<span>The zero reference position should be the position the system has the least potential energy. As an object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Gravity's ability to do work (potential energy) reaches zero when it hits the ground and stops falling, hence the ground is the most common zero reference position.</span>

A tennis ball on mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 0.379g and air resistance is negligible, is hit directly upward
Studentka2010 [4]

 To solve this, we use the formula:

y = v0 t + 0.5 a t^2

where y is distance, v0 is initial velocity, t is time and a is acceleration

 

Since we know that total time is 8.5 seconds, hence going up must be 4.25 s and going down is 4.25 s.

a = 0.379 g = 0.379 (9.8 m/s^2) = 3.7142 m/s^2

 

going up:

y = v0 (4.25) - 0.5 (3.7142) (4.25)^2

y = 4.25 v0 – 33.5439                       --> eqtn 1

 

going down:

y = 0 (4.25) + 0.5 (3.7142) (4.25)^2

y = 33.5439

y = 33.5439 m

 

Calculating for v0 from equation 1:

33.5439 = 4.25 v0 – 33.5439

4.25 v0 = 67.0877

v0 = 15.78535 m/s

 

answers:

a. y = 33.5439 m

b. v0 = 15.78535 m/s

c.

A sinusoidal electromagnetic wave from a radio station passes perpendicularly through an open window that has area of 0.700 m2 .
Annette [7]

Answer

given,

Area = 0.7 m²

electric field of wave = 0.0400 V/m

time = t =30 s

intensity of electromagnetic wave

I = \dfrac{E_0^2}{2\mu_0c}

E_0^2 = 2 E_{rms}^2

c is speed of light

I = \dfrac{2E_{rms}^2}{2\mu_0c}

I = \dfrac{E_{rms}^2}{\mu_0c}

I = \dfrac{0.04^2}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 3 \times 10^8}

I = 4.24 x 10⁻⁶ W/m²

the amount of energy required

E = I A t

E = 4.24 x 10⁻⁶ x 0.7 x 30

E = 8.9 x 10⁻⁵ J
