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

When you burn natural gas in the laboratory, methane burns. What numbers fill in the blanks to balance this equation? ___CH4 + _
Luda [366]
The answer is CH4, 2O2, ? CO2 H20.
In the reaction, the the bonds in the methane and oxygen come apart, the atoms rearrange and then re-bond to form water and carbon dioxide. The little number written at the lower right after an atom (subscript) tells how many of that atom are in the molecule. The big number written in front of a molecule (coefficient) shows how many of that molecule there are. All the atoms in the products come from the atoms in the reactants.

The reactants are on the left side of the equation and the products are on the right. In the reaction, the bonds in the methane and oxygen come apart, the atoms rearrange and then re-bond to form water and carbon dioxide

All the atoms in the reactants form the products so the mass of the reactants and the products is the same. No new atoms are created and no atoms are destroyed.

A 4.5-kg object oscillates on a horizontal spring with an amplitude of 3.8 cm. Its maximum acceleration is 26 m/s2 . Find (a) th
zimovet [89]

Answer:

F = - K X     force constant for spring

a = F / m      maximum acceleration

F = 4.5 kg * 26 m/s^2 = 117 Newtons

(A)  K = 117 N / .038 m = 3079 N/m

ω = (K/M)^1/2 = (117/5)^1/2 = 4.84 / sec

(B) f = ω / 2 pi = 4.84 / 6.28 = .77 /sec

(C) P = 1 / f = 1/.77   = 1.30 sec

Can someone please explain to me why the net force of the ball changes in the Y direction and not the X Direction? I made little
stiks02 [169]
Whenever an object is in projectile motion, that is, it has 2-dimensional motion in the x and y axis, the resultant force on the object is in the y-direction.
This is because once the object has been projected, or the ball has been kicked in this case, there is no longer a force being applied on it in the x-direction. The air resistance is also neglected so the ball's final velocity in the x-direction is equal to its initial velocity in the x-direction.
However, the force of gravity cannot be neglected and causes the ball to come downwards. Therefore, after the ball has been projected, the net force on the ball is downwards, due to gravity.
