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!

Suppose that Hubble's constant were H0 = 51 km/s/Mly (which is not its actual value). What would the approximate age of the univ
bija089 [108]

Given the Hubble's constant, the approximate age of the universe is 5.88 × 10⁹ Years.

Given the data in the question;

Hubble's constant; H_0 = 51km/s/Mly

Age of the universe; t = \ ?

We know that, the reciprocal of the Hubble's constant ( H_0 ) gives an estimate of the age of the universe ( t ). It is expressed as:

Age\ of\ Universe; t = \frac{1}{H_0}

Now,

Hubble's constant; H_0 = 51km/s/Mly

We know that;

1\ light\ years = 9.46*10^{15}m

so

1\ Million\ light\ years = [9.46 * 10^{15}m] * 10^6 = 9.46 * 10^{21}m

Therefore;

H_0 = 51\frac{km}{\frac{s}{Mly} } = 51000\frac{m}{s\ *\ Mly}  \\\\H_0 = 51000\frac{m}{s\ *\ (9.46*10^{21}m)} \\\\H_0 =  5.39 *10^{-18}s^{-1}\\

Now, we input this Hubble's constant value into our equation;

Age\ of\ Universe; t = \frac{1}{H_0}\\\\t = \frac{1}{ 5.39 *10^{-18}s^{-1}} \\\\t = 1.855 * 10^{17}s\\\\We\ convert\ to\ years\\\\t =  \frac{ 1.855 * 10^{17}}{60*60*24*365}yrs \\\\t = \frac{ 1.855 * 10^{17}}{31536000}yrs\\\\t = 5.88 *10^9 years

Therefore, given the Hubble's constant, the approximate age of the universe is 5.88 × 10⁹ Years.
