In order to calculate the time taken by the snowball to reach the highest point in its journey, we need to consider the variables along the y-direction.
Let us list out what we know from the question so that we can decide on the equation to be used.
We know that Initial Y Velocity = 8.4 m/s
Acceleration in the Y direction = -9.8 m/, since the acceleration due to gravity points in the downward direction.
Final Y Velocity = 0 because at the highest point in its path, an object comes to rest momentarily before falling down.
Time taken t = ?
From the list above, it is easy to see that the equation that best suits our purpose here is
Plugging in the numbers, we get 0 = 8.4 - (9.8)t
Solving for t, we get t = 0.857 s
Therefore, the snowball takes 0.86 seconds to reach its highest point.
The spring scale will read 559 Newton's or 125.7 pounds.
This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the blue end of the spectrum. If the star is moving away from us, it’s waves are effectively stretched out when they reach earth, increasing their wavelength. This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the red end of the spectrum.
Answer:
t = 4.17 [s]
Explanation:
We know that work is defined as the product of force by distance.
W = F*d
where:
F = force [N] (units of Newtons)
d = distance = 6.34 x 10⁴ [mm] = 63.4 [m]
In order to find the force, we must determine the weight of the box, the weight can be determined by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.
w = m*g
where:
m = mass = 1.47 x 10⁴ [g] = 14.7 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
w = 14.7*9.81
w = 144.2 [N]
Therefore the work can be calculated.
W = w*d
W = 144.2*63.4
W = 9142.72 [J] (units of Joules)
Power is now defined in physics as the relationship of work at a given time
P = W/t
where:
P = power = 2190 [W]
t = time [s]
Now clearing t, we have.
t = W/P
t = 9142.72/2190
t = 4.17 [s]
