conductors (something that allows electricity to flow easily) allow for electricity to flow easily. This would be the wires. If you don't have conductors, then you cannot have electricity flow.

Insulators (something that doesn't allow electricity to flow through it) is important because it allows us to be able to touch the cables or place them next to one another and not shock ourselves
