A ball is tossed with enough speed straight up so that it is in the air several seconds. (a) What is the velocity of the ball wh
1 answer:
Answer:
The velocity of the ball at it's highest point is zero.
Explanation:
When we toss a ball upwards as we know that it's motion is an uniformly accelerated motion with acceleration = in the downward direction.
Hence as we throw the ball upwards it's speed will go on decreasing as it gains height. The ball will stop gaining height when it's velocity becomes zero and the ball starts to descend again towards earth.
If the ball is tossed at an angle with the horizontal in that case it's velocity at the top most point will not be zero but in our case since the ball is tossed vertically it's velocity at the topmost point will become zero.

d) or 18.3 cm
Explanation:
For this case we have the following system with the forces on the figure attached.
We know that the spring compresses a total distance of x=0.10 m
Part a
The gravitational force is defined as mg so on this case the work donde by the gravity is:
Part b
For this case first we can convert the spring constant to N/m like this:
And the work donde by the spring on this case is given by:
Part c
We can assume that the initial velocity for the block is Vi and is at rest from the end of the movement. If we use balance of energy we got:
And if we solve for the initial velocity we got:
Part d
Let d1 represent the new maximum distance, in order to find it we know that :
And replacing we got:
And we can put the terms like this:
If we multiply all the equation by 2 we got:
Now we can replace the values and we got:
And solving the quadratic equation we got that the solution for or 18.3 cm because the negative solution not make sense.
