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.

A charged box ( m = 495 g, q = + 2.50 μ C ) is placed on a frictionless incline plane. Another charged box ( Q = + 75.0 μ C ) is
Rudik [331]

Answer:

a=16.2m/s^{2}

Explanation:

From the attached file diagram, the total force acting on the charged box is the downward weight and the repulsive force acting in opposite to the weight force . Hence we can write the total force as

F=masin\alpha -\frac{kQq}{r^{2}} \\\alpha =35^{0}, m=0.495kg, r=0.61m, Q=2.5*10^{-6}, q=75.0*10^{-6}\\

When fixed,F=o

Hence

masin\alpha =\frac{kQq}{r^{2}}\\0.495kg*asin35=\frac{9*10^{9}*2.5*10^{-6}*75.0*10^{-6}}{0.61^{2}} \\0.28a=4.5351\\a=\frac{4.5351}{0.28}\\\\ a=16.2m/s^{2}

The value of the acceleration is 16.2m/s^2

trasher [3.6K]

Answer: B. A gravitational field

Explanation:

Surrounding earth is gravitational field. Gravitational field is a region of space were gravitational force can be felt and gravitational force is the gravitational pull on the surface of the earth. The presence of this gravity is what allow us to be able to walk freely without falling. It also make us jump up and be able to land back on the ground. Assuming there are no force of gravity in the surface of the earth, there won't be any possibility of landing back on the ground after jumping.
