a) 2.75 s
The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by the equation
where
h = 4 m is the initial height of the ball
u = 12 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball (upward)
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)
We can find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground by substituting y=0 into the equation:
This is a second-order equation. By solving it for t, we find:
t = -0.30 s
t = 2.75 s
The first solution is negative, so we discard it; the second solution, t = 2.75 s, is the one we are looking for.
b) -15.0 m/s (downward)
The final velocity of the ball can be calculated by using the equation:
where
u = 12 m/s is the initial (upward) velocity
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)
t is the time
By subsisuting t = 2.75 s, we find the velocity of the ball as it reaches the ground:
And the negative sign means the direction is downward.
Answer:
Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy
Explanation:
A motor uses electrical energy to create mechanical energy by creating magnetic fields causing the motor to spin. A generator is the opposite and converts mechanical into electrical by spinning a motor in a magnetic field.
Answer:
Maximum height, h = 10 m
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of golf ball, m = 45 g = 0.045 kg
The ball comes down on a tree root and bounces straight up with an initial speed of 14.0 m/s.
We need to find the height the ball will rise after the bounce. It is based on the conservation of energy such that,
h is maximum height raised by the ball
So, the ball will raised to a height of 10 meters.
The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.
No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring. This does not work. You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.
