To answer this problem, we will use the equations of motions.

Part (a):
For the ball to start falling back to the ground, it has to reach its highest position where its final velocity will be zero.
The equation that we will use here is:
v = u + at where
v is the final velocity = 0 m/sec
u is the initial velocity = 160 m/sec
a is acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/sec^2 (the negative sign is because the ball is moving upwards, thus, its moving against gravity)
t is the time that we want to find.
Substitute in the equation to get the time as follows:
v = u + at
0 = 160 - 9.8t
9.8t = 160
t = 160/9.8 = 16.3265 sec
Therefore, the ball would take 16.3265 seconds before it starts falling back to the ground

Part (b):
First, we will get the total distance traveled by the ball as follows:
s = 0.5 (u+v)*t
s = 0.5(160+0)*16.3265
s = 1306.12 meters
The equation that we will use to solve this part is:
v^2 = u^2 + 2as where
v is the final velocity we want to calculate
u is the initial velocity of falling = 0 m/sec (ball starting falling when it reached the highest position, So, the final velocity in part a became the initial velocity here)
a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (positive as ball is moving downwards)
s is the distance covered = 1306.12 meters
Substitute in the above equation to get the final velocity as follows:
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
v^2 = (0)^2 + 2(9.8)(1306.12)
v^2 = 25599.952 m^2/sec^2
v = 159.99985 m/sec
Therefore, the velocity of the ball would be 159.99985 m/sec when it hits the ground.

Formula for the distance (d) is given by d = rate*time. For example if you are traveling at 60 mph for 3 hours the distance trav
babunello [35]

Explanation:

Distance covered by the particle is given by:

Distance (d) = rate (v) × time (t)                

Speed of Mary, v₁ = 50 mph

Speed of Jim, v₂ = 60 mph

It is assumed that, Mary and Jim leave at the same time. After one hour, Jim is 10 miles ahead.

Distance travelled by Jim, d₁ = (60t + 10)

Distance travelled by Mary, d₂ = 50t

The distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles.

60t+10-50t\ge100

10t\ge90

t\ge9\ h

So, Jim takes is 9 hours more than Mary to cover same distance. Hence, this is the required solution.

Ch 31 HW Problem 31.63 10 of 15 Constants In an L-R-C series circuit, the source has a voltage amplitude of 116 V , R = 77.0 Ω ,
Degger [83]

Answer:

a. I = 0.76 A

b. Z = 150.74

c. RL₁ = 34.41  ,  RL₂ = 602.58

d. RL₂ = 602.58

Explanation:

V₁ = 116 V , R₁ = 77.0 Ω , Vc = 364 V ,  Rc = 473 Ω

a.

Using law of Ohm

V = I * R

I = Vc / Rc =  364 V / 473 Ω

I = 0.76 A

b.

The impedance of the circuit in this case the resistance, capacitance and inductor

V = I * Z

Z = V / I

Z = 116 v / 0.76 A

Z = 150.74

c.

The reactance of the inductor can be find using

Z² = R² + (RL² - Rc²)

Solve to RL'

RL = Rc (+ / -) √ ( Z² - R²)

RL = 473 (+ / -)  √ 150.74² 77.0²

RL = 473 (+ / -)  (129.58)

RL₁ = 34.41  ,  RL₂ = 602.58

d.

The higher value have the less angular frequency  

RL₂ = 602.58

ω = 1 / √L*C

ω = 1 / √ 602.58 * 473

f = 285.02 Hz
