Because when you spill water on it, the reflection comes from the surface of the water, not the ground glass.

Assume the acceleration of the object is a(t) = −9.8 meters per second per second. (Neglect air resistance.) A baseball is throw

Answer:8.1 m

Explanation:

Given

ball is launched from height of 3 m

initial velocity $u=10 m/s$

considering the ball is thrown vertically upward

Using $v^2-u^2=2 as$

where,

u=initial velocity

v=final Velocity

a=acceleration

s=distance

At maximum height final velocity will be zero

$v^2-u^2=2 gs$

$0-10^2=2(-9.8)\cdot h$

$h=5.10 m$

Therefore maximum height w.r.t ground is $3+5.10=8.10 m$

A 5.93 kg ball is attached to the top of a vertical pole with a 2.35 m length of massless string. The ball is struck, causing it

Delvig [45]

Answer

given,

mass of ball = 5.93 kg

length of the string = 2.35 m

revolve with velocity of 4.75 m/s

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

T cos θ = mg

T cos θ = $5.93\times 9.81$

T cos θ = 58.17

$T sin \theta =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$T sin \theta =\dfrac{5.93\times 4.75^2}{2.35 sin \theta}$

$T sin^2 \theta =56.93$

$sin^2 \theta = 1 - cos^2 \theta$

$T (1 - cos^2 \theta) =56.93$

$T (1 - (\dfrac{58.17}{T})^2) =56.93$

T² - 56.93T - 3383.75 = 0

T = 93.22 N

$cos \theta = \dfrac{58.17}{93.22}$

θ = 51.39°

While finding the spring constant, if X1 = 12 cm, X2 = 15 cm, and hanging mass = 22 grams, the value of spring constant K would

Pavel [41]

Answer:

If x₁=12 cm then k=1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm then k=1.4388 N/m

Explanation:

Hanging mass= 22 g=0.022 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s²

If x₁=displacement= 12 cm=0.12 m

k= spring constant

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=0.022\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=0.21582\ N$

$\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.012\\\Rightarrow k=1.7985\ N/m\\$

∴k = 1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm=0.15 m

Force of the hanging mass is same however the spring constant will change

$\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.015\\\Rightarrow k=1.4388\ N/m\\$

∴k = 1.4388 N/m

As the mass is not changing the spring constant has to change. That means that here there are two spring one with k=1.7985 N/m and the other with k= 1.4388 N/m

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^2.

So to calculate the time it will take to make the ball stop(which btw means the ball now reach its greatest height), use the formula V1=V0+at. V1 is the final velocity(which is 0), V0 is the starting velocity(which is 30m/s), and the a(cceleration) is 9.8m/s^2.

(You can ignore the fact "at" is -30 instead 30, it's because the directions two velocity travel are opposite. )

We can now know the time it takes to make the ball stop just by the gravitational force is about 3 sec.

Use another formula S=1/2at^2, to find out the S(height) is 1/2*9.8*3^2=44.1, which is approximately D.45m .
