A. The difference in the two ball's time in the air is 3 seconds

B. The velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground is 24.5 m/s

C. The balls 0.500 s after they are thrown are 14.7 m apart

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

Initial Height = H = 19.6 m

Initial Velocity = u = 14.7 m/s

<u>Unknown:</u>

A. Δt = ?

B. v = ?

C. Δh = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h2>Question A:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

h = H - ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

0 = 19.6 - 14.7t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

0 = 19.6 - 14.7t - 4.9t^2

4.9t^2 + 14.7t - 19.6 = 0

t^2 + 3t - 4 = 0

(t + 4)(t - 1) = 0

(t - 1) = 0

\boxed {t = 1 ~ second}

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

h = H + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

0 = 19.6 + 14.7t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

0 = 19.6 + 14.7t - 4.9t^2

4.9t^2 - 14.7t - 19.6 = 0

t^2 - 3t - 4 = 0

(t - 4)(t + 1) = 0

(t - 4) = 0

\boxed {t = 4 ~ seconds}

The difference in the two ball's time in the air is:

\Delta t = 4 ~ seconds - 1 ~ second

\large {\boxed {\Delta t = 3 ~ seconds} }

<h2>Question B:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

v^2 = u^2 - 2gH

v^2 = (-14.7)^2 + 2(-9.8)(-19.6)

v^2 = 600.25

v = \sqrt {600.25}

\boxed {v = 24.5 ~ m/s}

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

v^2 = u^2 - 2gH

v^2 = (14.7)^2 + 2(-9.8)(-19.6)

v^2 = 600.25

v = \sqrt {600.25}

\boxed {v = 24.5 ~ m/s}

The velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground is 24.5 m/s

<h2>Question C:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

h = H - ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h = 19.6 - 14.7(0.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(0.5)^2

\boxed {h = 11.025 ~ m}

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

h = H + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h = 19.6 + 14.7(0.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(0.5)^2

\boxed {h = 25.725 ~ m}

The difference in the two ball's height after 0.500 s is:

\Delta h = 25.725 ~ m - 11.025 ~ m

\large {\boxed {\Delta h = 14.7 ~ m} }

What term was used to describe the final digit
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Significant digits (also called significant figures or “sig figs” for short) indicate the precision of a measurement. A number with more significant digits is more precise. For example, 8.00 cm is more precise than 8.0 cm.

Some good estimates about the human body can be made if it is assumed that we are made mostly of water. The mass of a water mole
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of water molecule m=2.99\times 10^{-26}\ kg

mass of person M=62\ kg

It is given that body is mostly made up of water

suppose n water molecules constitutes 62 kg

so n\times m=M

n=\frac{62}{2.99\times 10^{-26}}

n=20.73\times 10^{26}\ kg
