(a) 9.8 m/s^2, downward

There is only one force acting on the ball while it is in flight: the force of gravity, which is

F = mg

where

m is the mass of the ball

g is the gravitational acceleration

According to Newton's second law, the force acting on the ball is equal to the product between the mass of the ball and its acceleration, so

F = mg = ma

which means

a = g

So, the acceleration of the ball during the whole flight is equal to the acceleration of gravity:

g = -9.8 m/s^2

where the negative sign means the direction is downward.

(b) v = 0

Any object thrown upward reaches its maximum height when its velocity is zero:

v = 0

In fact, at that moment, the object's velocity is turning from upward to downward: that means that at that instant, the velocity must be zero.

(c) 8.72 m/s, upward

The initial velocity of the ball can be found by using the equation:

v = u + at

Where

v = 0 is the velocity at the maximum height

u is the initial velocity

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t is the time at which the ball reaches the maximum height: this is half of the time it takes for the ball to reach again the starting point of the motion, so

t=\frac{1.77 s}{2}=0.89 s

So we can now solve the equation for u, and we find:

u=v-at=0-(-9.8 m/s^2)(0.89 s)=8.72 m/s

(d) 3.88 m

The maximum height reached by the ball can be found by using the equation:

v^2 - u^2 = 2ad

where

v = 0 is the velocity at the maximum height

u = 8.72 m/s is the initial velocity

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

d is the maximum height reached

Solving the equation for d, we find

d=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0^2-(8.72 m/s)^2}{2(-9.8 m/s^2)}=3.88 m

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. They have different wavelengths - Because These radiations form a spectra that differs by the size of the wavelength.

2. They have different Frequencies (f) that is frequency = 1/ wavelength

(f = 1/wavelength)

3. They propagate at different speed though a non vacuum media (non vacuum media affect the speed based on the wavelength)

How does the orbital speed of an asteroid in a circular solar orbit with a radius of 4.0 AU compare to a circular solar orbit wi
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The circular solar orbital speed at 4.0AU is 1/4( one fourth) that at 1.0AU

Explanation:

am = mvr= angular momentum

am4= 4mvt

am1= mvp1

Vt=1/4vp

Vp=4vt

am1= 4mvt

am1=am4

The circular solar orbital speed at 4.0AU is 1/4 (one fourth) that at 1.0AU
