A physics student throws a softball straight up into the air. The ball was in the air for a total of 3.56 s before it was caught

meriva

Answer:

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

Explanation:

This is a case of an object which experiments a free fall, that is, an uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and in which effects from air friction and Earth's rotation can be neglected.

From statement we must understand that the student threw the softball upwards and it is caught at original position 3.56 seconds later. Initial and final heights, time and gravitational acceleration are known and initial speed is unknown. The following equation of motion is used:

$y = y_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g \cdot t^{2}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$y_{o}$ - Initial height of the softball, measured in meters.

$y$ - Final height of the softball, measured in meters.

$v_{o}$ - Initial velocity of the softball, measured in meters per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $y = y_{o}$ , $t = 3.56\,s$ and $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the initial velocity of the softball is:

$v_{o}\cdot (3\,s)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,s)^{2} = 0$

$3\cdot v_{o} -44.132\,m= 0$

$v_{o} = 14.711\,\frac{m}{s}$

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

True or False—An external force is defined as a force generated outside the system of interest that acts on an object inside the

inn [45]

Answer:

An external force is a force that acts on an object within the system from outside the system. This type of force is different than an internal force, which acts between two objects that are both within the system. The net external force combines these two definitions; it is the total combined external force

A $100 cart is moving down an inclined plane at 1.30 m/s. The cart collides with a stationary object and rebounds with a speed o

Rasek [7]

Answer:

0.65 kg*m/s and 0.165 kg*m/s

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 0.5kg

initial velolcity u=1.3m/s

final velocity v= 0.97m/s

Required

The change in momentum

Step two:

We know that the expression for impulse is given as

Ft= mv

Ft= 0.5*1.3

Ft= 0.65 kg*m/s

The expression for the change in momentum is given as

P= mΔv

substitute

Pt= 0.5*(1.3-0.97)

Pt= 0.5*0.33

Pt=0.165 kg*m/s

Which of the following objects has the greatest density

maks197457 [2]

The density is determined on the steepness of the slope. The greater the density is bases upon the steepest slope. To conclude, I'd say Line A has the steepest slope therefore has the greatest density.
