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

Anton [14]

Answer:

Efficiency = StartFraction T Subscript h Baseline minus T Subscript C Baseline over T Subscript h Baseline EndFraction times 100. Efficiency equals T Subscript c Baseline minus T Subscript h Baseline over T Subscript h Baseline all times 100.

Without completing the calculations, determine what the new volume will be in the problem below. Also, explain how you were able
Talja [164]
Boyles law

Pressure and volume are inversely proportional as the new variable changes from the known.

Double the pressure equals 1/2 of original volume, assuming temperature remains the same.

So 40.0 mL is the new volume as it is compressed.

A sports car skids off of a wet mountain road at 48.5 m/s and lands in the river, 110
Oxana [17]

Answer:

  about 4.74 seconds

Explanation:

The time to fall distance d from height h is given by ...

  t = √(2d/g)

  t = √(2·110 m/(9.8 m/s^2)) ≈ 4.74 s

It will take the car about 4.74 seconds to fall 110 meters to the river.

__

We assume the car's speed is horizontal, so does not add or subtract anything to/from the time to fall from the height.

John and Linda are arguing about the definition of density. John says the density of an object is proportional to itsmass. Linda
NeX [460]

Answer:

They are both correct.

Explanation:

The density of an object is defined as the ratio of its mass to its volume. This implies that the density of the object is both proportional to the mass and also to the volume of the object. John only mentioned mass which is correct. Linda mentioned the second variable on which density depends which is the volume of the object.

Hence considering the both statements objectively, one can say that they are both correct.
