1) 29.7 m/s

We can solve the first part of the problem by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the initial kinetic energy when the ball is thrown from the ground will be entirely converted into gravitational potential energy as the ball reaches its maximum heigth, so we can write:

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh

where

m is the mass of the ball

v is the initial speed

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the maximum height

Re-arranging the equation:

v=\sqrt{2gh}

and substituting:

g = 9.8 m/s^2

h = 45 m

We find

v=\sqrt{2(9.8)(45)}=29.7 m/s

2) 6.0 s

First of all, we can calculate how long the ball takes to reach the maximum height. This can be done by using the equation:

v=u+at

where

v = 0 is the final speed of the ball, when it is at its maximum height

u = 29.7 m/s is the initial speed

a = -g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

t is the time

Solving for t,

t= \frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-29.7}{-9.8}=3.0 s

So the ball takes 3.0 s to reach the maximum heigth. The time it takes to fall down again is equal, so also 3.0 s, so the total time of the motion is

t = 3.0 + 3.0 = 6.0 s

An iron block of density rhoFe and of volume l 3 is immersed in a fluid of density rhofluid. The block hangs from a scale which
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

R=m*g-∀fl*g*l3

Explanation:

<em>An iron block of density rhoFe and of volume l 3 is immersed in a fluid of density rhofluid. The block hangs from a scale which reads W as the weight. The top of the block is a height h below the surface of the fluid. The correct equation for the reading of the scale is</em>

From Archimedes' principle we know that a body when immersed in a fluid, fully or partially, experiences an the upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. As the body is fully submerged in water, volume of water displaced  

density of iron =mass/ volume

rho=m/l3

mass=rhol3

weight fluid=rhofluid*g*Volume

weight of fluid=rhofluid*g*l3

F=∀fl*g*l3

Downward force is weight of iron

w=m*g

Reading on the spring scale

R=w-F

R=m*g-∀fl*g*l3

m=mass of iron

g=acceleration due to ravity

rhfld=density of fluid

l3=volume of fluid displaced

Why are such scientific advances still valuable?
Sergeu [11.5K]
Because the more advances made in the world means the more we can learn on how things work and how we can better the lives of humans and other species. If we didn't have scientific advancements we wouldn't have cell phones, electric, tv, car, computers, ect. We would still be living in Cave man era with clubs and horrible language skills.
