You punt a ball straight up at 20 m/s. What is the balls hangtime

The hang time of the ball is 4.08 s

Explanation:

The ball is in free fall motion: this means that it is acted upon gravity only, so its acceleration is the acceleration of gravity,

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$

downward (the negative sign refers to the downward direction).

Since this is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

First we calculate the time it takes for the ball to reach the maximum height, where the velocity is zero:

v = 0

Substituting:

u = +20 m/s

$a=-9.8 m/s^2$

we find t

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-20}{-9.8}=2.04 s$

The motion of the ball is symmetrical, so the total time of flight is just twice the time needed to reach the maximum height, therefore:

$T=2t=2(2.04)=4.08 s$

A car is cruising at a steady speed of 35 mph. Suddenly, a cuddly puppy runs out into the road. The driver takes 1.7 seconds to

Schach [20]

Answer:

The distance traveled is 0.037 mi

Explanation:

The equation for the position and velocity of an accelerated object is:

x = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a * t²

v = v0 + a * t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

t = time

a = acceleration

v0 = initial velocity

If the velocity is constant, then a = 0 and the position will be:

x = x0 + v * t where "v" is the velocity

First, let´s find the distance traveled until the driver push the brake:

The speed is constant. Then:

x = x0 + v * t (considering the origin of the reference system to be located at the point at which the driver sees the puppy, x0 = 0)

x = 35 mi/h (1 h / 3600 s) * 1.7 s = 0.017 mi

Then, the drivers moves with constant acceleration until the car stops (v = 0)

From the equation for velocity:

v = v0 + a * t

Since v = 0, we can obtain the acceleration of the car until it stops. With that acceleration, we can calculate how much distance the car moves before it stops.

0 = v0 + a * t

-v0 / t = a

-35 mi/h (1 h / 3600s) / 4.0 s = a

a = -2.4 x 10⁻³ mi/s²

The distance traveled will be:

x = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a * t²

Now x0 will be the distance traveled before the driver slows down.

x = 0.017 mi + 35 mi/h (1 h / 3600s) * 4 s + 1/2 * ( -2.4 x 10⁻³ mi/s²) * (4s)²

x = 0.037 mi

In comparing sunspots to other areas of the sun's surface one can say that sunspots are...?

taurus [48]

Answer:

D. Cooler

Explanation:

The Sun's surface has a temperature ranging from 6 000 Kelvin, thus it is very hot. The radioactive reaction in the core of the Sun is a nuclear fusion reaction. This reaction ensures continuous release of high energy from the surface of the Sun.

But during the reaction, some parts becomes cooler than other parts on its surface. Which is due to the release of high amount of energy into space. The Sun's spot can be found in the cooler part of the Sun.
