Answer:

Acceleration is equal to the displacement of an object divided by the time the object takes to complete the path

Explanation:

In other words, you can say that acceleration is the increase in the rate or speed of something.

Note: acceleration can also be negative, which means that instead of increasing, decrease in the rate or speed will happen. Such an acceleration is called deceleration.

I hope it helped! Good luck!!

A baseball is projected horizontally with an initial speed of 18.1 m/s from a height of 1.85 m. at what horizontal distance will
gtnhenbr [62]
1) The motion of the baseball consists of two separate motions along the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axis. The position on the two directions at time t is given by:
x(t)=v_0t
y(t)=h- \frac{1}{2}gt^2
where the motion on the x-axis is a uniform motion with constant speed v_0=18.1 m/s, while the motion on the y-axis is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2, and initial height h=1.85 m.

First of all, we can find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground by requiring y(t)=0:
0=h- \frac{1}{2}gt^2
t= \sqrt{ \frac{2h}{g} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2(1.85 m)}{9.81 m/s^2} }=  0.61 s

and if now we substitute this time into the equation for x(t), we find the horizontal distance covered during this time interval, which is the horizontal distance covered by the ball before hitting the ground:
x(t)=v_0 t=(18.1 m/s)(0.61 s)=11.04 m

2) Speed of the ball as it hits the ground
We need to find the components of the velocity on the two directions, at the istant when the ball hits the ground.
On the x-axis, the velocity is the same as the initial one: 
v_x=18.1 m/s
On the y-axis, the velocity is given by
v_y(t)=gt
If we substitute t=0.61 s (the time at which the ball reaches the ground), we find
v_y =gt=(9.81 m/s^2)(0.61 s)=6.0 m/s
And the speed of the ball is the magnitude of the resultant of the two components:
v= \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}= \sqrt{(18.1 m/s)^2+(6.0 m/s)^2}=19.1 m/s

A circuit contains an EMF source, a resistor R, a capacitor C, and an open switch in series. The capacitor initially carries zer
Flura [38]

Answer:

t = 1.098*RC

Explanation:

In order to calculate the time that the capacitor takes to reach 2/3 of its maximum charge, you use the following formula for the charge of the capacitor:

Q=Q_{max}[1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}]         (1)

Qmax: maximum charge capacity of the capacitor

t: time

R: resistor of the circuit

C: capacitance of the circuit

When the capacitor has 2/3 of its maximum charge, you have that

Q=(2/3)Qmax    

You replace the previous expression for Q in the equation (1), and use properties of logarithms to solve for t:

Q=\frac{2}{3}Q_{max}=Q_{max}[1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}]\\\\\frac{2}{3}=1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}\\\\e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}=\frac{1}{3}\\\\-\frac{t}{RC}=ln(\frac{1}{3})\\\\t=-RCln(\frac{1}{3})=1.098RC

The charge in the capacitor reaches 2/3 of its maximum charge in a time equal to 1.098RC
