You throw a baseball (mass 0.145 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 12.0 m/s. Air resistance can be neglected.

At what height above your hand does the ball have half as much upward velocity? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of height and velocity of the ball are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity of the ball at time t.

Placing the origin at the throwing point, y0 = 0.

Let´s use the equation of velocity to obtain the time at which the velocity is 12.0 m/s / 2 = 6.00 m/s.

v = v0 + g · t

6.00 m/s = 12.0 m/s -9.81 m/s² · t

(6.00 - 12.0)m/s / -9.81 m/s² = t

t = 0.612 s

Now, let´s calculate the height of the baseball at that time:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²     (y0 = 0)

y = 12.0 m/s · 0.612 s - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (0.612 s)²

y = 5.51 m

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Have a nice day!

lisov135 [29]

If you stand up in a big room and echo, your voice will echo from the walls. As long as the room is empty. Since the speed of sound is constant, depending on air density, the more humid the air the faster and farther sound travels. The speed of sound is constant, you could measure the time it takes for your voice to echo off the walls. The same thing happens with Doppler radar, but it’s not voice, it has higher frequency signals.<span> </span>

German physicist Werner Heisenberg related the uncertainty of an object's position (Δx) to the uncertainty in its velocity (Δ???
fredd [130]

Answer:

\Delta x = 5.47 \times 10^{-9} m

Explanation:

As we know by the principle of uncertainty that the product of uncertainty in position and uncertainty in momentum is given as

\Delta x \times \Delta P = \frac{h}{4\pi}

so here we know that

\Delta v = 0.01 \times 10^6 m/s

m = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

so we have

\Delta x \times (9.11 \times 10^{-31})(0.01 \times 10^6) = \frac{6.26 \times 10^{-34}}{4\pi}

\Delta x = 5.47 \times 10^{-9} m

Why is Pluto now called a dwarf planet
zvonat [6]
Before Pluto was discovered, it was predicted. Astronomers had observed that massive objects can affect the orbits of its neighbors, and, after seeing deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, assumed something substantial existed beyond their orbits.
When Pluto was spotted, it was thought to be the predicted object and was identified as a ninth planet.
A few decades later, astronomers started discovering more and more objects around other stars and didn’t know whether to call them planets or not. There appeared to be a need to define what a planet means, and that led to what some people consider Pluto’s demotion to a dwarf planet.
The International Astronomical Union decided that full-sized planets must orbit the sun, have a round shape, and have cleared their orbits of other objects. Pluto fulfills the first two criteria, but not the third.
It still goes around the sun, it’s round enough, it’s got moons, and behaves like a planet, but the idea is that Pluto did not form the same way as the rest of the planets. Pluto’s orbit is both eccentric and inclined more than the rest of the planets by about 17 degrees. That’s suggests something is different about this object.
This debate about whether to call it a planet or not is silly, because it doesn’t matter to Pluto what you call it. It is an interesting object, goes around the sun, and shows geology and an atmosphere.
There’s a tendency to define objects based on what they are now, but nothing is constant in the universe. There are some issues with the nomenclature, and a definition today may not apply to the same object tomorrow.
