To answer this you must know that the acceleration caused by gravity upon the ball, or any object, is -9.8 m/s^2
there's two ways to solve this
first, use the position equation
x=(1/2)at^2+Vot+Xo
Xo, the initial position, is 3.5 m
x(t), the final position, is 0 m (the ground)
Vo, the initial velocity, is 0 m/s, since you just drop the ball
and a is -9.8
so
0=(1/2)(-9.8)t^2+3.5
-3.5=-4.9t^2
t^2=0.71
t=0.845
so it takes the ball 0.845 s to hit the ground
now, using the velocity equation, v=at+Vo,
v=(-9.8)(0.845)+0=-8.28 m/s
therefore, the speed of the ball is 8.28 m/s when it hits the ground

Why does the number of dwarf planets recognized by astronomers in the solar system sometimes increase?
gregori [183]
Because sometimes it happens that they discover a dwarf planet
that nobody ever knew about before.  When that happens, they
ADD the new one to the list of known dwarf planets, and then the
total number of dwarf planets on the list increases by 1 .

Your roommate leaves a 120W fan running in your apartment.Over the course of an hour,how much thermal energy does the fan add to
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

4.32\cdot 10^5 J

Explanation:

Power is related to energy by the following relationship:

P=\frac{E}{t}

where

P is the power used

E is the energy used

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we know that

- the power of the fan is P = 120 W

- the fan has been running for one hour, which corresponds to a time of

t = 1 h \cdot (60 min/h)(60 s/min)=3600 s

So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find E, the energy (in the form of thermal energy) released by the fan:

E=Pt=(120 W)(3600 s)=4.32\cdot 10^5 J

Two long, parallel wires are separated by 2.2 mm. Each wire has a 32-AA current, but the currents are in opposite directions. Pa
Alex

Answer:

B=1.1636*10^{-3}T

Explanation:

Given data

d_{wires}=2.2mm=0.022m\\ I_{current}=32A\\

To find

Magnitude of the net magnetic field B

Solution

The magnitude of the net magnetic field can be find as:

B=2*u\frac{I}{2\pi r}\\ B=2*(4\pi*10^{-7}  )\frac{32}{2\pi (0.022/2)} \\ B=1.1636*10^{-3}T
