A ball thrown vertically is caught by the thrower after 5.1s. Find the maximum height the ball reaches.

Answer:

h = 31.9 m

Explanation:

Since, the ball took 5.1 s in the air. Hence, the time to reach maximum height will be equal to the half of this value:

t = 5.1 s /2 = 2.55 s

Now, we use 1st equation of motion between the time of throwing and the time of reaching maximum height:

Vf = Vi + gt

where,

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since, ball momentarily stops at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = ?

g = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign for upward motion)

Therefore,

0 m/s = Vi + (-9.8 m/s²)(2.55 s)

Vi = 24.99 m/s

Now, we use second equation of motion for height (h):

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

h = (24.99 m/s)(2.55 s) + (0.5)(-9.8 m/s²)(2.55 s)²

h = 63.7 m - 31.8 m

<u>h = 31.9 m</u>

Which statements are true concerning Newton's law of gravitation? The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.

The gravitational force is an attractive force.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a long range force of attraction between any two masses.

Mathematically given as :

F=G.\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}

where:

m_1 & m_2 are the masses

r= distance between the center of mass of the two objects.

G= gravitational constant = 6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}

From the above relation of eq. (1) it is clear that,

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance and directly proportional to the masses.

The mass of an object is independent of its size due to the fact that density may vary for different objects.

The force of gravity varies with height as:

\frac{g}{g_x} =(\frac{r_x}{r} )^2

where:

g=9.8\,m.s^{-2}

g_x= gravity at height r_x of the center of mass of the object from the center of mass of the earth.

and we know that force:

F=m\times g

where: m= mass of the object.
