You throw a baseball directly upward at time t = 0 at an initial speed of 12.3 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches

above where it leaves your hand? At what times does the ball pass through half the maximum height? Ignore air resistance and take g = 9.80 m/s2.

Explanation:

At the maximum height, the ball's velocity is 0.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(0 m/s)² = (12.3 m/s)² + 2(-9.80 m/s²)(x - 0 m)

x = 7.72 m

The ball reaches a maximum height of 7.72 m.

The times where the ball passes through half that height is:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

(7.72 m / 2) = (0 m) + (12.3 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

3.86 = 12.3 t - 4.9 t²

4.9 t² - 12.3 t + 3.86 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

t = [ -b ± √(b² - 4ac) ] / 2a

t = [ 12.3 ± √(12.3² - 4(4.9)(3.86)) ] / 9.8

t = 0.368, 2.14

The ball reaches half the maximum height after 0.368 seconds and after 2.14 seconds.

A 20-kg cart travels at 20 m/s in a circle with a radius of 20 m. What is the centripetal force?
Vlad1618 [11]

Centripetal force = (mass) x (speed)² / (radius)

                           = (20 kg) x (20 m/s)² / (20 m)

                           = (20 x 20 / 20)  (kg-meter/sec²)

                           = 20 newtons

Marc and Linh stretch out a long spring on the classroom floor. Marc holds one end of the spring still. Linh creates waves in th
Soloha48 [4]

The speed of the wave created by Linh in the spring by moving the other end right and left with a frequency of 2 Hz is 1m/s.

<h3>How to calculate speed of a wave?</h3>

The speed of a wave can be calculated by using the following formula:

Speed = Wavelength x Frequency

According to this question, Linh creates waves in the spring by moving the other end right and left with a frequency of 2 Hz. If wave crests are 0.5 m apart, the speed can be calculated as follows:

speed = 2Hz × 0.5m

speed = 1m/s

Therefore, the speed of the wave created by Linh in the spring by moving the other end right and left with a frequency of 2 Hz is 1m/s.

The y component of a vector is 36, and the angle between the vector and the x axis is 27 what is the magnitude of the vector
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Magnitude of Vector = 79.3

Explanation:

When a vector is resolved into its rectangular components, it forms two vector components. These components  are named as x-component and y-component, they are calculated by the following formulae:

x-component of vector = (Magnitude of Vector)(Cos θ)

y-component of vector = (Magnitude of Vector)(Sin θ)

where,

θ = angle of the vector with x-axis = 27°

Therefore, using the values in the equation of y-component, we get:

36 = (Magnitude of Vector)(Sin 27°)

Magnitude of Vector = 36/Sin 27°

<u>Magnitude of Vector = 79.3</u>
