A baseball is hit nearly straight up into the air with a speed of 22 m/s. (a) how high does it go? (b) how long is it in the air

Mariulka [41]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

When the ball attains maximum height, it will have zero vertical velocity.
The maximum height, h. obeys the equation
0 = (22 m/s)² - 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(h m)
h = 22²/(2*9.8) = 24.694 m

Answer: The maximum height attained is 24.7 m (nearest tenth)

Part b.
The vertical height traveled by the ball obeys the equation
h = (22 m/s)t - (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)²
where
h = vertical height, m
g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity
t = time, s

To find how long the ball stays in the air, set h = 0 to obtain
4.9t² - 22t = 0
t(4.9t - 22) = 0
t = 0, or t = 22/4.9 = 4.49 s
t = 0 corresponds to the launch, and t = 4.49 s corresponds to when the ball retuns to the ground.

Answer: The ball stays in the air for 4.5 s (nearest tenth)

If 28.0 J of work is done by an external force to move a charge from a potential of 8.0 V 8.0 V to a potential of 4.0 V , 4.0 V,

jonny [76]

Answer:

Change in electric potential energy is -28.0 J

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is defined as the work is done to move a charge particle from one position to another in space in the presence of other charge particle or electric potential.

Electric potential energy is also equal to the change in the configuration of the charge particles.

Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = - Work Done

According to the problem, Work Done is equal to 28 J. Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = -28 J

A ball is rolled of a 2.14m table at 8m/s. Find the time of flight for the ball and the horizontal range

Mama L [17]

Answer:

0.661 s, 5.29 m

Explanation:

In the y direction:

Δy = 2.14 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(2.14 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.661 s

In the x direction:

v₀ = 8 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.661 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (8 m/s) (0.661 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.661 s)²

Δx = 5.29 m

Round as needed.

If the distance from a light source triples, how does light intensity change? The intensity will be 3x greater. The intensity wi

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The intensity will be 1/9 as much.

Explanation:

The intensity of the light or any source is inversely related to the square of the distance.

$I\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }$

Now according to the question the distance is increased by three times than,

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{r_{1}^{2} }{r_{2}^{2} }$

Therefore,

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{r_{1}^{2} }{(3r_{1})^{2} }\\\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{1}{9} \\{I_{2}=\frac{1}{9}{I_{1} }$

Therefore the intensity will become 1/9 times to the initial intensity.

How do we prove the earth is round? What evidence do we have and reasoning?

Jlenok [28]

Answer: Go to the harbor. When a ship sails off toward the horizon, it doesn't just get smaller and smaller until it's not visible anymore. Instead, the hull seems to sink below the horizon first, then the mast. When ships return from sea, the sequence is reversed: First the mast, then the hull, seem to rise over the horizon.

Climbing to a high point will allow you to be able to see farther if you go higher. If the Earth was flat, you'd be able to see the same distance no matter your elevation
