Answer:

The ball was in the air for 5.0 seconds

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown above at a certain angle from the horizontal it follows a projectile motion.

The ball has a specific vertical and horizontal velocity.

The time take for the ball to reach at the top of its path is also the time taken by the vertical velocity vector to become zero. This is the first half of the projectile motion (ball is going up).

For the second half, the ball comes down and it accelerates with same gravitational acceleration from which it was decelerating in the first half. Hence the time to come down will be the same 2.5 seconds.

So the total time the ball was in the air is twice of 2.5, i.e,

5.0 seconds

makkiz [27]

Answer:

31.25

Explanation:

The formula for the potential energy of a spring is \frac{1}{2}kx^2, where x is the distance in meters the spring is stretched. Plugging in the numbers that you are given, you get \frac{1}{2}\cdot 250\cdot 0.25=31.25. Hope this helps!

In a game of tug of war, team one pulls to the right with a force of 500 newtons and team two pulls to the left with a force of
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

There is no set way to do this. All you have to do is define left and right. Left will be minus and right will be the opposite --- plus.

That is completely arbitrary. It could be the other way around. It does not matter.

Left is minus so: - 600 N   is the force going left.

Right plus so: + 500 N

Now just add.

Net Force = +500 - 600

Net Force = - 100 N

So the Net Force is - 100 N going to the left.
