The first drop makes the ball travel 16 m.
Then the maximum height decreases to 16 x 0.81
And the distance traveled is twice the distance traveled.
If we make a pattern, this forms a geometric progression in which the common ratio is 0.81 and the first term is 16.
The sum of this series: a / (1 - r)
= 16 ( 1 - 0.81)
= 84 feet
This is the upward height, and the ball returns every time so:
Total distance = 84 x 2
= 168 feet

A charge moves a distance of 1.8 cm in the direction of a uniform electric field having a magnitude of 214 N/C. The electrical p
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

 13.4 x 10 raise to power -19  C

Explanation:

. The distance moved by a charge in the direction of a uniform electric field is d= 1.8 cm =0.018 m

. The uniform electric field is  E = 214 N/M

, The decrease in electrical potential energy is   d(P.E) = 51.63 x 10 raise to power -19 J

Let the magnitude of the charge of the moving particle be q

which is given by the equation

d(P.E) =qEd

51.63 x 10 power -19 = q(214)(0.018)

51.63 x 10 power -19 =3.852q

by making q the formular,

q = 13.4 x 10 power -19 C

A massive block is being pulled along a horizontal frictionless surface by a constant horizontal force. The block must be ______
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The body must be moving with a constant non zero acceleration.

Explanation:

Force produces acceleration on any mass it is applied on. The acceleration produced depends on the magnitude and direction of the force. For this block being dragged by a constant horizontal force, The body will undergo a constant non-zero acceleration that will steadily increase its velocity along the direction of the force.
