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 force is applied to a block sliding along a surface (Figure 2). The magnitude of the force is 15 N, and the horizontal compone
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Fy = 14.3 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must know that the force is a vector and has magnitude and direction, therefore it can be decomposed into the force in the X & y components:

When we have the components on the horizontal and vertical axes we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

F = \sqrt{F_{x}^{2} +F_{y}^{2}  }

where:

F = 15 [N]

Fx = horizontal component = 4.5 [N]

Fy = vertical component [N]

15=\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}\\ 15^{2}= (\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}})^{2} \\225 = 4.5^{2}+F_{y} ^{2}\\  F_{y}^{2} =225 -4.5^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2}=204.75\\F_{y}=\sqrt{204.75}\\  F_{y}=14.3 [N]

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Cell Death

Explanation:

Cell death is defined as the biological process which ceases the function of the cell to carry out. This can be caused due to the formation of new cells in place of old cells.

Or it can be cause due to some serious disease or may be caused due to the injury or due to the death of that organism to which these cells belong.

And another case is that when X-ray photon interact with the human cell while it passes through the cell, it   will damage the cell and cease it to function well and a more drastic condition occurs and that cell become dead.
